Gardening

I hope all of you had an amazing week.

It’s the beginning of a new month. Amidst all that’s been on my mind lately, I just realized that I never started my garden. I usually start the seeds indoors and then plant outdoors weeks later. I’m hoping to start planting indoors this week.

Are you planting a garden this year? If so, what are you going to plant?

The Blacksmith’s Bride

I’m still writing The Blacksmith’s Bride – a historical novel set a few years after the Civil War. The Blacksmith’s Bride is the third book in the Romance Bride Series. I’m still researching while I write my novel. In an earlier newsletter, I described a formal ball that may have occurred in 1867 Philadelphia.

Another cool thing that I researched was the formal ball invitation. Such an invite may have been printed on thick, high-quality cardstock. The cardstock was likely ivory or cream-colored. The ink was dark – usually black or sometimes navy blue, and the letters were slightly raised. There may have been a decorative floral border. Sometimes there could be a monogram. Such an invite may have looked similar to this:

Moist Yellow Cake

I made the most delicious, moist, buttery yellow cake recently. Whenever I feel down, a good piece of cake will cheer me up! Here’s the recipe! If you make it, let me know how it turned out!

Events

I currently have one in-person event – scheduled for June 28th. More information here.

Our Country!

Remember to keep our country in prayer as all/some of these changes take place! At times, transitions do 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! A friend of mine recently had a heart attack and is scheduled for surgery. If you have friends who are sick or hospitalized be sure to visit or call them to be sure that they are okay!
