Cozumel, Day 5

As our Kat isn’t feeling well, Jason designates himself our chauffeur for shopping while the guys head off to fish. Kayla has enough Spanish to explain to housekeeping not to open the door to Kat’s bedroom as she’s resting. Before we head out we have a quick game of Daddy Gate. While Jason, Kayla, Griffin … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 5 →

Cozumel, Day 4

We experience, and test our mettle with, a day without power. No AC, no water, no internet, no nothing! Our hopes that this will be a quick fix are dashed. It’s island wide. So we have the pool, we have the Gulf, we have books and toys and cards. And make use of all. I … Continue reading Cozumel, Day 4 →

Cozumel Day 3

The three oldest kids and BW try out the Gulf. What fun—for them, and for me to watch. The practicing snorkeling in the pool worked great. Kayla, however, goes in, comes out and ditches her mask. She decides she’d rather not know those fish are in there! Logan finds a conch shell with an occupant. … Continue reading Cozumel Day 3 →

Cozumel Day 2

A fine day had by all. Some lazing around, some swimming. Part of the gang hits the grocery store for the big run. While they’re out I teach Colt 5-Card Draw. Every boy should have this skill—and every girl, too, so we’ll teach Kayla. Grandda comes out and we switch to 7-Card Stud. When the … Continue reading Cozumel Day 2 →

Cozumel – Day 1

We take off for Mexico on a wonderfully clear day. Always a relief for me when flying. On this trip, we’re eight. BW, me, Jason, Kat, and all the grandkids—Kayla, Logan, Colt, Griffin. It’s not only Colt’s first trip out of the country, but his first plane ride. He handled it more than well. At … Continue reading Cozumel – Day 1 →

Some updates & reading recs

Mark your calendars! Nora’s travelogues start promptly tomorrow (Monday, July 3) morning. Stay tuned for the adventure. Since it’s prime summer reading time in the Northern Hemipshere and snuggle-up by-the-fire reading time in the Southern, I thought I’d share what I’ve read recently. First up, as to be expected, are Nora’s next three books. To … Continue reading Some updates & reading recs →

Fall into the story behind Inheritance

Note from Laura: Just as she did before the Chronicles of the One, Nora’s written a letter to explain the direction of her next trilogy: The Lost Bride Trilogy. I think you’re going to love this next adventure Dear Readers, When I think of hauntings, I first think of my maternal grandmother. I suppose this … Continue reading Fall into the story behind Inheritance →

Sunday in June

BW’s been off to the beach with pals this week, and I’ve tried to make the most of the quiet house—and no cooking. Good, solid writing days—a few interruptions for other business, other duties, but a good, solid week. That left the weekend to catch up a bit with domestic chores. Weeding, deadheading, watering, laundry—and … Continue reading Sunday in June →

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

And we did! Our annual spa week just keeps getting better. And this year, the fabulous weather only added a great big plus. It’s such a gift to have real time to hang out with pals, to catch up, relax, laugh, enjoy each other’s company and as much quiet time as you like. How much … Continue reading Girls Just Wanna Have Fun →

Identity discussion spot

Does summer (or winter if you live in the Southern Hemisphere) start when Nora’s standalone hits shelves? (I personally think so.) Well, you can consider the season officially changed as Identity is on sale today. I read it a long time ago, but can clearly remember all the twists, turns and fun of reading about … Continue reading Identity discussion spot →
