I have a complaint.

See, I've been traveling this past month – quite a lot (hello Louisiana, and Oklahoma and Portland!)  And I was thrilled when I was able to work in a quick trip down to Minneapolis to see my newborn niece, Ellie Lund.  She's adorable! 

However….

Well, I'm not sure what's going on here but….

Here's a picture of Ellie and me…

 


Now, I'd like you to just compare it for one moment to the picture of my son Peter, holding Ellie.

 


Okay, what's the deal here? 

Probably I need to fill her in on a...

The Bean.

My daughter is a junior in high school, so we've begun the college search.  Although I've been on the road for a few weeks, to such places as Sioux Falls, SD, Fargo, ND, Fosston, MN, and even Monroe, Louisiana – I squeezed in a quick trip to Chicago to visit North Park University.  

We went there because my daughter loves schools with columns.  Apparently this is her criteria for a great college.  We're working on that.  



Now…I THOUGHT we were there to visit the college.

No.

We really went...

Back in the Day!

Pops had big hands.(Picture is of Pops, and my mother in front, and her youngest brother,
John behind her. ) Wide and strong and they would sweep me up and hold me over his head. His silver gray hair was always Bryl-creamed back. He had eyes that twinkled when his granddaughter walked into the room. A train engineer, his hats lined the stairs to the basement. They were gray, striped and much too big for my head when he fitted them on me, pulling them over my eyes.

February Fun!

Okay, so, I know I didn't blog much in February.  It's because, well, I was offline.  Having…fun!

First, there was this….



AKA, Dinner out with my hubby for Valentine's Day.  It's a little frightening, I know, when I'm enthralled with a piece of cake, but this was simply gorgeous (and tasty too).  Since there was no dancing (we couldn't find a decent blues or swing band!) I had to be satisfied with this amazing cake.

I'm realizing as I write this that I sound rather pitiful. 

Not to fear...

Announcing my new collection ... Brothers in Arms!

I'm thrilled to announce that book 1 in the Brothers in Arms Collection is available for purchase everywhere!

Here's a bit about Sons of Thunder and the collection as a whole:

It's every author's dream to have one of their favorite editors call them up and say…"will you write me a story?" Uh, yes! And especially wonderful is when God has dropped a story in that author's heart to simmer months earlier.

See, I was on a plane to Florida. And, as I sat down, my seatmate was on his cell phone...
