Birthday Celebration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of enjoyment, here’s a few pics from my husband’s birthday celebrations last weekend. His birthday is tomorrow (October 14). We went out to dinner on Saturday night – just the two of us. Yesterday, we met up with relatives and went out again. This is a pic of my husband and my sister in front of the restaurant where we ate on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bathroom Repairs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our garage is very cluttered right now. We’ve purchased all of the materials for our remodel – with the exception of the tiles and grout – we order that through the contractor. Renovation is supposed to start next week, so, I’ll keep you posted about that. Here’s a few pics of some of the items that we recently had delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s autumn! I had <\/strong><\/em>a few questions<\/strong><\/em><\/a> that I’d like you to respond. The questions are about books with an autumn theme. I also have questions about deluxe editions.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As stated previously, I\u2019m still writing The Blacksmith’s Bride<\/a> \u2013 a historical novel set a few years after the Civil War. The Blacksmith\u2019s Bride is the third book in the Romance Bride Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m enjoying writing The Blacksmith’s Bride<\/a> as each character goes through an emotional journey of change and faith. Pre-order<\/a> a copy for yourself and a friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing Services<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Events<\/strong><\/a>\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be participating in the Eat Local Read Local event at the Cascades Library in Virginia on October 18, 2025. I currently have other events in the works. Once my plans are finalized, I will update you with details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Country!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember to keep our country in prayer as all\/some of these changes take place! At times, our country does not run smoothly! Also, remember to pray for all that are suffering in our nation! Be sure to check on your friends and loved ones to be sure they are okay!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
