The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us. (Ashley Montagu) I’ve done these mystery photo games several times now. I’m always surprised by your guesses. Sometimes I’m surprised that you all come up with right guesses. Other times I’m surprised that nobody or at least very …
“If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the imagination is worth a thousand pictures.” ― J.E.B. Spredemann Are you ready for another mystery picture? Got your thinking caps on? Ready to laugh because this one is so easy or ready to squint your eyes for a better look because it is anything but easy? Well, whether you said …
I’m giving away some books. Well, actually this book. To ten people. I had a lapse of memory and bought an extra box of Love Comes Home when I already had a box of the books. It’s a Rosey Corner book but it stands just fine on its own if you haven’t read the other Rosey Corner books, Angel Sister …

Have you been to my little town of Hidden Springs where Deputy Sheriff Michael Keane tries to keep the peace? It’s a sleepy little town that might remind you of other small towns you’ve known. The kind of place where everybody knows everybody and people sit around on front porches and share stories. Sometimes about themselves or their families and …
