Happy Friday!
I dunno about you, but I’m looking forward to a nice looong Memorial Day weekend…
Full of yard work, and painting and maybe, if I’m lucky, steaks on the grill.
But I deserve it because I’ve been wildly busy since returning to Minnesota, starting with spending most of last week at a publisher’s conference.
Let’s have a little catch up.
Last time we chatted, I was packing to drive home to MN.
My dog was freaking out about us leaving him behind. He grabbed his leash and followed us around the house. What a silly.
But sweet.
No one likes to be left behind,
Just a quick note today. We’re on the road to Minnesota…
(To be clear, the dogs ride on the INSIDE of the car, with us. But for some reason Mr. AI thought All Dogs Should Ride on Roofs, so that’s what we got today. And I would have taken a picture of the dogs,
Happy Tuesday.
This is the last Tuesday I’ll be writing to you from the beach.
I know.
It’s very sad.
We went for our last walk on the beach today. (To be clear, we’re very excited to get back to Minneapolis and our people there. But we will miss our people here…)
(I’m not sure why I look like I didn’t sleep for a week.
When we last chatted, I was diving in to catch up on work and writing after abandoning my characters in a blizzard in Alaska to head north and hang with these two cuties.
They just warm my heart.
I emerged two days later, manuscript finished, to go for a celebratory dinner on the beach with Hubs (at our favorite restaurant – Squid Lips!
Happy Friday! Free book in the PS.
BUT first, it’s been a bit of a crazy week. You may or may not have noticed that there was no Tuesday note.
That’s because my sweet daughter-in-law went into labor on Sunday afternoon. I missed the initial phone call, and about 30 mins later,
What a great week. I spent it with oooooold friends (we’ve been friends for 50+ years!)
hanging out by this pool…
We had deep talks about life and lessons and gratitude…the kind of getaway that helps you take a good look at your life and see how God has walked with you every step of the way.
Coming at you today from Orlando.
I worked very hard last week, rescued my people from a blizzard, then an avalanche (I know, it’s tough being in a Susan May Warren book) and then set them on the run after a killer…
And promptly drove to Orlando for a little poolside getaway…
On my drive over from the beach,
Just a quick note today – I’m currently trapped in a blizzard with these two people are aren’t handling it very well, honestly. Feels like they might be a wee bit stressed about spending time with the One Who Broke Their Hearts.
BT-dubs, these aren’t cover models, but just characters I generated so I could “see” them as I write.
