Ahhh...relaxing...

Today we had a nice, relaxing Sunday Soup. We had six people, including one newbie, plus us, which was fun. The soup was a lovely egg drop and spinach soup. Because it's Mother's Day, The Sous Chef didn't come, but she did come over last night and help me wash the spinach. The soup is best if it's made at the last minute, so I essentially made it just moments before everyone arrived. Cleaning all that spinach is a job though, so I appreciated her help last night.

It was nice and sunny, but it's been a cool spring so far and we haven't moved out onto the porch yet, although for the first two years, we've always been outside in May. Maybe next week.

It was such a relaxing SS, that the Fix-it Guy kept falling asleep in his chair, and the second everyone was out the door, The Southerner headed for the couch for his nap. Me? I'm too excited to nap. Why? Because not only does my book finally go on sale THIS THURSDAY, but it's already in some stores and today, someone sent me a photo of it "in the wild" as we say in publishing...in other words, for sale in a bookstore! It's the blue one, front and centre (Restoring Harmony).



Hope you have wonderful week!

That's awesome! I'm going to have to check out your book right away! (Just curious; what's it about?)

How does it feel to be a published author? It's something a college student/blogger like me only DREAMS of! Please share the wonderful emotions of the experience! :)

Emmy, if you see this, drop me a line through my website. The link is in my sidebar of this blog "My writing website". I tried to leave you a comment on your blog, but I'm having trouble leaving comments on some blogs and it just disappeared.

Not only is Restoring Harmony in the wild, it's in the library system, too, and I was up until waaay too late last weekend reading it. May it stay in print at least as long as its companion on the bookshelf in the photo, Go Ask Alice!

Oh, and I'm late with this comment because I was at Younger Son's college graduation that weekend and then I was way behind on reading blogs. So good luck on the road trip that you are on now (May 26) and here's hoping all the bridges you have to cross between here and there are in good condition!
