Catching Up

Hello Ladies!
Just taking a moment to update my blog. Thanks to Lucie I found a wonderful new site that gives you FREE blog templates. They are so wonderful and so easy to install.
I hope your summer has been going great. I can't believe school will be starting next week. Wow-where has the time gone?!
As you know by now we will be having our Chick Lit Book Club meeting in September now instead of this month. I hope y'all are reading those books. You still have time to order them if you haven't.
I already have a long list of new books that are coming out in September that I am going to by. Some good ones too. I CAN'T wait to read them!
I hope the rest of your summer is great and you will all be at the resuming of our club meeting. We will make it special since we have been on a big break. See y'all there!
God bless everyone of you!

Life Happens

Hello my friends;
Well, July has sped by so fast. My little girl is already going back home to New York on Saturday. My heart is very heavy about that. But every visit is better than none at all.
My daughter Shelby will be due in September with her baby girl Faith Rene', and my daughter Ashley will be due in December with her son Jalen Marques. Wow! I am going to have so many grandkids and so fast! I don't know if my girls know what they are in for, but God planned each child and I am so excited for those little miracles that I am looking forward to loving them with all that I've got.
As for our Chick Lit Book Club. Lucie and I have decided to postpone a meeting until September. So for those of you who have not bought our current book, you still have time and won't miss out on anything. I for one, am glad as life has been so crazy for me that my reading has taken a back seat. I look forward to enjoying every page instead of racing through the book just to get it finished!
My Open Crop will be tomorrow night at 2227 Lee Ct. from 6-11:00. All are welcome! Just bring a snack to share! Time to get those photos into your albums! And have some great GIRLFRIEND time!

Enjoying the Little Things

Well, here we are already getting to the end of July. Can you believe it? Where does the time go?
I am loving the warm summer days we have been having. We have been blessed with so many. I also have been enjoying the reading of our Book of the Month for June (should have had it read by now, I know) The Measure of a Lady, it is so good. Then I have to hurry and start reading our other book Love Finds You in Last Chance California by Miralee Ferrell. I am really looking forward to that. We are supposed to have a speakerphone interview with her after we are done reading it. That will be fun! She is looking forward to talking to the ladies again. She loves our group!
My Open Crop is set for Friday July 31st from 6-11. Anyone is welcome. Come scrapbook with me and some other friends. Get those Rodeo Parade pictures on some cute pages, or the 4th of July photos scrapbooked too. We have lots of new stuff coming out.
I am just enjoying all the little activities this month has. Spending time with friends and family is always the best memory makers!!!
Gods special blessings to you all!
Deborah

Summer Fun

Wow! I can't believe it has been so long since I have updated my blog. I have never gone this long.
June has gone by so fast. Graduation for my 8th grade son! Can't believe it! We picked up our two kids, Matt and Tori from the Oakland Airport last weekend for their summer visit here with us. And this weekend Jeff's parents are here visiting from Los Angeles.
We have several activities planned already for this summer. Lots of fun! Our annual camping trip with the Buchert Family. I am so looking forward to that. With our kids getting older and changes taking place in our lives, you never know when we will get to have all the kids in one place like this, as it is we won't have Josh and Ashley with us.
We will be having our Chick Lit Book Club Meeting probably the 3rd weekend in July instead of the 2nd.
Lots of activity around our house, but I love every minute of it. I hope you all are enjoying the beginning days of your summer too. We have had some wonderful weather!!
God Bless you all!

Meeting to be held at 11:00-12:00. Barbeque to be after that with family warmly welcomed!
Lucie and I are so excited about this event. We hope you all are too.

OH! Happy! Day!

Hello ladies! I just wanted to share with you the good news. Those of you who know that we will be reading Miralee Ferrell's new book "Love Finds You in Last Chance California" for our Book of the Month in July, well, she has agreed to do a speakerphone interview with us in August after we read the book as well!!! OH HAPPY DAY!! She said to tell you ladies that she really enjoys speaking to all of you anyways!
I hope this gets you all excited! I really like to support Miralee-she is still newer than most of the authors that we read and has really given us some individual attention that is really rare. Lucie and I both receive emails from her quite often.
I know this book is a couple months away we still have two more books to read first...but I just wanted to share this bit of good news.
I hope you have already received your copies of a Seahorse in the Thames. I am enjoying it already.
Those of you who did not get the update, this is our Book of the Month for May-it has been on my blog for awhile. Our Book of the Month for June is called The Measure of a Lady written by Deanne Gist. So don't fall behind! Get your books now and join us for the fun!!!!
Blessings to you all!
Deborah

Hey Ladies!
I am so excited to share with you that I have been in touch with some of our favorite authors and they are willing to share more of their valuable time with us. Author of Chocolate Beach Julie Carobini has offered to have a speakerphone interview with us.!!!! She has a new book coming out called Sweet Waters, and she is already working on the follow-up book for it, it will be titled A Shore Thing. She was one of my favorites, I know some of you were not too thrilled ,but this new series sounds delicious!!! Plus getting the chance to talk to her would be bonus. Lucie and I are going to get things set up. It will be fun!
We also discoved a new author named Deborah Vogts her debut book is titled Snow Melts in Spring. I have spoken with her and she too has said she would be willing to do a speakerphone interview with you ladies!! This is the time to get excited!!!
Sure it is fun to read the book and discuss it, but even better when we can talk to the Person who wrote it!! Amazing!!!
Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend! This book Miss Invisible has been Laugh Out Loud Funny!!
Have a great rest of the week!
Deborah
