Hey folks, Susan Sleeman of The Suspense Zone just posted a new review of Moving Target. Here’s a snippet:

From #2 child: When did you learn to speak Spanish, Mom?
Yep, you guessed it. One of the joys of homeschooling is that you learn what they learn. So, I speak French, but am taking Spanish 1 for the second time. Gotta love it.

Sunset Cruise

The first time I ever saw my husband in action, he was the youth minister at my sister’s church.  She was still in high school and I had come home for a quick visit.  I walked up to where the youth group was having their meeting and saw this guy with his head buried in [...]

Baths Stink

I don’t know why it is that dogs will sniff until they find the one stinky spot in the yard and then joyfully roll in it.  Today when we got home from a day long shopping expedition, it was very apparent to all of us that the time had come for the poodles to get [...]

I spent my vacation week at the beach with my entire family, including my three little nieces.  They’re so cute. The 5 year old is still filled with the wonder of the world, bugs and frogs and bunny rabbits.  The 3 year old makes jokes that only she understands, but we all laugh because she’s [...]
