Hubby and I spent the morning burning one–just one–of the debris piles leftover from the last storm. Deconstructing the collection of debris wrapped around our few remaining trees is like playing Jenga with the Greek gods.
This is in preparation for another BIG storm that is supposed to hit tomorrow. Next up…sandbags. That sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
But I really shouldn’t complain. My brother-in-law in South Dakota said it got down to 12-degrees last night and snow is predicted for Sunday. If anybody deserves a nice dose of spring, it’s the MidWest.
Here’s your weekend wisdom–cowboy-style–from my new release, THAT COWBOY’S FOREVER FAMILY:
I hope you had a productive week! Mine was a bit over-the-top, actually.
We wrapped up Phase 1 of my website remodel.
My web doctor got the basic framework in place then transferred the site to a new server. I asked her to keep things simple so I can do updates myself. The best news is: she fixed my blog! I can upload photos again, which is a BIG deal for me. I love being able to share photos of what’s happening in Debland. 😉
We took a stroll along the Merced River Canyon on Sunday. Lots of icy water in the river and wild flowers galore.
Remember last week, when I shared the information about the blurb-writing webinar? Well, thanks to that class and some great feedback, I managed to tweak the blurb for THAT COWBOY’S FOREVER FAMILY and upload to all vendors for sale.
Here’s the final version and my new cover. What do you think?
Life can change in an instant. The same amount of time it takes for a bullet to kill. Ranch foreman Tom Butler loved his ex-wife enough to let her go when ambition lured her to L.A., but he never stopped loving their two daughters. His rustic lifestyle in the Central Valley added light years to the distance between them until the day tragedy struck. Tom may not be the dad his daughters know, but he’ll do anything for his family—even ask for help from a beautiful stranger. Victims advocate Abby Davis’s life needs a major overhaul–just not the kind her newly single boss has in mind. On the verge of quitting, she meets Angela and Heather Butler–and their father. She can’t turn her back on two brokenhearted children and their beleaguered father, but can she do her job without losing her heart in the process? That Cowboy’s Forever Family is Book 6 in the West Coast Happily-Ever-After series. If you’re a fan of deeply emotional stories that make you smile through your tears, then you can’t miss Debra Salonen’s cowboy dad, his brave little girls and the woman they were meant to love. Buy That Cowboy’s Forever Family to escape into a warm, happy place where love thrives.

This weekend we’re celebrating my son’s birthday and hosting a “Meet and Greet” for a friend who is running for County Supervisor of our District. That sounds like more socialization than I normally see in a month. Wish me luck!
