Sunday is All or Nothing Day.

Celebrate with a story. 

All or Nothing 

The tenth 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.

Secrets? Angela Goodrich owns a few. Moving to Holiday is her dream come true. As Holiday Sweets' new manager, she wants a fresh start even as she wants to share the truth of who she is. Will she still be welcomed?

Anger issues? Caleb Bronson denies it despite the fact he'd like to throttle his EMT partner's new fiancé for wronging his sister. What does it matter if his anger is dominating his life and spills over on the attractive and newest resident of Holiday?

The truth will set you free, if you're willing to endure the discomfort of letting go of the lies. God knows the pain hidden in the soul anyway...

Quote from All or Nothing

All or Nothing Day is on the 26th.

Thanks to Donna Keevers Driver for creating this:

 

Go to Medieval Times

If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend the adventure. It was so much fun. The Andalusian horses were gorgeous. Dinner and a show. Dinner is served without silverware, so you're eating with your fingers. Garlic bread and tomato bisque, roast chicken, corn on the cob, roasted potato, and an eclair. I chose lemonade. They do provide wet towelettes at the end. Six knights, three fight for the king and three fight for the queen. I was on the king's side. Each section cheers for a specific knight. I was seated in Black and White. The knight also happened to be my friend's youngest son. Awesome. Falconry, dressage, an 8-horse cavalry. The competition between the knights ranged from lancing rings to throwing spears from horseback into a target, jousting, and fighting with medieval weaponry. The splinting of the wood on shields during the jousting was startling. The sparks flying during the sword fighting was amazing. We laughed, booed, cheered, and had a fantastic time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Brain Dump

More than half way through July, already. It's been a relatively cool summer compared to the last few. Blessedly, the "normal" monsoon is back. Thanks God for watering my outdoor plants for me.

REAL 13 July 2026

Not many walks; too hot. Better at doing PT. Eating better, I think. Sleep is as good as can be expected; not waking up worried about monsters first thing. The worry comes but is less and shorter terms; learning to turn it over to God. Yard work done, trimming pygmy palms, lantana, oleander, and Chicklet orange trumpet bush. Thanks God for all the help.

Brain Dump

Watched Meet the Press without sound. The interviewer was looking for a fight; her body language screamed aggression, contention, and anger. Not a pretty look and nowhere in the vicinity of professional. If you, as an interviewer for a supposed news show, are unable to control your emotions and rein in your personal opinions, you are in the wrong business. Unless you really want to go into acting, and this gig is just a stepping stone to doing drama on a show that's honest about being fictional.
