Simple Pleasure!
I hope all of you are having a wonderful week!
My husband recently commented that we’d not had Krispy Kreme donuts in years. We normally buy them during our North Carolina trips – but had not taken the time to purchase them the last few times. They are also sold at local grocery stores – but we prefer the ones that are freshly made at the Krispy Kreme bakery. We discovered that we could get them delivered from a D.C. location – so we did! They were delicious!
They now have a specialty-themed, limited edition Pac Man donut collection. We wanted to try some of these but they weren’t available for delivery.
Do you have a Krispy Kreme bakery in your area? If so, do you ever indulge?
Hide and Seek
A cool thing about writing historicals is researching. In The Blacksmith’s Bride I have a scene where two people are playing hide and seek. While writing the scene it occurred to me that I wasn’t sure if kids played hide and seek back then – so I had to do some research!
Did you know that hide and seek has been played since ancient times? The method of playing was the same, where one person counts while the others hide. The last person who is found is usually the winner. The first person found is the loser and must be “it” for the next round. If the seeker can’t find everyone, then he/she will call out ” “Olly olly oxen free” and the still-hidden players would then come out. An earlier version of the game was ancient Greek and was called apodidraskinda.
As a child, I often played hide and seek with my friends and with my siblings. How about you? Did you play hide and seek when you were a child?
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 enjoying writing The Blacksmith’s Bride as each character goes through an emotional journey of change and faith. Pre-order a copy for yourself and a friend!
