Yes, I Have Another Life Besides Writing and Promoting

We had a graduation party for our Bible study class which began with a great Chinese dinner! Afterwards we played games. These two lucky ladies were searching for three cherries hidden in a pile of whipped cream. When you study the Bible for a period of time with the same group of women, you really do get to know one another and create a bond.

By now, anyone who has been reading my blog regularly knows that I have a big family--and also an extended family of friends.

Recently hubby and I attended a baby shower for one of my grandsons and his hopefully to-be-wife's baby. It was a huge shower with many members of our family, lots of friends, and the mother-to-be's even bigger family than ours. It was held at a huge pavilion in a park. That same day I attended a church council meeting, a have-to because I'm the church clerk and must take minutes of all official meetings. I'm also the one who types and editsi the Pastor's Pen that is included in every Sunday's church bulletin. Every Sunday that I'm home I teach Sunday School to 3rd- 6th grade and of course, attend the church service afterwards. We usually go out to eat somewhere after church and often take some family members with us.

I'm hoping to squeeze in a haircut this week and also have a foot doctor appointment. I usually go to town once a week to grocery shop and do some errands.

I'll be attending a meeting of the board of CRSA which is an association for Administrators of residential care. Something I did for over 23 years. I still write and edit their monthly newsletter so that's why I have to go. When I come home I'll finish the newsletter, which I've already started and I have to take it to the printers to be put together and mailed.

We'll be going to a great grandson's graduation from high school, and his sister's graduation from middle school. I have a Sunday School teacher's meeting to attend, and in June hubby and I are traveling with daughter and her hubby in their motor home to Sedona AZ. We're camping and sightseeing, but I must confess that I'm doing two speaking events while I'm there.

When we get back to California, we're going to celebrate a granddaughter's graduation. Even though all this is going on, I'll be squeezing in some writing time and you'll see me on Facebook and Twitter.

It's not always easy to squeeze in the writing, but I let a lot of things go that I used to always do.

Remember, the person who comments on the most posts on my blog tour will win a copy of the three books that come before No Bells . No Sanctuary is the story of two ministers, two churches, two wives and one murder. Officer Stacey Wilbur and Detective Doug Milligan are a couple in this one despite Stacey's vow not to date anyone on the Rocky Bluff P.D. This is also where she begins her career as the vice officer for the department. An Axe To Grind is about a stalker who loses his head. When Detective Doug Milligan strikes out on his own to investigate a suspect, he disappears.  A distraught Stacey follows his trail. In Angel Lost as plans for her perfect wedding fill her mind, Officer Stacey Wilbur is sent out to trap a flasher. The new hire realizes Rocky Bluff P.D. is not the answer to his problem.

Meet Morgen Bailey from the UK

Like I do with many folks, I met Morgen through the Internet when I learned about the great interviews she does. I thought it would be fun to turn the tables on Morgen and find out something things about her, so here goes: Morgen, except for the fact that you do terrific interviews I know very little about you. So here goes with my battery of questions. First, tell me something about your background, including where you live. Thank you Marilyn. I live in Middle England really; Northampton. About as far away from water as you can get (3 hours) which I don’t quite understand as I love water; every picture (actually subconsciously until a friend pointed it out) in my house contains water. I’m one of two siblings, I have an older brother who’s an IT project Manager and lives in Zurich, Switzerland so I see him 2-3 times a year (birthdays, Christmas; the latter spent in my mum’s kitchen / diner with opposing laptops). My father died September 2011 so she potters while my brother an

Today is My Birthday!

I never thought I'd live this long! The last few years, birthday celebrations have usually been a nice dinner out in a restaurant. Hard to do these days. Sometimes cake and ice cream is how we celebrate. This year my granddaughter, Melissa, is doing something special. She's taking her grandpa and me to a place about 1 1/2 hours away for lunch, called The Secret Garden. I've not only never been there, but I've never heard of it. I took a peek on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful place to celebrate most anything. Yes, I'm excited. I'll take pictures and report on it when I get back. Melissa is special. Everyone loves here, young and old alike. I was in the delivery room when she was born--exciting and wonderous. I babysat her many times until her mom and dad moved to Central California. (We live there now. When she was a teen, she came with me when I took the women in my care home to church camp, and was an unbelievable help. I couldn&
