Stay warm and safe...and snug!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Will do. Got backup heat if power goes out ☺

Hoping everyone is looking forward to the new year. I'm new to the group and would like to share a reading suggestion. I am an author of western romance with paranormal elements. The Lady in the Mist, The Western Werewolf Legend is the first in my series set during the Civil War in Pennsylvania. A young widow rescues a dying Rebel soldier. Bringing him back to health is her small miracle. How do you explain to the man you love what you did to save him? Thanks for allowing me to share. http://tinyurl.com/9ff6h4j

Thanks for the reading suggestion, Catherine. Feel free to promote in the Authors Promotions section.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Welcome to HEAC, Catherine!

[Sunny☼]

Anyone have special events or plans due to happen in 2013?

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Nothing so far, Sunny. Hoping to do a little more traveling this summer, though.

[Sunny☼]

Coming to Canada? I happen to know just the place that would welcome you with open arms..

Not much happening here. I do however think this will be the year we get a new pup. Morned the loss of our old treasure long enough.

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

lol, I was thinking a little closer to home but truly I'd love to see Canada sometime. Preferably in the summer! I don't like cold and snow. I wanna move to Hawaii!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

I'm going to put the house on the market...and look for a new one. I just don't know where to go!

I remember, when I was in high-school, on the week-ends my parents would drag me all over the country looking for a place to retire. I, of course being a typical teen, was bored out of my gourd! I couldn't figure out why they were doing it, when their retirement was years away. (Weird...since I thought they were old. LOL!)

Now, I wish I'd started looking sooner!

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Wow, LK> Bold move for the start of 2013! Didn't u just completely renovate... Was this what you had in mind all along?

[Sunny☼]

We are thinking of selling too. time to downsize. Who needs extra unused rooms to clean when you could be .say ...reading.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Well...kind of... maybe not at the beginning. I love my house. But, I can see the writing on the wall. The stairs are getting a bit much for me. And I don't really need to be cleaning three commodes. LOL! Not to mention all the bedrooms.

The trouble is, I love to cook and just got my kitchen the way I want it.

I'm actually - believe it or not! - thinking of finding a two bedroom house (single story)... and since the kitchens are so small... renovating it! LOL! Now that I know the pitfalls to avoid. (Ha! Did I just say that?)

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

I knew there was a reason why I liked you ladies so much - who wants to be cleaning when you can be reading (and chatting on these forums!)

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Good luck, LK! Your home is out there! Maybe even in Arkansas. lol

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

**hee hee** It would be fun to be neighbors with you, Pamela. However, I'm NOT chasing piglets... or pigs. I'm vegan now. LMBO!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Well, lots of land to grow your own veggies ☺

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Oh, I like that!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

I just have a tiny little garden. But I have a big back yard. Still...I need someone to do the gardening for me. LOL!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Someone male? 6 foot something? handsome and ripped?

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

[image error]

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Could you handle someone like that tending your garden? If so, I got just the spot for the garden! lol

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

**snortsnort** You actually think I'd share him? If I had him!

[Jennifer]

ROFL. Greedy, are we? ;-)

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

lol I can dream, can't I?

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Yup. I have a lot of ....ummm... work for him to do. Trust me. He's busy.

[Heather L]

Something tells me weeding ain't the only thing he'll be doing...

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

☺

[Melissa]

You ladies are cracking me up!

[Melissa]

I fear I need an intervention! I went into a flea market looking for a dresser and came out with 7 books that I bought just because the covers or titles looked/sounded interesting!

I don't even know what they are about!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

What does one do in a book intervention? Take all your books away?

[Melissa]

That sounds rather mean! Maybe just not let me shop anymore? I can live without shopping, surely?

I figure I have a few more books I can put on my stack before it falls on my head!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

lol @ Melissa. They are always mean on TV during those interventions. lol

[Abigail]

Melissa, I know what you mean. I've even had to stop myself from taking FREE books!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

But truthfully, can a person ever have too many books?

[Sunny☼]

If so, I haven't reached it yet.

[Melissa]

I decided I couldn't have enough and downloaded a bunch onto my kids Kindle!

Some for me and some for her!

[Heather L]

Too many books? No such thing--especially if you can still see the surface of any furniture, or can still walk through your home without knocking over a precarious pile. :D

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

They should build houses out of bookshelves!

[Abigail]

I can honestly say I have too many books. Sometime last year I had to sit and really look hard at what I had and determine if I was going to read a particular book in the next year. If the answer was no, I donated it somewhere.

It was hard. I felt like I was abandoning my children.

[Melissa]

Pamela(AllHoney) wrote: "They should build houses out of bookshelves!"

I saw a picture of a house where the room was all bookshelves, even the door!

There was another made out of books it kinda looked like a hobbit should live in it, it was cute!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

I feel your pain! I have a bunch I need to go through and I don't wanna!

[Abigail]

I just had to think they'll find better homes where someone will love them and care for them just as much as I did, and will get more pleasure out of them because they'd actually get READ!!!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

I've noticed GR is having problems with notifications. I only get a few and not all of them. So anyone who is replying to threads, please don't get upset if we don't reply back right away. We are not ignoring you ☺

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

After he passed away, it just killed me to take my husband's (ex-husband's, actually) college books to the library and donate them. They were very happy, though. Of course, I had to keep one. A really neat book on Latin (I'm a nurse...medical terminology and all...).

[Melissa]

My house burned down about 10 years ago and I remember being upset about the children's bible I had had since grade school and the series Outlander that I had that my grandmother had given me.

I have a new copy of the Outlander series but I have never been able to find a Bible like the one I had, not that it would have been the same.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Oh. So sad, Melissa.

[Abigail]

Wow, Melissa! That's awful!!

[Melissa]

It was a long time ago, but thanks!

Working on the kids homework, thankfully its something I know how to do today! lol

[Heather L]

Exactly! lol

I noticed the notification issue a week or two ago. I'd check email and only see a handful of notices, then come to the boards and be shocked by all the activity. I also remember when your notification "meter" here on the board used to count backwards as you checked new comments. Now the only way to clear it is to actually click on "notifications."
