I hope you all have a blessed weekend!! I'm celebrating because I do not have ANYTHING on my calendar for today!!! What a luxury! I think I'm going to do another lesson in my online painting class. I'm slow as Christmas but enjoy it so much!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your free day, Missy. Those are so enjoyable when they come around.
DeleteIt has finally stopped snowing in the Black Hills, and summer is here! Sunshine! Warm temperatures! I'm lovin' it!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to trade calendars with Missy, LOL! My day is packed. A funeral this morning, and then it's a writing afternoon for me.
Have a great weekend, everybody!
Glad your snow stopped, Jan. I wanted to tell you I sold one of your books at the book store this morning. A lady came in and asked for Amish books and we happened to have Hannah's Choice and I recommended it to her!
DeleteJan, we attended a funeral this morning as well. My afternoon is devoted to writing. Glad summer has come to your area of the world!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to all!
I am home this weekend, which I haven't been too much for a while, so that is nice. We bought tomato plants today which we need to get into our garden this weekend. It is nice weather finally after all our rain.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to win the book from Louise Gouge and Laurie Kingery. I'm also looking forward to a post everyday this week.
Thanks for a great week of posts. :) I pre-ordered my Summer of Suspense! Can't wait to dig in...it will be a great read for camping in August.
