Geneaology, The Tudors, William Wallace, and the Stomach Bug
I bid you good morrow, oh gracious blog followers!
Okay, maybe I should lay off the medieval movies for awhile. But seriously, is it just me or was the Tudors series completely addicting?? I can't seem to get my head out of the 1500's after watching it and have even began working on a Regency romance ... something I thought I'd never do! And Braveheart ... oh don't get me started. That is one of my all time FaVoRiTe movies!
Check out William Wallace's sword ... this sucker is massive!! From tip to handle, it is 5 feet 6 ... one inch shorter than me! AND weights six pounds. OUCH.
So to keep myself occupied while the Sydney Stomach Bug swept through our house, kicking butt and taking names, I began a family tree on ancestry.com. Ohhhhhh boy. I found some of the most INTERESTING STUFF.
First off, I was able to get all the way back to 510 AD on my dad's side. Along the way, I ran into two Revolutionary War soldiers, one of which had come over to the colonies after rising up against the Crown as a young man in the Jacobite Uprisings in 1745/1746 and was subsequently sold into white slavery. Then he fought and won independence with the other colonists in 1776... how awesome is that!!
Moving on down the line, I discovered a drummer from the War of 1812 and persons serving on both sides during the Civil War! One Confederate was taken as a POW to a prison in Delaware where he was kept until the end of the war, after which he swore allegiance to the United States and was released. WOWZA! Sound a little bit like what happened in A Heart on Hold?
More to come on what happened across the pond later! For now, I think it is time to do some updating on the other pages on this blog!!!
Toodle pip!

So apparently some of the earliest Mennonites were related to my daddy-o came over from Switzerland by way of Germany in the 1600's and settled in Pennsylvania and Ohio before spreading to West Virginia and Indiana! I will get some pictures up later of some of these people!
Most of the immigrants didn't come until the 1600's, making them some of the earliest Americans. Which is totally awesome! When they did come, they came from mostly Germany and England.
More to come on what happened across the pond later! For now, I think it is time to do some updating on the other pages on this blog!!!

Book Reviews
I just had to take a moment and post a few of the reviews that are coming in for both books in An Everlasting Heart series (so far) and Chunky Sugars!
Wait, what? Hold the horses and slap a cactus! There are no reviews for Chunky Sugars yet?? Well poo.
Moving on....
5-Star Review out of Texas! (amazon)
If you liked A Heart on Hold, you will love A Heart Broken. Charlotte is such a strong character that one cannot help but cheer her on during every heart-breaking setback. I won't give any spoilers, but I will say that the historical details and action packed scenes really help bring this timeless love story to life. I'm already counting the days until Book Three is released!
5 Stars out of Texas. (amazon)
I was given an early copy of this book and I fell in love with it. Nonstop historical action--set during the Civil War--plus enough romance to melt your heart. Charlotte is such a feisty heroine. She will do whatever it takes to bring her Sanderson home. What a great movie this would make. I can't wait for book two!
5 Stars out of Texas (amazon)
I ordered this book on Monday, it arrived on Wednesday! I couldn't put the book down after reading just the first few pages. Sorry dishes and laundry, it'll have to wait until I'm finished with my book. Captivating scenery, feels like I'm alive in the story just watching each event unfold.
5 Stars out of Texas (amazon)
From the very beginning of this book it was like I stepped into a time machine and was taken back to a very different and wonderful time period. I felt like I knew these characters personally and couldn't wait to find out what was happening next. This book held my attention from start to finish, which is something very hard to do. I highly recommend this well written book. I can't wait to see what's next from Sara Barnard!
5 Stars from anonym. (BnN)
This book is beautifully written. The amazing quality & imagination from the author kept me guessing until the end. The couples are innocently in love while dealing with struggles from their era: racism, wartime, cultural differences, as well as values. I'm looking forward to Book 2!!
5 Stars from Australia (Goodreads)
Before I read this book I did my research and every review/rating I saw was very positive giving five stars and glowing reviews. Ms Bernard deserves all the praise she is receiving for this wonderful book. I started reading A Heart to Hold last night. I forced myself to stop reading at 1.45 am after my husband grumbled about me still reading. At 6 am I continued reading and now a few hours later I am finished...I wish the story had continued I feel lost now it has finished!
A Heart on Hold is a well written love story with believable characters you cannot help but fall in love with. The storyline captures the reader's attention from start to finish leaving them with the sense they have just accompanied the characters on their long arduous journey. I highly recommend this book and congratulate Sara Barnard for writing this exceptionally good novel. I am thrilled to read Charlotte and Sanderson's story will continue.

