1/3/2025 0 Comments It's Hallmark Movie Season I might have started watching Hallmark movies before Thanksgiving. Hey, they wouldn't be airing them if they didn't want us to watch.
Now that Thanksgiving is officially over, I'm in full on binge mode. I don't care that they might be cookie cutter. I don't care that there is a BINGO game to play while watching these shows. I also don't care what people say when they hear I watch these movies. I love a happily ever after, which is guaranteed with these shows. As far as travel in the month of November, we didn't. We drove to our old campground that we stayed in while we were building our house. We planned to camp for two nights, but after a rainy first night and a full day of activities in the cold, we packed up and drove the thirty minutes home. We did go to Energy World and explored the use of nuclear energy in our community. It was very enlightening, and we did more research by watching documentaries when we arrived home. I'm working on an Ink Tracing book and a coloring book, you can choose your favorite way to art. It's a renaissance themed book. So, if you like a good ren faire, then this might be the book for you. It should be up by the second week of December. I'm also continuing work on a Christmas themed book, but I'm not sure if I'll make the deadline for the holiday. We shall see. My hero and I are traveling to the Smokey Mountains this weekend. It seems to be a winter wonderland, which we can enjoy for a few days. Expect to see pictures on Facebook.

 Getting my ducks in a row after the storm. Well, this has been an interesting month at my house. On Friday, September 27, Hurricane Helene blew through the upstate of South Carolina. Being a minimum of 4 hours away from the coast, means that we don't have hurricanes and people here haven't had to deal with anything like that before.
The storm also continued up to the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, where our kids live. The month has been full of hurry up and wait. Wait for power to return, wait for internet access, wait to hear from the kids, get water to the kids, stock up on supplies, do laundry. Everything was made difficult because of the trees laying across wires, roads being blocked by trees and downed powerlines. In the middle of the craziness, my husband and I abandoned ship to Jacksonville, Florida, where we picked up the Carnival Elation for a 5-day cruise. We had planned this during the summer, so we had no way to know that we would be leaving our house with no power or internet. After eight days, the power returned. The internet did not. We had water the whole time, since we are on public water and we never had a boil order, thankfully. This was good for us and for our kids, who here in mid-October are just getting water back. They can only use the water to flush toilets, so they come here for showers and to wash their clothes. It's a slow process, but at least it's progress and we still have our homes and our lives. Our internet came back on last night, Oct. 15th. High speed internet is a blessing. I feel like I have no more excuses not to get work done. On a cruise note, the trip was excellent. Who doesn't love it when people make your bed and cook for you. We also won our 24-carat gold, plastic ship on a stick for trivia. It's a goal every cruise to bring home the prize. We also won a first loser medal for a different trivia game. The Bahamas was warm and welcoming. We toured forts, shopped and swam in the crystal blue waters. I'm looking forward to the next cruise already, even if it hasn't been booked, yet. Hey, what are you reading? 10/16/2024 2 Comments August is back in school in the South I love back to school time. I love the excitement that swirls around starting something new. I'm attempting to bring that energy to my writing this month. Here in the South, school starts at the beginning of August. And, since I'm not traveling this month, I only need to spend some time away from the pool and away from watching the Olympics.
Are you watching the Olympics? Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one watching, but I know my mom was watching because I was with her at camp, so she had to watch. There have been so many exciting finishes and unexpected events at this year's Olympics that an author would be hard-pressed to write something like that. Summer can be so distracting. In Maine, we waited for winter to come so we could hold up in the house and write our little hearts out, but down here in the South, it's not the same. Winter in the South is delightful. My new friends will tell you that it's freezing, but I have yet to pull out my heavy winter coat. But, let's not think about winter...go spend some time outside, bring a book and I'll spend a little time inside writing my next book. 8/6/2024 0 Comments July is for...traveling Summer is in full swing and for me that means trips to Maine. I spent weeks with my mom at camp to help get things get up, then I flew home. I was home for a few weeks and then my husband and I drove up to Maine in the motorhome. We made a stop to visit his mom and our friends. We saw a great local Maine band, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and played cards.
