I love having my furniture back in my house. Joe and I recently downsized from a house—to a townhouse. I'm tellin' ya, downsizing at this stage of life is not for the faint of heart. Still, we're loving our new place! But we left the house staged with our furniture until the house sold (which it did!), so it's completely lovely to have our "things" back.

I just got home two days ago from attending the Romance Writers of America annual conference which took place this year in Disney World at the beautiful Swan and Dolphin Resort Hotel.
