Christmas Lost quote

 

Thanks to Donna Keevers Driver for creating this.

Christmas is coming.

Celebrate with a story: 

Christmas Present

The eighth novella in the series.

Welcome back to Holiday, USA, small town America, where nothing happens, except holidays... and a little romance, if the hero and heroine trust God.

Terra Connor is looking forward to her first two-week vacation, even if it means working part of the time to ease her daughter's mind. Her daughter's wedding on Christmas Eve is her only priority, and she definitely doesn't have time for romance.

Carson McDonald is in Holiday for his younger brother's wedding. The friendly town is as good a place as any to rest and recover from the upheaval of losing his job due to an accident. He has enough on his plate for the foreseeable future.

God's ways are not man's ways...

TBR 2024

151. The Danger with Diamonds (Falcon Point series Book 1) by Traci Hunter Abramson and Sian Ann Bessey suspense romance. A tie-in to Abramson's Guardian series. Page-turner! Tough to put down, even when desperate for sleep. 

152. From an Unknown Sender (Falcon Point series Book 2) by Traci Hunter Abramson and Sian Ann Bessey suspense romance. Yes, I lost sleep because I couldn't put it down. 

153. When Fashion Turns Deadly (Falcon Point series Book 3) by Traci Hunter Abramson and Sian Ann Bessey suspense romance. A fascinating dive into the world of modeling and fashion design with theft and murder thrown in for a little more tension. The newest addition in the Falcon Point series. 

154. Cowboy Daddy, Jingle-Bell Baby by Linda Goodnight romance. A sweet story I enjoy every year.

155. Christmas Cinderella (A Sprinkling of Christmas Magic anthology) by Elizabeth Rolls Regency romance novella. This is a follow up to Rolls' story A Soldier's Tale. Yes, I read them out of order, only because A Soldier's Tale is one of my favorites and I save it. The last few pages aren't necessary to the story but give the requisite bedroom scene for this particular genre and publisher.

Walked to the post office a couple times. Increased my physical therapy. Did not do as well with eating. It didn't help that I made fudge, a weakness. LOL! Sleeping hasn't been great with nightmares almost every night. I don't know what's up with that. 

Thank Goodness It's Sunday

REAL 2024 Dec 2

I'm increasing my physical therapy, doing more leg lifts to help my knees, and walking more. It feels good. Another walker complimented me on my T-shirt: Working to restore God's original factory settings. LOL! I think I'm sleeping better. I'm eating better now that I'm trying to cut out highly processed food, and I think it's helping. Time will tell.
