I'm late posting this. Why? Well, I've been a little manic this week. Every day brought a new surprise that couldn't be set aside and involved time-consuming attention. The weather was all over the place too. Early in the week it was warm and sunny, but yesterday brought snow and an…
This week was odd. Snow and cold temperatures ruled early in the week, but--get this--today it's supposed to be sixty degrees. So weird! I was as off kilter as the weather. The kids didn't have school on Monday, and all my normal Monday stuff got switched around. On Tuesday I forgot…
I'm knee deep in writing my fifth Lake Endwell book and preparing for the April release of Her Small-Town Romance, so today's post is going to be short and sweet. Happy Valentine's Day!! May your day be filled with chocolate, hugs and blessings!! Have a…
