I started writing a new book this week. I’m two chapters in and I’m already staying up late at night thinking through all the exciting things that are going to happen. I love the thrill of discovering new characters and taking them on a journey. I usually have everything all plotted out before I start but often there are blank spaces and I love to see how God fills those blanks—and the entire story—with truth.
You get to choose!!
It’s another beautiful Friday night but our summers are ending fast, aren’t they? Hubs and I took a quick trip down to Florida this past week to help our son Noah pack up and head off to… Kazakhstan! He’ll be spending a year there teaching English at a local college and we’re so excited for him.
A few summer reading recommendations!
August! Hello—where did summer go? I have friends whose children are back in school!
I can admit that panic has set in. My TBR is massive, and my porch is calling…
I did make a small dent in the pile this week by reading a book by one of my friends,
All the Pretty Things!
Truth is, I love my garden. Even when we lived up north, I had a nice house garden, with flowers that usually survived the winter. When we moved to this house, the garden was one massive juniper plant that overtook everything with its wild bristly branches. I tore it out, and decided not to remove the thousands and thousands of tons of rock around the house,
It’s about time…
Are you as ready for summer as I am? It’s been a fabulous few weeks celebrating my son’s wedding but I am ready for some downtime!
One thing I love about summer is getting out the Corvette. We took it out for a buzz last weekend…so much fun.
I also love lining up my summer reading and other fun projects and events.
The Long Awaited…
You know that feeling you have when something you’ve waited for for a very long time finally happens? You’re so overwhelmed with joy you can hardly speak. That’s how I felt this weekend watching my oldest son marry the girl of his dreams. It was a glorious event, a beautiful day, with lots of tears,
Just when you thought the fun was over…
This is an epic picture I took from the plane window right before it touched down in Atlanta. It was almost as exciting getting home as it was for the last 2 weeks traveling around Italy.
We boarded in Rome, but because of an air traffic control strike in Paris we set on the tarmac for over an hour in Rome,
Trekking the Epic World
I hope you’re enjoying your European adventure with Ned as much as I’ve been enjoying my Italian vacation. Sure, your adventures may have been more on the suspenseful side…but what did you expect? A relaxing stroll through Florence?
Me and Drew having a relaxing stroll through Florence.
All joking aside, I am so thankful for the kind reviews already pouring in for Ned and I can’t wait for the rest of the world to get their hands on the book when it releases on Amazon and other retailers and paperback on 6/6!
Adventure is calling!
So, I’ve been head down, writing hard to get to a mini-deadline on book 5 of the Minnesota Marshalls (CREED!) before I pack my bags and head off to a quick, but desperately needed, vacay in Italy! This is how far I’ve gotten in my packing…
I’m so excited to hang out in Italy again—I know we went last year,
