Welcome to a new week. This week, the blog will be sparse as I took a couple of days off last week and will be taking a few more this week so that I can go do some fun stuff with my husband before he heads back to work.
That being said, I did get a few workdays in between the fun days. 🙂 Continue reading Music Monday: Feels Like Home (Emma 2009)

I thought these images went well together and with this chapter as we are in a library and it appears Wes is taking his father's advice. While his father's advice was not the same as in the letter above, I did think the subject of that letter was appropriate for this story, don't you? I also wonder if Mr. Richard John Uniacke wrote his advice to his son at that desk or not. :)

“Please, grant me your friendship so that I can prove to you that I am a better man than Wickham.”
Her left brow once again arched skeptically.
“I have not been to Sally’s since before I arrived in Hertfordshire.”
She had not expected him to share such information with her. It was startling and caused her cheeks to flush.
“I know it is not proper to discuss such things,” he said before she could inform him that he should not be sharing such things with her.

A pained expression created a great furrow between Grace’s eyes. “Then, how is one ever to know if one is in love enough to marry?”
“That is an excellent question,” Roger replied, turning to Walter. “Do you have an explanation? You always had some reply when we pondered such impossible things in school.”
[from Her Secret Beau, Touches of Austen Book 3]Today marks the beginning of my husband’s vacation time, which means a reduced number of work hours for both him and me. There will be a full week of blog posts this week, but next week the blog will be rather bare with only a Monday post.
The song title for the video today, I think, goes well with both tomorrow’s chapter of Grace’s story and the excerpt from a previously published, currently being updated book at the end of this post because only time will tell how each of these situations is going to work out. (They will work out. That’s not the question really. It’s more how will they work out.)
There is not a whole lot of news to share this week. I am still plugging away at my various projects: Continue reading Music Monday: Anne Elliot & Capt. Wentworth – Only Time
Can't you just imagine Lady Matlock doting on her little boys, and they returning the love and giving her kisses? I'm thinking Wes would be happy to be less well-loved in this chapter. ;)

“You are not leaving.” Lord Matlock stood in front of Wes’s door the following morning, blocking Wes’s path. “Your horse has been returned to the stable. Your mother will not be persuaded to let you leave until you are completely well, and I will not be persuaded to go against her in this.”
Wes sat down on the edge of his bed. His father was actually forbidding him from leaving Matlock House? That was new. He had expected his mother to be put out with him for leaving before she declared he was well enough to do so but not his father.

Can you believe it is August already? July certainly seemed to fly by. This upcoming month will be a busy and fun one for me as my husband will be off from one of his jobs for part of the month. So, I’ll be cutting back on some of my work time while still attempting to keep a few projects on track.
And that cutting back means there will be some impact on the blog — but it should be minimal. These Monday posts might end up being abbreviated and there will be one week (August 19-23) when there will be no posts at all. Yes, there will be a two-week wait between chapters for both the Sweet Tuesdays story and the Thursday’s Three Hundred story. However, I will make sure our couples are in happy places the week prior. So, there will be no cliffs to hang off of for those two weeks. 🙂
Let me update you on the projects I have underway. Continue reading Music Monday: Love Me (Yiruma)
