I’ve always wanted to see the tulip fields in Holland, and until I can do that, I’m lucky to have Holland Ridge Farms nearby. In the spring, they have amazing fields of tulips, but come the fall, it’s time for gladiolas, sunflowers, and many other flowers. They’ve really done a great job of having areas for Instagram-worthy photos, including a beautiful windmill! My sister and I went a few weeks ago, and today I’m sharing some photos from that visit.
OMG, Hollywood seems to love redoing old shows or movies. So let’s help them pick the next great old TV show to redo! I loved LOST IN SPACE, but that’s already been done. So I’m reaching into the not-so-distant past and wondering if either MOONLIGHTING or REMINGTON STEELE would be awesome shows to bring back? What do you think? What old-time TV show would you like to bring back? P.S. Hallmark definitely did something new when they made SOUTH BEACH LOVE into an original movie!

I love babysitting our grandbaby. He’s such a delight. I also love that I get to see my wonderful daughter when she comes by to pick him up. This past week was a very special visit since her Dad and I had ordered her new book, TRAVELER. It’s a tale of the banished prince of an underwater kingdom who has to deal with a perplexing surf photographer who has discovered his secret. Here’s a photo of my daughter and her little assistant signing her new release! You can grab TRAVELER at https://amzn.to/46hqDJ7.
Goodbye, old friend! Twenty-five years ago, I bought a Sebring Convertible, and over the years, it’s been a happy part of my life, bringing many joyous memories. Driving my daughter and her friends with the top down. A road trip to Florida. Taking part in a few Ocean Grove July 4th parades to support my daughter’s surf and skate shop. Cruising on the open road, top down, radio blasting. Unfortunately, twenty-five years took their toll on my baby. This past Saturday, we traded her in. But before we did that, my daughter and I took a final drive, top down, radio blasting! When we arrived at the dealer, we did a last photo of us with my old friend. Thank you for so many wonderful years and memories! P.S. Connie, the too responsible, too workaholic heroine of WHAT HAPPENS IN SUMMER, can’t resist a drive in the hero’s convertible supercar.

It seems like yesterday that my daughter joined me for my very first book signing. It’ll actually be twenty-six years this September, which is hard to believe. But what I love most is that my daughter has joined me on this book journey and is now a successful author. I love being able to do book signings with her and see how wonderfully she is doing.

Many years ago, I visited Bologna, Italy, while I was on a work assignment. The city charmed me, and I knew that I would one day have to bring my family back to explore it. I was lucky to visit again with my husband, and of all the cities we visited on this trip, he loved Bologna the best as well! We started off with a lovely stay at the Hotel Baglioni, which turned out to be one of The Leading Hotels of the World (a former client). What a gorgeous place! Then we hit the streets, walking along the arched corridors. We located a pasta shop with the ladies who visit with TV Chef Lydia. Then we explored and found a leaning tower, one of many we saw in Italy. After, we discovered a library built on ruins that you could visit. I searched to see if they had any of my books (sadly, no). We strolled to a nearby square and a church with some lovely statues, artwork, and a floral display from a local garden club. We hurried to the food market before it closed and picked up some delicious bread, cheese, and strawberries. Later that night, after a tasty al fresco dinner, we saw a wonderful Saturday celebration of Palm Sunday in the main square. All in all, it was a wonderful time before we had to leave for our next stop: Florence!
This year’s Romance Writers of America conference was held in lovely Niagara Falls. It was wonderful to spend time with old friends, make new ones, and see such a beautiful, natural wonder. The falls were amazing, and the weather was incredible. Low humidity and mid-80s with brilliant sun. I caught the daily fireworks also. I just love fireworks. Have you ever been to Niagara Falls? If you went, did you love it?
