I’m ready for fall. August in Texas can be brutal. Not to
mention what a crazy month it has been. We were staying with our daughter and
her family until our house was ready. We didn’t think that day would ever come.
But it did and we’re all moved in. After 3 ½ years of traveling in a 350 square
feet fifth wheel to see 39 states, we’ve settled down again in a home without
wheels. I have to admit, we were a little sad, but this is a brand new
adventure. We’ll still travel, but in a different way.
We also celebrated (a few weeks early) our 50th
wedding anniversary. Wow, has that much time already gone by. They say time
flies when you’re having fun. I guess whoever said that was right. Our kids
surprised us with a party and a cruise. Karl and I are super excited. We’ve
only been on one, and it was very brief, but we had a blast. This time we’re
headed for the Mayan ruins! This has been on our bucket list for a while.
Then we headed to Port Aransas with our son and grandson for
5 days. Our grandson is 9 and we had a great time teaching him how to fish. We
walked on the beach and collected shells and a whole lot of new memories.
Speaking of which, our son did a collage of pictures and had them put on one
sheet in a beautiful frame.
But then they flew back to Michigan. The house is quiet once
again. Now it’s me and Karl. I have an office again and plan on having a lot of
new releases. If you haven’t had a chance to grab my newest, Bless Your Heart,
is the start of a brand new series and just released this month. It has a sexy,
small town flavor. I hope you enjoy my, It’s A Southern Thang series
(intentionally misspelled, pronounced with a Texas drawl).
Our new Monthly Giveaway starts August 4, and it's Winner's Choice with great options for prizes. Take a look at it.
