Summerrrrrrr!!!!

I took this photo of a dog running in the surf at Myrtle Beach. I love dogs at the beach! They’re so much fun. Yesterday was the last day of school here. Today–no alarm clock, no bus, no papers from school to sign, no kids rushing around scrambling to find their backpacks…. Just dogs running in the surf and the sound of waves pounding the sand. I’m spending the entire summer relaxing at a beach house in the Outer Banks!!

Okay, that’s so a lie. That’s the picture of my fantasy summer. My real summer? Camps–4-H and sports in June, RWA (romance writer camp, LOL) in July, and back to sports practices the first of August. Still fun, but busy-busy, and no beach in sight.

What’s your fantasy summer vs. your real summer? I’m giving away the June releases from Silhouette Romantic Suspense, and up for grabs this weekend is Shelter from the Storm by RaeAnne Thayne! Drop me a note to be in the running!

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

Postitve thoughts for the return of Coco. Your snow has finally made it to my door step. Hope it doesn't amount to too much but looks like a nasty night for us. Stay warm and just think how much furth... - friendfromcanada on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)
Was she microchipped? That will help if someone takes her to a vet. In our area, when someone brings in an animal the first time they are automatically scanned. I check the site hourly, hoping for a... - lattelady on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)
It is cold and snowy here too. I am reminded to pray for Coco and her return to your home every time I head out with the puppy. We will continue to hope for the best for all of you. The best being Coc... - Katharina on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)
My cousin and her dog were in a terrible car accident, and Sophia (a small, skinny mutt) ran away. She was found 20 miles away by one of the truckers from where my uncle worked. So don't lose hope tha... - valnc on A Crushing Event
I'm so sorry that you're both having to go through this. I'm sitting here teary-eyed wishing I could come and help, but all I can do is send our hopes for a happy reunion and go out and hug my two bi... - gardnerh on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)
I hope this does not sound dumb, but I keep thinking to tell you not to omit looking close to home. Could she get into any part of the barn unnoticed? We found a beautiful, huge, golden retriever.... - CATRAY44 on A Crushing Event
I had missed your Barn post. I am so sorry to hear about Coco. Dogs are smarter than humans, and she'll know to burrow into a small area, with the snow to keep her warmer than if it was not there. ... - GA_in_GA on Unaccustomed Activity (and Second Tango Winner)

Praying that by the time I write this Coco is back with you. Are there any hunters nearby that can help you track her? I really pray that someone found her and is caring for her and will return her s... - lavenderblue on A Crushing Event
Waiting for Coco to come home must be excrutiating. I'm sure she knows how much she is loved. She will come home in her own time if she can. Bless her precious heart. You must not blame yourself.... - AngelaS on A Crushing Event
