Just Discovered Another Good Author

Hey Ladies-I was entering another contest-which I do on a daily basis now-thanks to my wonderful friend Lucie, I am now hooked. But it has paid off, I have won 2 great books now. I hope to win more. It gives me the opportunity to find new authors that I may not have heard about otherwise. So recently I was entering a contest on one of the sites and came across this book that sounds really good-I thought I would include a little detail about it so you could check it out for yourself. We may review it sometime you never know. Let me know if it interests you. I guess it is the 2nd book by Christa Parrish-her first one was titled "Daisy Chain". So here is some details about "Watch Over Me" "Her rescue might be the miracle they needed, things like this don't happen in Beck County. Deputy Benjamin Patil is the one to find the infant baby girl, abandoned in a field. As police work to identify the mother, Ben and his wife, Abbi, seem like the obvious couple to serve as foster parents. But the newborn's arrival open old wounds for Abbi and shines a harsh light on how much Ben has changed since a devastaing military tour. Their marriage teeters on the brink and now they must choose to reclaim what they once had or lose eachother forever."
Okay, I have entered the contest to win a copy of this book-I will let you know if I get it! I will keep posting about other good books I hear about. And great authors.
Have a great day everyone!

New Book Choices

Hello ladies! We had a really good meeting today. Discussing the books we have read and choosing the ones for the next couple of months.
We made some choices that I think everyone will enjoy. The books range from suspense to ones that will tug at your heartstrings. And in getting with the spirit of season, we have picked a couple that we will read leading into the Christmas Season.
Feel free to keep reading other books ladies. And get your reviews to Lucie so we can vote on others for the New Year that is just around the corner.
So for October the book choice is Distant Echoes by Colleen Coble, November is Sound of Sleighbells by Cindy Woodsmall, December we will be reading Cowboy Christmas by Mary Connealy. All of these authors are really talented. It is so fun to dive into a new book-just like starting a new adventure. So enjoy ladies!
God's sweet blessings* Deborah

God is Good Through it All

But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me.
~ Psalm 13:5, NLT

That is the scripture for today, and boy was it appropriate. I know that no matter what happens in my life that God has things under control and I have to trust Him. That is all that matters.
It has been tough too, car trouble, finances are tough, but on the plus side I have so many blessings in my life, much more than the negative things that satan tries to throw at me daily. God is my strength and my shield and with Him guiding my day, I can survive anything.
I hope I have encouraged you a little with this nibble from my life.
I pray that your week goes well, we have a three-day weekend to look forward to. YEY!!! Time spent with family and friends always makes me happy. And when I can get things accomplished around my wonderful home I also feel so satisfied.
I hope you enjoy your weekend, whatever you will be doing-or if you are just relaxing. May God bless your life sweetly.
Deborah

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!
Deborah

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!
Blessings**Deborah

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!
Deborah
