We leave in the morning on the 9 am flight back to Seattle. I’d thought I’d write today but instead I’ve spent my time cleaning, sorting, paying bills, and packing. I’ll be back in 6 weeks or so for our mid winter break but its still hard to leave. Everything in Hawaii is so much […]

Smiles
I’m in Hawaii and it’s pouring–buckets and buckets of rain, coming down for days. While I’m content to stay inside and read and write I know the tourists are all itching to get sun. When not writing I’ve been reading a fantastic Kresley Cole novel, and keeping an eager eye on the books in my […]
Christmas Cards & Games
It’s that time of year… and something I love getting… and enjoy sending…. Christmas cards! But there’s a little problem–although my cards have gone out to my readers, I’m getting quite a few back! Apparently I don’t have current addresses for some of you. (Or even a mail address at all!) Have you moved in […]
A Good Year
I’ve been making photo albums for my family of the past year and I’m short hundreds of photos from losing my camera twice (twice!?!) in the past year, but of the pictures I do have, I am reminded of what an incredible year it has been. The first six months of 2010 were really difficult […]
Easy About Africa
When I was a little girl I was given a membership to a record collection by Unicef with music from all over the world. I loved the international collection, and loved reading about the Peace Corp and missionaries and everything by Pearl S. Buck. I spent my junior year of high school living in South […]
A Grateful Heart
It’s a powdery white Thanksgiving morning here in Bellevue, Washington. Monday’s snow stuck and it’s been snowing steadily since I woke up three hours ago. Supposedly temperatures will rise to 40 later today so our snow might melt, but for now I savor the quiet white morning and think about all I have to be […]
NJ Readers Support Jane’s Charities
I’m posting pictures from last weekend’s events out of order because I thought my NJ readers who bought books and made donations to benefit World Vision and Operation Smile would be happy to hear that their efforts were multiplied due to a matching grant from a corporate donor. Thanks to all of you for your […]
Reader Dinners
My reader dinners have been the best thing I’ve done in terms of career in years. I LOVE meeting with my readers and having a chance to sit down and just relax and talk over a good meal. Why host my own dinners? For one, I love treating my loyal readers to a girls night […]
Halloween Fun & Games
Mac had so much fun trick or treating with his big brothers! It only took a couple houses before he got the hang of it. You walk, knock, wait and then take candy. The best houses were the houses with dogs. Then you walk, knock, wait and pet the doggie. There was some debate though […]
Brand New Reader Dinners Planned!
As you can tell from the picture below, I really really enjoy meeting my readers and sitting down and having a meal and a drink and just chatting. To me, nothing is more pleasurable than relaxing with friends over a good meal and that’s what I’m planning on doing as much as I can in […]
