Resort Wear 2012?

Aren't we just in the middle of summer 2011?  It always amazes me how ahead of the game the designers always are.  Take a look at these gorgeous photos of what's to come for next year.

What do you think?  Excited?  I want to say thank you to my darling friends Meg, Michelle, Allison, and LeeAnn for filling in for me while I was gone.  I spent some time with my family in Red Bluff, CA and had a blast.  Here's some pics.  Aren't they adorable?

Hope you had a great weekend!!!

Bull Riders, Blackjack, and Novel News!

Happy Sunday friends!  Hope you're having a great weekend.  I was a little MIA yesterday from blogging/twitter because I spent the day with my brother and sister-in-law at the PBR (Professional Bull Riders Association) event at Pala Casino in Temecula, CA.  It was so much fun and the weather was absolutely gorgeous!

After we watched the event, we headed over to the casino where I did not fare too well on blackjack.  I hate losing.  But at least I got a cute hat and got to look at some cowboys so all was good.  

(Seriously why were all 3 of these guys dressed exactly the same, boots, belts, shirts, jeans?)

We finished out the day by stopping at Chronic Tacos in Dana Point.  It was a little cold, but the food and atmosphere was great.  I feel so truly blessed to have such a great relationship with my brother and sister-in-law.  I'm so happy they moved back from Ohio and we can spend more time together.  Yesterday was a blast and I can't wait to share more of them.  What did you do?

Great news!!!  My novel is now available in paperback on Create Space!  If you want to get a copy of Murder on the Boulevard, you can order here immediately, or you will have to wait a week or so to get it on Amazon.  Why wait?  Go get a copy now!  I'm dying to hear what you think!  Have a great day friends!
