Book Beginnings and Friday 56- Jan. 19 -

-

 Good morning readers! Welcome to my Friday post where I link with Gilion at Rose City Reader to share in the Book Beginnings challenge. To go along with this, I also link with Anne over at My Head Is Full Of Books to participate in the Friday 56 Challenge. 


This week I am reading Lonestar Secrets by Colleen Coble. You can purchase the book here, if you would like to read it. ( I use the money I make from the Amazon affiliate program to purchase feed and other supplies for the animals we raise here. Any small purchase is a help.)


" Miles of empty road stretched ahead of her." This opening line could lead the story anywhere I guess, but Colleen does a great job with working it into a magnificent story. 


Friday 56

RULES:

*Grab a book, any book
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader
(If you want to improvise, go ahead!)
*Find a snippet, but no spoilers!

" She cringed at the thought of telling Jack about Tucker. There were enough wrinkles in this problem without the man adding another one."

It seems that Shannon's new life may be full of surprises and possibly a few people that she would rather never see again.

    I like the author C. Coble and haven't read her books in awhile. I've been reading mysteries but need something lighter this weekend. Thanks for the review!

    I have not read anything by her in a very long time. Have a great weekend 😊

    Something about the cover woman's eyes. Hmm...they look a little 'devilish' to me. I bet that was unintentional.

      I just noticed that the woman pictured on here is not the same picture on my book. It is the same person, but she is wearing a cowboy hat on the cover of my book

    This sounds like a good one! I haven't read anything by Colleen Coble, but hopefully someday! Have a great weekend!

A Grandson

 As I was looking through my posts today, I see that I have failed my readers. Many of you were aware that my other daughter was pregnant and going to deliver in July, I am sure those of you that knew are wondering why I never posted about that and I must say that life has just gotten in the way, and I thought that I had written a post. Since I know I did not, I will now! He came when Mamaw was out of town! Can you believe that? He actually had the nerve to do something so ridiculous as to come while I was at the Pink Zebra reunion (our annual conference). I was with four of my best friends when we got the announcement that he was here! I was so happy that I was able to share that news with them before anyone else. Of course, the leaders of the company were there and anxious to hear how she was doing as well.  Deliver went fairly smooth, but she was in labor for quite a while. I am not sure on hours, but I think about 6 hours. There were some issues with my daughter following delivery

Something is Falling From The Sky

 Yesterday and today have been very cool days here on the farm and I must say that something that we don't recognize has been falling from the sky. It is wet and seems to be hanging around. IT is certainly what the ground needed as it seems to have soaked it up almost immediately. Rain, glorious rain!! The ducks are loving their pool and the rain, but I truly don't think that they are liking the cooler temperatures so much. I know I am not. I don't mind cool, but wearing my sweatshirt in June is not fun.  The white turkeys are enjoying the coop that my husband put together for them. We have 5 of them and two others. We won't be keeping all of the toms as we have too many.  Nesting boxes made of milk crates that we had lying around work well attached to the back wall.  Here is Tom. He is such a great boy, but he likes to show off. He gets along well with the chickens.  These are my Old English chickens. I like them as they are small and will never get much bigger. I actu

Happy Homemaker Monday - 1/8/24

 Hello! Welcome to my first Happy Homemaker Monday post for 2024. I am happy to join Sandra at  Diary of A Stay At Home Mom  to participate in this series. How has everyone's Monday morning been so far? Mine is slow as most Mondays, but I will be busy later. I really need to work on my direct sales business and get my inventory done for the year. Taxes will be soon and I need that information.  The Weather: The weather is predicted to be a little unsettled this week with periods of rain and snow throughout the week. Daytime highs in the 30's and 40's, which is a bit above average with lows in the upper 20's and lower 30's. Not too bad for this time of the year. I hate the rain as it just makes the farm a muddy, sloppy mess.  Right Now I Am: Sitting at my desk listening to the news and writing this post. My daughter just came over for coffee and to chat a bit.  Thinking and Pondering: What I will get accomplished this week and where I want to start for chores. I am t
