"Three Rules" Is Becoming An Audio Book
I am in the process of getting "Three Rules" produced as an audio book. I had several auditions by narrators to produce it and picked my favorite.

I think I picked the perfect person to read it; it sounds great. :)

Vacation 2014
My husband and I were very fortunate to be able to take all four of our boys on vacation to Pennsylvania where we met up with my sister and her family. We visited the Central Market where every kind of food imaginable could be found. and they were giving away roses for free.
We visited the MorningStar Flea Market, which was the biggest flea market I had ever seen.
