A Beautiful Sunset

I’ve been having a great time going to workshops and spending some time with friends, both old and new. We had a free moment between events and since the hotel property is right on the Potomac, we went down to see the sunset. It was lovely and in the distance, we could see a storm over the other shore. There was also a beautiful little waterfall along the walk down to the water. The grounds here are lovely and if you want to see an amazing laser and fountain show at the Gaylord, you can visit my Facebook Fan page at https://www.facebook.com/Caridad.Author/videos/590198022663739/.

Exciting Visit to Citi Field

Hubby and I are big Mets fans so it was great to be able to get a tour of the stadium yesterday! We had a great time and bought some tickets for upcoming games. We’ll be visiting a number of other stadiums in the next year or so since we want to be able to visit every ballpark in the U.S. We started with Citi Field back in May and will be going to a Nationals game later this month. Here are some photos for you from our visit! P.S. – if you’re a baseball fan, read the first three chapters of Winning Season for free on Kindle Vella.

Wishing You a Happy Weekend

Thank God It’s Friday! I hope you all have a great weekend. I know I’m looking forward to mine and going to my very first Romanticonn. If you’ll be in the Trumball, CT area on Saturday, I’d love for you to come visit with me at Romanticonn at the Trumball Marriott. The book signing starts at 12 pm and runs until 4 pm. There is a fee for attendance, but I think you’ll love visiting with so many other authors and vendors at the event. You can find out more at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/romanticonn-2022-tickets-234015144597.

How to help your favorite authors

One of the best things about being an author is getting to meet all of you! It’s wonderful to be able to engage with you and one of the things that readers ask the most is “How can I help support you?” I gave it some thought and came up with these ten ways you can help an author without spending a cent. And again, thank you for your friendship and support.

Exciting to Meet New Friends!

One of the things I missed the most during the pandemic was being able to go to conferences and make new friends! Now that it’s over, I’m glad to be able to attend wonderful events like the Space Coast Book Lovers Conference and make new friends as well as catch up with old friends. Yesterday we had an author networking session and also a fabulous meet and greet where I got to hang out with some new peeps. Here’s a picture of me with Dee, Mona, and Michelle! Dee and Michelle are fellow romance authors and Mona provides website help. We had a nice time over dinner and got to know each other better. I also met some lovely other authors and readers and found out about more conferences in other states. I see lots of road trips in the future for me! LOL!

Happy Visit to the Philly Flower Show

Yesterday was our annual pilgrimage to the Philly Flower Show and WOW! It was awesome. I was a little worried because last year’s first-ever outdoor show had me wondering whether this new format was one I would like, but this year proved me wrong. There were so many wonderful exhibits, the always amazing Butterflies Live! event, a nice food bazaar, and lots of vendors. I miss seeing Kremps there as well as the other cut flower vendors, but all in all, it was a fantastic show!

A Lovely Day 3 on our River Cruise

We woke docked in the beautiful Wachau Valley in Austria. This is a big wine-growing area and also the home of Melk and its lovely abbey. That was our first stop in the morning and we took a bus to the abbey, but then walked back through the lovely town of Melk to reach where our ship was docked. Here are some photos from Melk! The abbey was absolutely amazing with its gardens and baroque church. It’s actually a functioning abbey with brothers and a school.

Once we were back on board, we cruised to the nearby city of Durnstein! So many beautiful sites along the way on the Danube River.

We arrived at the small town of Durnstein which was surrounded by vineyards. We hiked into town and did some exploring before heading back to the ship for a celebration since we would be docking in Vienna in the morning and some people would be headed home. Hubby and I were staying for another two days so we could explore Vienna.
