Continuing my recap of my recent Hawaii trip, let me tell you about one of the most moving experiences of the week. We flew to Oahu for one reason – we wanted to visit Pearl Harbor. What an incredible day. I have about 350 pictures from that day, so there’s no way I can share everything I learned. But here …
Where has Ginny Been?
Here’s a clue: That, my friends, is Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. The picture was taken from our hotel balcony on the morning of our first full day in Hawaii. I rarely post pictures of vacations during the week I’m traveling. Why advertise my absence? But when I get back, I like to post pictures and relive memorable moments. Over the …
In Search of the Perfect Hat
I recently had the opportunity to attend the Breeder’s Cup, a highly important race among thoroughbred racing enthusiasts. Of course you KNOW that a lady dares not show up at such a classic racing event without first visiting the proper milliner. Hatware is of utmost importance if one wants to be accepted in polite horsey society. So I set out …
Holy Moly, I’m a runner. How did that happen?
For the first (mumble) years of my life I avoided running like the dedicated couch potato I was. Even if pried myself out of my office chair to exercise, running was the last thing I would ever do. Then a couple of years ago my daughter voiced an outrageous, ridiculous, totally impossible idea: “Let’s get a group of girls together …
Stuck in the Middle is NOT stuck!
I don’t usually make a habit of watching the bestseller lists, but when I have a book promotion going on I can’t help but take a peek. Imagine my delight when I hopped over to Amazon.com to see how the free Kindle promotion of Stuck in the Middle, book 1 in the Sister-to-Sister series, was going and saw this: The cool …
Digital Bird Chorus – What Will They Think Of Next?!
My grandson recently turned 5, and he requested a toy I’d never heard of before. He wanted a bunch of Digi-Birds. Several of us complied, and he ended up with a nice sized chorus. He brought them to my house and showed me how to sync them up so they can sing together. I’m entranced! Not only do they sing …
A 4 1/2 Star Review!
Squeee! I just discovered that my upcoming book, The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade, received a 4 1/2 star review from RT! And the reviewer loved it! Yippee! Read the review here.
Half Marathon Update
Okay, I’ve purchased a green sequined running skirt, a sparkly green sweat band, green compression sleeves for my calves, and some running shorts to go under the skirt. They’re black, but they have a rainbow-colored strip that is–you guessed it–green. Green is for Tinkerbell. And Tinkerbell is for the half-marathon in: 1 months3 weeks5 days14 hours12 minutes So I’m outfitted. …
Half Minus 74
I can’t believe I’m doing this, but I signed up to run in the Tinkerbell Half Marathon! Okay, ‘run’ is a misnomer. I don’t run. I walk, and occasionally jog a few steps just for the heck of it. 🙂 Regardless, on Mother’s Day 2015 I will be in Anaheim, California with my daughter, my daughter-in-law, and my granddaughter participating …
Cooking Up a Book
No, not a cookbook. My new series, Tales of the Goose Creek B&B, launches this fall with a short novella that will be released as an eBook to introduce the series. The story will be called Horatio and the Six-Toed Cat. Don’t you just love that title? It makes me smile, and since the story makes me smile too, that’s perfect. …
