This Just In

Jun

Does she look like she’s ready to calm down any minute now?

I got a new contract for two more Silhouette Romantic Suspenses! :sheepjump:

Found out on Friday. Went to pick up 14 from football practice.

Me: “I sold two more books.”

14: “Okay.”

Me: “It’s a big deal. I’m excited.”

14: “You’ve sold a lot of books.”

Me: “I’m famous!”

14: “How come we’re not rich if you’re famous?”

Me: “Don’t get picky.”

(Free Book Friday winner: #17, Ellen! Email me!)

Free Book Friday: My Favorite Excuse

Jun

Desdemona. :biggrin:

We gave away the other four kittens, so she has no friends. Her mama is busy hunting, and my other 496 cats find her far too immature for their sophisticated tastes.

So that makes me her new best friend.


She’s here.


She’s there.


She’s everywhere!


I’m supposed to WORK LIKE THIS? :eek:

She is awful cute, though, isn’t she? What’s your favorite excuse for not doing whatever you should be doing right now? Drop a comment, and a random commenter will be chosen on Monday to receive another one of the June Silhouette Romantic Suspense releases–A Serial Affair by Natalie Dunbar!

First Day of Summer…

Jun

…and it’s dry dry dry here. Showens Run, the creek on our farm, isn’t exactly running.


Progress report on the farm:

16 and two of his high school friends dug about 50 post holes in one afternoon. Another 4,398 and they’ll be all done! :lol:


Meanwhile, there’s water line to be buried…..


…and culverts to be placed in the dry creekbed to build a bridge.


All this stuff is kinda boring, though. Where are my chickens?? :chicken:

Wild, Wonderful

West Virginia’s Capitol Building in Charleston, viewed here from across the Kanawha River.

Today is State Day, West Virginia’s birthday, the day it (as my children like to say, ILLEGALLY) broke from Virginia and became a state during the Civil War. I was going to make a list of my favorite things about West Virginia, but then I remembered what a six-year-old who visited us at the farmhouse said recently when asked what her favorite thing was about West Virginia.

She said: “The people.”

Now if a place could get a better compliment than that, I don’t know what it is.

Happy Birthday, West Virginia.

The Slanted Little House

"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....
