Summerrrrrrr!!!!
I took this photo of a dog running in the surf at Myrtle Beach. I love dogs at the beach! They’re so much fun. Yesterday was the last day of school here. Today–no alarm clock, no bus, no papers from school to sign, no kids rushing around scrambling to find their backpacks…. Just dogs running in the surf and the sound of waves pounding the sand. I’m spending the entire summer relaxing at a beach house in the Outer Banks!!
Okay, that’s so a lie. That’s the picture of my fantasy summer. My real summer? Camps–4-H and sports in June, RWA (romance writer camp, LOL) in July, and back to sports practices the first of August. Still fun, but busy-busy, and no beach in sight.
What’s your fantasy summer vs. your real summer? I’m giving away the June releases from Silhouette Romantic Suspense, and up for grabs this weekend is Shelter from the Storm by RaeAnne Thayne! Drop me a note to be in the running!

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"

But my dream summer is a week or more on the ocean. I do love where I live, but I really, really wish I lived close to the ocean.

Actual summer: temps in the 80’s, windy with a capital W, and having to choose an evening to sit out with mosqitoes and as little wind as possible.

real summer – huge, biting mosquitoes who laugh in the face of the zapper and chase you around the garden, either really hot weather or pelting rain with hail and tornado warnings, half finished wip because the characters took THEIR vacation to the bahamas :flying:

Dream vacation: the mountains and a pool.
Real vacation: Don’t have a vacation, the kids homeschool all year long. *sigh*
