Happy Easter

On Friday Ty and I took some time out for ourselves and drove to Skagit Valley to see the tulips and have lunch in La Conner.  All the tulips were already gone except for a few fields but we had a great time just driving and chilling in Ty’s classic Chevy truck.  It was fun to go for a drive, especially as Friday and Saturday were beautiful with blue skies.

Today isn’t a blue sky day but the kids still had an Easter Egg hunt in the light drizzle and are now stuffed full of chocolate and candy and its not even noon yet!  We’re heading to a brunch at Bellevue Club a little later…have never been there for a holiday brunch before and am hoping Mac will keep it together long enough for us all to eat.

I so appreciate everyone’s love and words of support these past few days.  Ty really appreciates it, too, and is grateful his mom had lots of adventures and love in her life.

Tell me about your week.  What are you doing today and/or this weekend?  I’d love to catch up and have some gift cards for one lucky reader, too.  The prize is $15 B&N gift card, a $10 Starbucks card plus a signed book from my back list as well as some fun Jane Porter goodies and chocolate treats from the Easter bunny!  Contest runs through Tuesday night and I’ll announce the winner Wednesday morning.

But picking a winner isn’t the only thing on my to-do list this week.  I’ve got a busy week coming up…a week with three events between now and Friday.  Two private auction parties to attend and a girls night out Friday.  If you live in Western Washington and would love a fun night out with friends, come join me for Wine & Women in Woodinville: An Evening in the Chateau Wine Shop at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery.  The event is from 5-8 pm and I’ll be there signing books with other cool women and sipping yummy wine, too. Interested?  There are more details on my Events page or call the winery (425) 488-1133 to find out more. I’d so love to see some of my readers and friends there so grab your girlfriends, your book club, your bunco club, or your wine tasting group and come hang out!!

I hope your Easter Sunday is filled with family and friends.  Sending you love and hope to see you soon!
