I have no idea why my book is on sale for nine dollars and two – yes TWO – pennies, but there it is if you need a book for 2020.

The short summary? Evie Lindsay owns a bookstore on an island and has premonitions. Unfortunately, her premonitions never told her what a DNA test will reveal…

Annual Christmas “house” decorating with the Lamb Fam – Me, Innocent Husband, Rebel Dancing Daughter, Darling Laughing Son, and Adventurous Singing Daughter plus Brother The Firefighter, Wendi Smiles, and Nephew Noah.

As you can see, we’re a little non-traditional. The titles/explanation of each “Christmas” house from each person is below. Maybe match them with the photos if you have nothing else to do or are drinking a lot of wine…

1) The Tower of Babel, climbed by brave gummy bears.

2) Yellow Temple of the Rejects.

3) It’s not Noah’s Ark. It’s “Noah’s Submarine.” Who knew that Noah built a submarine?

4) The Pantheon. A quick message from Wendy Smiles, “Please note that I used no glue. Should I get an award for that? The no-glue award, maybe?”

5) A pit of hell surrounded by the Seven Deadly Sins, which sparked many discussions about those sins. The artist used snakes for obvious reasons.

6) Three wise men and a little salmon. (Built by Innocent Husband, of course. I think he was hungry.)

7) Mars. Where we will live soon because there are actually people out there who do not believe in global warming, despite all scientific evidence pointing to the fact that we are melting.

8) Worm Gladiator Fight. You didn’t know that worms fought?

Don’t other families do stuff like this?

Happy New Year to all!

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

I love writing these short stories.

If I could write them all the time, I’d sit down with Mrs. Claus and scribble them out.

A Very Merry Christmas is set in Helena, Montana. Meredith owns a bed and breakfast and is raising her niece and nephew as her irresponsible sister has decided to run off and “find herself.” Meredith is also in charge of the town’s pageant and dealing with quirky neighbors. A little love, a little healing, and a LOT of Christmas celebration in this one.

Less than seven dollars. Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Very-Merry-Chr...

To all who celebrate….

If you need a book to get you through the holidays…Happy reading, happy eating, happy celebrating.

I don’t like to cook, but I do really like to eat.

Here’s a picture recipe – did I just make that phrase up? – of Taco Soup. If you’ve seen a recipe pretty close to, or exactly, like this recipe below, yep, I stole it. It’s a mix of a recipe from my funny Montana sister/a principal I used to teach for/online.

Definitely cook the meat and saute the onions, then everything goes into the crock pot for an hour or two. The can on the left is diced tomatoes.

You can also use shredded chicken. You may not need the full onion. Taco soup tastes best with shredded cheese, avocado slices, chips, and sour cream when you serve it.

Happy eating to all.

I loved writing these short, sweet Christmas stories.

Happy Holidays everyone.

I am cooking a turkey, therefore I am ready.

I shall not be caught off guard again by bad turkeys that catch themselves on fire.

I made popcorn for nutritional purposes.

I picked up my kindle to read a book in front of the fireplace.

I picked up the salt to shake over my popcorn.

I salted my kindle.

It is moments like these when I really wonder what’s going on in my brain or if it is even functioning normally anymore.

Has anyone else salted their kindle? No?
