Finally…
Friday Fragments are bits and pieces of your week that are usually brief; too short for a stand-alone post, but too good to discard. Collect humorous observations, “Heard” items, other small gems and put them together in a Friday Fragments post. Then leave a link to your Friday Fragments post and link back to our host Mrs. 4444 at Half-Past Kissin’ Time.
It’s not too late to join in on the fun and we would love to have you!
Finally! The weather is a perfect 72 degrees, this morning. It feels like spring.
My granddaughter, Adriana Jean is 6-years-old today. She has brought so much joy and fun into our family. Six is so grown-up but she will always be the baby in her family. Her big brother Dominic will be 13 in two-weeks and her sister Allyson will be 20 in September. OMGoodness I am going to have a 20-year-old granddaughter, yikes!
She lost her first baby tooth and was thrilled to find dollars under her pillow. I like her tooth fairy. Mine left a nickel and a pack of Trident.
I finally received the mock-up of the book cover for The Stranger in My Recliner. It is growing on me. Now I am anxiously waiting on the release date. I cannot wait to share Sophie’s story with everyone. What do you think of the cover?
What is going on in Texas? I have been praying for my friends and relatives who are dealing with flooding and no power and it is still raining. My uncle who lives in Texas had a 20-pound-racoon fall through his roof at 4:00 this morning. I hope his week gets better, he needs some sun.
Two weeks from today is finally the start of the Philadelphia Writer’s Conference. I haven’t attended for a few years now so I am really looking forward to listening and learning but most importantly I am looking forward to hanging out with some of my favorite writers. So excited!
And one week after that is finally our annual family beach vacation.
Of course I am hoping, finally for some kind of good news from the surgeon I am seeing on Tuesday about my pelvic congestion. I am praying for a non-invasive fix. I don’t want to miss the conference or the beach. Please think good thoughts for me.
TV has been pretty boring this week. I have new guilty pleasures. Married-The First Year-ended last week and one of the couples said they won’t be backL. ‘Arranged’ is a strange one but I am fascinated by the craziness and Married at First Sight has me hooked too. I am really rooting for these couples. These two are ending next week but Sunday is finally the season premiere of Halt and Catch Fire. This show kind of picks up where, Mad Men left off. It took a couple of episodes to get hooked but I love it now.
I am finally, back to working on book #3, The Father’s Pain. This one may be my last nonfiction for awhile. I am looking forward to making some stuff upJ
This weekend will finally be quiet for us. We need to rest-up. What are you up to?
Have a blessed weekend,
Doreen
I love the cover of your new book.
Your granddaughter is precious 🙂 I know what you mean, the tooth fairy is a lot more generous, these days…
I pray you get relief from your medical issue, soon–and that you don’t miss any of your planned trips.
Have a nice weekend!
Thank you Kathy!
Your book jacket is fantastic! Can’t wait to read the book. I love that picture of your granddaughter – so cute. Glad the tooth fairy took care of her 🙂
Thank you Lois. I cannot wait to hold that cover in real life:)
Love the book cover. It speaks to me … and probably many more peeps. Super happy for you.
Thank you Tammy!
Like the cover of The Stranger in My Recliner. You say it’s “growing on you.” – so you’re not in love with it? I think it’s very thought provoking…
Thank you Kimba. I am so in love with the cover now.
A lot is happening. I too, am looking forward to PWC and eeting up with you and all the other writers. Love the cover of “Stranger.” Best of luck with it.
Thank you so much Toni! See you soon.
Thinking good thoughts about your doctor visit. I hope it all goes well.
Thank you. I am so nervous.
I was just watching the latest reports from Texas I can’t believe the weather they are dealing with. I’ve been sick this week so haven’t gotten much accomplished. I hate when I get off it takes me forever to get back to where I was. It doesn’t take long to get unorganized and that stresses me out. I hope your health is much improved!
Thank you Rena. I am trying so hard not to get to that disorganized place:)
Here in Texas we are coming out of a terrible drought by having torrential, never ending storms. I’m in Dallas, and we are not as bad off as Houston, that is for sure, but I am longing for some sunshine!
I hope sunshine is on the way!
Hi. I’m doing great. The school year is ending and summer had it’s own kind of busyness. Love your cover. Anxiously awaiting your book.
Thank you Mary.
Your granddaughter is adorable! The toothing fairy is keeping up with the times. I received a silver quarter each time I lost a tooth, then my dad would come up to me the next day and tell me the silver ones were no good to buy items with and I should trade it with him for the ones the grocery stores take. Oh how I miss my dad! I’m loving your book cover!
Awww. I am missing my dad so much too.
