We love traveling to literary places. Way back in the spring, before we knew all the challenges we would face this year, Jeff scheduled our vacation to Prince Edward Island. He picked it for two reasons: First, it would be cooler temperatures than Texas, and second, he knew how much I've wanted to go there, for I love all things L.M. Montgomery. What we didn’t realize was that it would be the … [Read more...]

Crazy Days of Summer — with a giveaway!
Forget the “lazy” days of summer. It feels like it’s been crazy in my little corner of the world ever since I returned from California.
