REAL 2025 Jan 6

Taking longer walks more often. Oops, twisted my knee so had to take it easy for a few days; blessedly, easy walks and leg lifts helped to quickly restore normal movement but took longer for the pain to go away. In fact, still experiencing some pain so not back to normal walking yet. Eating healthy was a little tougher with the holidays, but I did better this year than ever before. Always improving. Sleep is erratic.

Thank Goodness It's Sunday

Brain Dump

I'm baffled as to why anyone with a shred of decency would support, in any way, a company like Abercrombie that supported and promoted abusing children. By the world's standard, it may have been subtle to the untrained eye, but once a person knows, how do you justify rewarding them by buying their product? Reward only encourages continued abuse. Pretending like it's stopped because the head violator has been arrested is naive at best and willful ignorance at worst. But then, plenty of people still support what they love about Disney and ignore the evil Disney openly supports. 

The new year is here.

Celebrate with a story: Happy New Year?

The first book in the series.

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

Officer Tim Black moved to Holiday for a change of scene. He never anticipated wanting to change his single status at the same time, but the lady refuses to even date him.

Sandy Foster moved to Holiday to escape her dysfunctional family, changing everything about her life. Finding someone who wanted to share her life holds a never-ending spot on her uninspiring list of New Year's resolutions.

The tiniest misunderstanding and the willingness to set pride aside might make the difference between spending the New Year alone and a Happily Ever After...

TBR 2024

156. A Soldier's Tale by Elizabeth Rolls Regency romance novella. Annual Christmas story reads.

157. Under the Mistletoe by Mary Balogh Regency romance. A collection of five novellas set at Christmas time. My favorite is "The Best Gift."

158. Sunshine for Christmas by Mary Jo Putney Regency romance novella. 

159. Christmas Wishes by Barbara Metzger Regency romance. 

160. A Stockingful of Joy by stories by Mary Jo Putney and Justine Dare Christmas Regency and Western romance novellas.

161. Christmas Secrets by Donna Hatch Regency sweet romance. Donna gives a lovely escape into Regency Christmas, acknowledging that Christmas was usually a Holy Day with attendance at church but some of the wealthier homes celebrated with traditions. Enjoyable.

162. Chance series by Traci Hunter Abramson romance. I wanted to read some old favorites before the end of the year. 

2024 Merry Christmas!

Jesus isn't only the reason for the season. He is the reason for every single day of life. His birth is the beginning of the end of the adversary's plan to enslave mankind. God is good, all the time. 

Ready for Christmas?

 Celebrate with a story.

Christmas Lost

The twelfth 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.

Townie Karen Little is the resident quintessential spinster. She's lived in the same house her whole life, more than half a century. She knows she's stuck, but her plans for the future blow up in her face, on a regular basis. Why risk being wrong again?

After six years, Holiday Diner's owner, Alexander Hamilton, is still a newbie and Holiday's most eligible silver fox bachelor. Being the catch of the day for the single women of Holiday makes his vow to never marry again a challenge. Why test the three strikes you're out rule?

Sometimes, so much time passes, it feels like God has forgotten, but He is moving all the pieces into place for the right moment... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BHC1CL9/ref=sr_1_1 

If you prefer paperback, Holiday, USA Anthology 2016-17
