Hampton Beach 2014 Sand Sculpting Competition
Hampton Beach 2014 Sand Sculpting Competition
Missy and I couldn’t wait to check out the results of the beautiful sand sculpting artwork at Hampton Beach this past Monday. It was pretty crowded. We had to wait a little while to take some pics of the awesome designs among the crowd of onlookers at the beach. It is one thing to actually see the pics online, but to view them in person was absolutely breathtaking. For those who could not make it, see the pictures below.
The winner this year was a...

Jenna’s Awakening Proof Copy
For the past 4 days, we have been dealing with having the trim around our house repaired and painted. Some of this work was supposed to be taken care of before we purchased it, but we were not able to verify it had been done before signing the papers since we were almost 1000 miles away at the time. Several things have crept up on us throughout the past year and a half of owning this home. Sometimes, we wonder why we bothered with an inspection since the guy failed...

My Mother
My Mom
Next month will be 11 years since my Mom passed away. When I was younger, I was a huge tomboy. I seriously hated being a girl. My favorite outfit was jeans, a plaid shirt, a green jean jacket, and cowboy boots. I was always at my father’s side. If he was working on a car, I was under it with him. If he was driving the tractor in the garden, I was on his lap. If he was lying on the floor watching wrestling, I was lying beside him. My mother did not understand why I was never interested i...

You Can Never Win If You Never Try
I never imagined I would have someone buy a book I had written, but I gave it a shot last week…and I am glad I gave it a shot. Jenna’s Awakening is now in the top 40 for lesbian romance!
If I had never tried, I would have never known if I could sell any copies.

My First Novel
I am so exited to have published my first novel on Amazon. Jenna’s Awakening is the first book in the Dr. Jenna Harper series. It has already sold a few copies in the first hour! I am so thankful for everyone who has purchased it, and I hope they enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I have the 2nd book in the series written, but I have to edit it still. Writing is the easy part. I am so lucky to have the support and encouragement of my wife, Mel. Without her, the novel would stil...

Finally Spring Is Here Almost
All the snow has finally melted in the seacoast of New Hampshire, but not before getting one last little snowfall in the middle of April. Our little crocus bulbs were not too happy about that! It’s now time to exchange the snow blower for the lawn mower. The grass is slowly starting to green up now, which means I have to get the lawn mower ready; change the oil and air filter. We also have to figure out if we need to reseed any bare grass spots. I prefer to do that in the fall, but that depen...

Weekend Update
It has been a while since we updated the blog. We have been busy settling into our new home and making repairs as well as exploring our new home state of New Hampshire. We absolutely love it here. Anyway, our weekends are not the traditional Saturdays and Sundays that some lucky people enjoy. We have Sundays and Mondays off. Yes, it sucks but at least we have the same days off together; not everyone can say that.
This past Sunday we woke up to 1 foot of snow, so we spent some time getting acqu...
