It’s September 3rd, and after reading this post from a few years ago, I realized I’m still working on another kitchen project. The current one is coming right along. But not picture worthy as of this writing.
In the post, I included pictures of the kitchen at the time. I loved it! The butter yellow of the cabinets, and especially the kitchen door looking out on my little pond. The goldfish lived for several years in that pond! I miss it still. I enjoyed reading about those days, and the memories brought to mind.
Today, here in Missouri, I decorated for autumn. Thank you to our oldest for moving every unpacked tote to try and locate my door wreaths. They’ll turn up…in January! But the fireplace looks warm and cozy, and the room smells delicious. Cinnamon and cloves with a bit of warm apple tossed in. I’ll try not to think about it being 98 degrees out right now! Cooler weather will come; it always does.
A huge thank you to those that have entered to win the 3rd book in the Love Defined series, Sweet Forbearance. You have until September 30th to enter. Lots of time for you to read #1, Sweet Hope, and #2, Sweet Belief before the end of the month. And as always, let me know what you thought!
Writing has always been a love of mine. Except for school reports! I didn't cherish those moments. I began with poems in grade school, and short little stories that I illustrated. I created something for each family celebration and probably wore my family out. But I graduated to a longer 'book' by the time I was 18. Following traditional romance novel writing, I pounded out a pretty cheesy story on a Royal typewriter I had found at a garage sale. You didn't worry about your nails when using one of those! When four of our five children were still young, I wrote my first full-length book back in 1998. I followed it with three more in that series. Those are my current WIP, needing many updates and editing. I'm happy to say as of this writing, the fourth in the Love Defined series is written and waiting for edits! I can't wait to get this final book in the series into my reader's hands! Currently, I have published twelve books, creating the covers on most of them. The cover work is something I really enjoy! Stay tuned for more on that.
My husband and I have been married for forty-one years, and we have five children and nine grandchildren. I've been a homeschooling mom, Sunday school teacher, AWANA director and a pastor's wife. I've worked as a CNA and an Activity Director. When I'm not busy writing...which I love, BTW, I'm working on home projects, marketing and attending events, where I love to meet you...my readers!
