The winner of the That’s (not exactly) Amore contest is Janna Ryan. And y’all convinced me that we needed to give away the full series. How could I even suggest one book when the series was an option 🙂 And the winners of the Olympics contest are Lindsey and Ane Mulligan. If a few more people enter before the closing …
Nature will not…
Nature will not be admired by proxy… — Winston Churchill This quote came up on my 1000 places to see before you die tear off calendar. There have been so many beautiful pictures, enough to leave me dreaming and drooling of places I would like to visit. But this quote really hit me today. Life is nutty right now. I’m …
Creation Museum
Sunday while we were in Ohio for the booksigning and research trip, we swung south to the Creation Museum. Eric and I were both surprised at just how well it was done. There wasn’t anything cheap about it — other than maybe the outside design of the building — and that’s being really nit-picky. The botanical gardens were beautiful. And …
Olympic Celebration Giveaway
I’m feeling the generosity of the Olympic spirit. And stealing an idea from one of the Barbour editors at The Edit Cafe — she’s giving away three sets of books. Be sure to click through and leave a comment there for a chance to win one of the three sets. So in addition to the That’s (not exactly) Amore giveaway …
Women’s Gymnastics
Wow! What a night. What a heartbreaker, but what performances. I love women’s gymnastics and my heart broke for Alicia Sacramone when she fell. She takes the blame for a silver — good night, people — we got a SILVER !!!! but for any of you tempted to let her take the blame, you’ve got to watch this piece by …

I …

Finding Stefanie
I’ll tell you more about this great book next week. For now, suffice it to say, that it arrived in the mail and I grabbed it and moved it to the top of my reading pile. I love Susan’s books, and this one didn’t disappoint … at all… well other than the fact it’s the last book in the series. …
