Bless your hearts. I’m so sorry some of you were worried about me.
I’m fine–I just ran out of day before I ran out of things to do. 
I’ve finally got a handle on the opening of CHRISTMAS IN MUSTANG CREEK–phew! The first chapter is always a little more difficult than the ones to follow, I guess because I’m getting everybody on stage at the right time.
I’m up later than usual tonight–I’m waiting for angels. No, really. I am.
Here’s why: my good friend Joan sent me an interesting email, asking if I’d like to be visited by five angels for five days. Well, heck, that was a no-brainer–sure I would. What’s involved? Well, I was instructed to set up a small table somewhere, with an apple, a flameless candle, a white flower (I used a lovely yellow daffodil instead) and a letter welcoming the angels and outlining three wishes–one for the planet, one for my family, and one for myself. I sealed the letter and placed it on the table, which is in front of my office window. There’s one more step–at 10:30 on the dot, I will open my front door, candle lit and in hand, and welcome my guests. After five days, I will burn the letter and eat the apple. I’ll be sending the same invitation Joan sent me to three of my friends. (I suppose this qualifies as a chain letter, and I don’t do those, but Joan is one smart lady and the idea intrigues me.)
I’ll be sure to report on the whole experiment, and if any of you would like the instructions for your own angel visit, let me know, and I’ll see that you get them.
Tomorrow is Weight Watchers day, and I’ll bring you up to speed on that, too.
In the meantime, keep commenting. You may be one of this week’s winners.

I would love the instructions for an angel visit. Sounds really interesting. Glad to hear about the book. Good luck with weight watchers. Can’t wait for the visit experiment results and the new book. Hope you have a great day.

As I told a friend, just this night…Time flies when you’re having fun, and it flies when you’re not. And, with this, it’s not a matter of which side of the bathroom door you’re on.
I’m just glad you’re not sick, or relapsed, this time.
I’d be interested in the angel visit, also.
Take care and have a great rest of the week!

I know what it is like to run out of time on something………and there are angels among us.
Comment
Glad you’re ok
And yes, I would love the angel instructions, and also to hear if/when you receive a visit! I wonder, do you actually see them when they arrive?!? Interesting, for sure! Anxiously awaiting a trip to Mustang Creek, as I’ve just re-read (for the however many times) the Springwater books ~ love those people!!

I don’t see them. I can sense presences, however.

I am intrigued by the angels. I would love the instructions. Good luck with your new book!

The visit by the angels is very interesting, I await to hear more! I love hearing about the process authors work through when starting a new book…and of course I will await its release to get my hands on it (or iPad)! Good luck at WW today!

Very interesting idea about the angels visit. I think mine are always with me but it is always nice to get confirmation.
I know how you can get wrapped up in something and Surprise! hours have passed. I just finished being wrapped up rereading Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness so I would recall the story line when the last of her trilogy comes out this summer. I think I should have waited until closer to the next release date! lol It was dense, so now I want a good old fashioned HEA romance to clear my brain! Hmm a LLM title I think will do the trick! 
xo Have a great day!

We can all use angels in our lives. I know I can. It is something to consider trying.
Comment
I Love doing things like this, it lifts my spirits!!!!
Comment
I know we all could use an angel but I am like you I don’t do chain letters but sounds like this one was a little different.
Comment

Sounds like an interesting adventure. Can’t wait to see what happens in 5 days. I got an interesting email yesterday about the 7 wonders of the world. A high school student named them: to see, to hear, to smell, to taste, to touch, to laugh, and to love. What an insightful list.
Comment

Comment
Glad you are ok, and I would love to have the angel instructions. I know you are a busy lady and don’t know how you keep up with all you do, but we do miss you when you don’t blog. Good luck with your weight watchers tomorrow..
Comment
Glad you are OK. I always take a visit from angels to be when they guide you to the next step in your existence so you unnerved me for a minute.
Comment
Oops! Sorry about that.
Comment
Have been out of town so have missed your blogs. Will have to go back and catch up! Don’t go to weight watchers but lost 6.5 lbs in the last week. STOMACH VIRUS! Not a good way to lose pounds. It is nice though to be comfortable in my jeans! Loved hearing about the angels. I believe in angels and depend on my guardian angel to keep me out of trouble. So far success. My day isn’t complete till I read your blog but now I have to start mine. God bless and keep writing!!!
Comment
Would love to be sent the angels. I did this once before and would like to have the angels visit again
Comment
Been out of town for “C” checkup. Still a survivor, yeah!
Hope the angels come and visit you. That is always a good thing to have them around! God blesses us.
Best of luck at W.W. Anxious to hear how you did.
As always, can’t wait for the new book.
