On the first day of December!!

Yes, I'm challenging myself again....yeah, I know, a book a Sunday fell to the wayside but I did blog about a book for more than half the year!!

This is more fun, a Christmas song everyday until the big day!!

I love this song and this version is my favorite, who doesn't love Rascal Flatts!!?? I love the sentiment; being home for Christmas and all it means...I can't imagine spending Christmas anywhere else. Besides, home is where the heart is!

A December Challenge for Me!

I'm going to attempt to post daily or nightly! A Christmas song one for every day until Christmas!!

Call Me Irresistible

Susan Elizabeth Phillips has done it again and she did it by creating a wonderful story with children of past heroines!!

She took Lucy Jorik from First Lady, Teddy Beaudine from Fancy Pants and Meg Koranda from What I Did For Love via Glitter Baby and threw them together in a wonderful love story.

If you've never read Susan's books you need to-take this from someone who hates "modern" romance novels, these books are refreshing, delightful and funny. They give me hope that my dreams will come true.

ok, I missed last week but

there's a great excuse!! Tony won the race and the championship!!!!!!!

oh well

yes, i've been distracted by the Chase for the Sprint Cup....but I will start up again next week, just finished another wonderful SEP book with more characters from her other books!! love her!

I had books planned, well for the most part, but I will admit that NASCAR got in the way...

A day late for over the rainbow...

Originally slated for the first Kansas race but it will have to do for a late entry!

The Wonderful Wizard of OZ- Dorothy is a girl who lives in a farmhouse in Kansas with her Uncle Henry, Aunt Em, and little dog Toto. One day the farmhouse, with Dorothy and Toto inside, is caught up in a tornado and deposited in a field in the Land of the Munchkins in the Land of Oz. The falling house kills the ruler of the Munchkins, the Wicked Witch of the East. The Good Witch of the North comes with the Munchkins to greet Dorothy and gives Dorothy the Silver Shoes that the Wicked Witch of the East had been wearing when she was killed. In order to return to Kansas, the Good Witch of the North tells Dorothy that she will have to go to the "Emerald City" or "City of Emeralds" and ask the Wizard of Oz to help her.
