Life As I Know It….

I started to leave this blank. LOL The older I get, the less I know about life! :lol:

Our son graduated from UNT on Saturday. I cried. I always do. His sister cried (takes after me) and his wife cried (she soooo fits in). He’s been through a lot and deserves all the happiness that comes his way. Our daughter and her children were there, too. Her hubby was on assignment and couldn’t make it, missed him!, but we had a fabulous time. It was exactly what families should be all about. Definitely a Hallmark weekend.

Then I came home to a message on the answering machine that Close Encounters of the Sexy Kind is a finalist in the Booksellers Best. That is just soooo cool! Many thanks to all the judges!

Temperature’s Rising, my Brava reissue into mass market will be out in a few weeks. Woo-hoo. I love that book! And have you seen the cover? Verrrry hot!

Okay, I’m off to the dentist this morning so y’all be good! Okay, you don’t have to be. Oh, hey, y’all want to have a contest? Just say hi and I’ll enter your name into a drawing for a copy of I’m Your Santa or Southern Comfort. One winner—your choice of books. Already have them?—they make great presents. All contest rules apply—must me 18 or older…. One entry per household please. And watch for more contests coming soon for my newsletter group (you can join at my website).

    Hi Karen…

    My hubby just graduated from college on Friday. Great day for all of us!!! Especially since we are more of the nontraditional student type (meaning 35 and 36 years old - grin)

    Definitely congrats on the nomination…

    Thanks for all the congrats on the nomination, and our son graduating. Actually, he’s 35 so not at all the norm either :grin: He got sidetracked a few times. Life does that sometimes.
