Holiday Post

  Next New Blog - January 6, 2024

 

Featured book first this week . . . a Christmas love story guaranteed to bring tears to all the non-Scrooges out there. (A novella, originally written for a Christmas anthology.)

After suffering social disaster at her very first ball—severely aggravated by the horror of an unfeeling family—Miss Pamela Ashburton hides herself in the country, expecting to live out her life as a spinster. Major Will Forsythe, injured in body and spirit at Waterloo, comes to the country to escape the concern of well-meaning relatives. Privacy, peace and quiet—that's all he wants. Until he meets a holiday sprite in search of mistletoe. And the Christmas spirit, in the form of a cluster of white berries, gives them both a second chance.

Really loved hearing all those classic Christmas songs!

And seventeen hours later - Saturday afternoon - Susie directed the Girl Scout Citrus Singers in the National Anthem at a Cure Bowl plagued by a chill, all-day downpour.
