Not Yet

Still no baby…but our daughter-in-law does have an appointment to be induced at 7AM tomorrow (Wednesday) if nothing happens tonight. SO, stay tuned! I will soon have pictures of the newest addition to our family.

In the meantime, here is Bear, wearing his pink T-shirt. He has stitches in his leg, which will come out later this week—thank goodness. In order to keep him from licking at them, I’ve been making him wear shirts—and changing them up to three times a day. Labs love water and can find it when no one else can! He does have one of those silly ‘cones’, but it truly is pitiful. Bear is over 100 pounds, so the cone is larger than a lampshade. He can’t go through doorways with it on, and the first day, he tried to follow Cody up the stairs, but the cone kept hitting the steps above him. In the end, Bear turned around and backed all the up the flight of stairs, including where it turns the corner. That couldn’t have been good on the stitches, so I dug out old T-shirts. 

Other news…Thursday, Aug.1st is release day for the Stetsons and Scandals mini-series! I really loved writing those two stories and hope readers will enjoy reading them! 

My editor just emailed me this morning with the title for my Christmas Undone story…Snowbound with the Sheriff. What do you think?

That’s all for now. I’ll update you on the baby as soon as I have news.  And pictures.

Weekend at the Lake

We had a wonderful weekend at my brother’s cabin. He and his wife, his kids, and grandkids, me and hubby, our kids and grandkids.  Oh, and our granddog, Bear. Here he is with one of my great nephews. Bear kept the kids well entertained, or the kids kept Bear well entertained, either way, we all had a great time. The weather even cooperated. Hot during the day for lots of water fun and cool at night for fireworks, a campfire and great sleeping.  It was hard to come home. 

This weekend I’m hosting a wedding shower for my niece who is getting married in August, so it’ll be another fun weekend. 

Sing to Me, Cowboy is still making the blog tours for the Honky Tonk Hearts series. Today I was at Katherine Grey’s blog with Brenda Whiteside and Sherri Thomas. Yesterday I hosted Brenda and Stacy Dawn over at CowboyKisses, and next week I’ll be over at Kat HenryDoran’s blog.

Oh, and I received the blurb for What a Cowboy Wants. (It will be released September 1^st.)

Central Iowa, 1883

It’s been five years since Brett Richards rode out of Cutter’s Corner, Iowa, and out of Ester Larson’s life. Now he’s back to collect his orphaned siblings, and the very sight of him rekindles desire Ester thought was gone forever. The intensity of his kiss prove Brett hasn’t forgotten her either, and offer her a second chance to follow her heart. But he’s made it clear he’s going back to the dangerous frontier--with or without her…. 

I’m plugging away on my internet dating story. It’s a fun one.

Be good. Be kind. Especially to yourself. 

New Reviews

We attended a game fair with our son and daughter-in-law this weekend. Granddog Bear was so very excited. It was like taking a kid to a carnival the way he wiggled in line waiting for his turn. We were very impressed by his performances, although we always are, and seeing his abilities compared to other dogs was eye opening even for us. Now we not only think he’s talented, we know it. Furthermore, his manners are excellent. (I felt bad for some of the other dogs behaviors, and their owners.) But then again, Bear did graduate Top Dog with Honors from obedience class recently.

I’ve received several reviews lately –all for the Quinter Bride series. I do miss those Quinter boys, might have to consider moving on to the next generation. Lots of other things to complete first, though.  Anyway…I so appreciate those who take the time to read and share their thoughts on my stories. It’s a perk that always brightens my day. Here there are:

Off to get in some writing time yet today. There’s a lot going on in the world. Be kind with your thoughts, actions, and words, it does make a difference.
