A lovely, lovely group that is always welcoming to someone who doesn't get out as much as they should.<br /><br />And yes, the friendship must be fate. We will discuss in Orlando. :)Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175907053742185475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-20196530443649395792010-05-19T23:08:59.709-04:002010-05-19T23:08:59.709-04:00PinkPeony, I remember Gidget movies!

Not only were we chapter pres. the same year, but we both went to the same conference and both accepted the invitation to the officers' table and ended up sitting next to each other at a twelve-top, both of writing historicals and the only two Southerners there.<br /><br />Fate. . . . *g*Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-81546890260164796912010-05-19T23:03:27.361-04:002010-05-19T23:03:27.361-04:00Karyn, you got the summer romance of all, a perman...Karyn, you got the summer romance of all, a permanent one. :-)<br /><br />The dh also teaches, but we don't travel as much as we once did.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-86381026013687951722010-05-19T22:20:39.000-04:002010-05-19T22:20:39.000-04:00Deb wrote: I'm going to have to keep bug spray...Deb wrote: <i>I'm going to have to keep bug spray in the car, I think. :(<br /><br /></i>What a drag!

I usually do long books on plane rides, and also I usually pick a long one to read in December over the holidays. I read Lonesome Dove one December and I realized that this was a book that I would not have ordinarily read because during most of the year, a book gets picked up, put down, picked up (where was I?), put down, picked up (what happened here? Why can't I remember that? And who is this character?). Is was after that experience that I started carving out special times for special books that I need I needed to make time for.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04175907053742185475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-84733375817278326362010-05-19T20:08:09.144-04:002010-05-19T20:08:09.144-04:00Denise, I love the Presents.

Jane Porter is one of my favs, as is Annie West.<br /><br />And yes, I have read every SEP. Heaven, TX was the first one I read, but It Had to be You is my favorite. She's such a fanny lady, and her characters are such sweethearts.

My TBR pile is a mountain!<br /><br />I think a perfect summer's day is different on my mood. Some days I just want to stay inside where it is cool. Others can be spent on my front porch in the glider. Then there are those summer days when my husband, daughter, and I go fishing and just enjoy sitting by the lake. <br /><br /><br />I had a summer romance when I was 21.<br />Cousins had come over from Denmark for my sister's wedding and stayed 6 weeks. One was a nice looking guy named Finn who was my age and we clicked right away. It was hard to resist his accent--a British-Danish combo. It was a sad day when he left, but we had so much fun in the time he was here.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831144769121001738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-66796138004767428042010-05-19T16:52:13.989-04:002010-05-19T16:52:13.989-04:00Christine, as you shiver, I'm sitting here gla...Christine, as you shiver, I'm sitting here glad the humidity isn't rising with the temperature. :-)<br /><br />I love Kathleen's books, too.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13705259501965011703noreply@blogger.com
