One would think that after planning three high school graduation parties within four years, I’d pretty much be an expert. Know what? I think I am. I have it down to a science–too bad (well, not really) this is our last graduate. The best advice I have is to Keep It Simple, Sweetheart. I’ve already purchased the basics: tableware, napkins, …
Abundantly Blessed!
Going into my book launch last Thursday, I had no idea what to expect. Would anyone show up? Would they purchase books? My daughter only had a couple days to practice the music, and really only 15 minutes with the pianist (because we left the keyboard cord at home and my husband had to rush home to get it!)–would that …

Novel Anticipation, May 2014
ALL MY BELONGINGS by Cynthia Ruchti (Abingdon Press) – Cynthia has fast become one of my favorite authors. She’s not only gifted as a page-turning storyteller, but her prose sings beautiful music! Jayne Dennagee has spent her life running from the “doctor death” legacy of her father. His Kervorkian-copycat methods of euthanasia ruined her childhood, covering it in shame. She won’t …
Update Monday!
Good morning! It’s been a crazy-busy past two weeks, what with attending my daughter’s senior recital (she was fabulous!), then her final college choir concert (very evocative), and then her college graduation (sniff) on Saturday–it seems she just went off to college a year ago! Insert in the middle of that, celebrating the birth of Chain of Mercy. But no …
