  2. Hey, congrats to Missy, Mary and Pammers on their new releases! ALWAYS A THRILL no matter how many books you have out... I brought Duck Donuts to celebrate because they are SO VERY GOOD! :)

    1. Thanks for celebrating with me, Ruthy! I'm really excited! And of course, a good donut to celebrate is never a bad idea. :)

    2. Donuts? Oh, yeah, I'm all over that! No calories (or carbs!) in Seekerville!

      Congrats on your new releases, Missy and Mary!

  3. Are Duck Donuts better than Krispy Kreme? I'm in.

  4. Looking forward to Ruthy's career planning segment now that I finally have a career to plan.
    Glad people liked my thank-you note tip. BTW, I also keep a small stash of stamped thank-you notes at home, and just whip them out when someone does something for me. It never hurts to be civilized.
    Sorry I missed Ruthy's "1776" post and don't know how it fell through the cracks for me as I am currently obsessed with the American Revolution. Just read Heidi Chiavaroli's "Freedom's Ring," a nice job and good read, and am doing research for my own Revolutionary War story to be attempted after my other two series are accepted and my Oregon Trail series completed for Pelican. Like Ruthy says, it's always good to have a plan. I've done the Freedom Trail in bits and pieces, never all at once, and am planning a couple of trips to Lexington and Concord this summer. Almost a religious experience as I stand on that bridge and realize what the Colonists accomplished, or were about to accomplish. Gives me chills, even when I'm not there.
    Working on my Oregon Trail sequel in prep to submit it to Pelican, and working on the story I want to shop around at ACFW. Meeting personal and external goals, it's about time.

    1. Kathy, I agree about that spot on Old North Bridge. It's always so moving to visit there.

    2. Agreeing to the importance of thank-you notes. So many folks think they're a thing of the past. :(

  7. Happy Weekend, everyone!

    It's our turn for the heat wave today, but a cold front is due to move through tonight. I'm staying inside and writing all day.

    Doesn't that sound wonderful? :-)

    1. GA is hot! How cool is your cold front? In GA, that would mean temps in the low 80s! :)

      Delete
    2. Not very cool...we'll have a couple days in the upper 80s before we head back into the mid 90s again.

      But it's summer! We have to expect it!

  8. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! We're celebrating one of our grandchildren's birthdays. Always fun! Love those little ones who are growing up much too quickly.
