Summertime

I like how some of my friends in the UK call Summertime the silly season; it makes me smile. I imagine people having time to go to the park, with kids swinging and spinning around on the merry-go-round. Summer is a time for friends and family to slow down and enjoy life. I hope that is your summer as well. Summer for me is working in the garden and watching the flowers grow, and the bees buzzing around collecting their nectar. I enjoy the birds at our various feeders tweeting and enjoying the bird's seeds. The squirrels appear and look for all the bird seeds that landed on the ground. All the beauty of Summertime leads to creative story ideas! Stay tuned!

Boomer Reader

love it when a parent sends me a picture of their child enjoying Boomer. It makes my heart sing. Thank you, parents; I love hearing from you.

I bet you did not know....

I enjoy making fun birthday cakes. My grandson and I had fun making a Dinosaur Cake.

It's a Hot Summer and Sizzling Productivity!

It is a sweltering summer in the States. The heat would get me down, but having my new children's book "Boomer and the Curious Bunny" now available on Kindle and hard and soft copies! You can purchase the book at the following locations. CLICK HERE

Boomer The Curious Bunny

The Piece Quilters

These amazing women quilt in the basement of a church, so they named their group "The Piece Quilters" since they were in the house of worship; quite clever. Plus, it fits with their mission; they raise funds for needy people. They also make quilts as a gift for each first responder in their community a quilt. If someone needs a warm blanket, they respond to those in need. It was a blessing to meet these women, and of course, I had to purchase some quilts. They are in Dow City, Iowa, if you want to buy a quilt from them.

Happy Birthday

I am blessed with three wonderful children, and I would like to take this opportunity to wish one of my grown children a happy birthday!

A Month of Interviews!

It is exciting to have had the opportunity to be on several podcasts this month and write an article for a magazine. When I think back to when I first started to where I am now, I am deeply honored.

The interviews, articles, and letters from you let me know I am where I am supposed to be in this chapter of my life. I hope you enjoy this newsletter and all the links to the interviews and articles. Check out the News regarding my next book and my new awards.

Happy Father's Day!

Last month we celebrated our moms, and now it is time to celebrate the men in our life. I am blessed to have had a loving, hard-working dad George Mural Floyd was a self-made man, as most depression and WWII vets are. he showed us that it takes a can-do attitude, patience, willingness to learn, and, most importantly, Faith that God will provide. My children will tell you their dad is the best! I could write a book about all of his qualities. My kiddos are very lucky to have him for their dad.