Growl, I owe you one, Monday.
Here is how our morning has played out thus far.
ME: Good morning Monday, you beautiful, albeit chilly, day you!
MONDAY: Slap, kick, punch, whirlybird, spit
ME: *sob, whimper, sob*
I hope yours is faring better! It is back to school and back to work here and of course, everything is falling apart! Well, not everything. We have our health (mostly), our sanity (somewhat), and our wallets (but we don't know where they are).
There's a few new days posted about over on the Drill Sergeant tab and another installment of The Bank Robber's Lament is coming soon!
I have two new releases this month that are already out:
CHUNKY SUGARS, my children's book -- beautifully illustrated by Joshua Stolte -- which released on New Year's day! Written for Sun 3 and dedicated to chunky babies everywhere! Find out what happens when Mommy gets all of her little baby's sugars!! (The age old Mom-inspired question!)
A HEART BROKEN - in ebook format. Releases in print on the 22nd of January. In this book, the second of the Everlasting Heart series, Charlotte is forced to find out how much grief can a heart bear before being tested to the ultimate limit.
The War is over, Sanderson is home, and life is good … until the Army comes knocking. They have charged Sanderson with the murder and is sentenced to “hang by the neck until dead” – unless he can track down and kill the notorious outlaw William Quantrill with the help of SGT Jerry Thomas, who still may be in love with Charlotte. While Sanderson is on his blood mission, Charlotte is left to endure a complicated pregnancy with the help of Minerva and battle a rash of hydrophobia that threatens the countryside, Cotton, Achilles, and Sanderson.

Ear Infection
So the other day, we were at the ER for what I feared was the flu in Sun 1. Once there, we were assured that no, it is a raging ear infection that is to blame. Good enough for me!
Home we come with amoxicillin, a note for school the next day, and analgesics in tow.
A side note on Sun 1. He loves school. He loves his teacher. He loves his friends. He loves being there in the middle of everything.
Well, the following morning, he is up and dressed before I even managed to stumble to the Keurig. He assures me he is well enough for school and proceeds to put on his backpack, feed his dogs, and sit down by the garage door to wait. In other words, I am not getting out of the house without him and he would be getting off at the school stop!
So I drug him up with Motrin and a note for the all-too-awesome school secretary who said she would give him another dose of Tylenol in four hours.
All was well right up till the end of school. That baby sun came home from school feeling beyond puny, took a shower, and went straight to bed. Well, he agreed to stay home today (Friday) until he remembered it was Library Day for his class.
On a hunch, I flipped open my Amish Cookbook and found a recipe for ear infection treatment!! So I combined the olive oil and fresh garlic, let it steep for a few hours, strained out the garlic, and warmed up a few drops and put it in Sun 1's affected ear.
THIS MORNING SUN 1 WAS A NEW CHILD. NO FEVER. NO PAIN IN THE EAR. NO NOTHING, HE WAS JUST RARING TO GO.
Thank you, Amish ear salve treatment. IT DID THE TRICK!

Europe
I just figured out how to check my page views! I found something totally cool. The second largest group of viewers of this site is none other than the glorious country of Poland! Thanks for popping by!! Here in the United States, we like to talk about the weather just about as much as we like to talk about anything else. So please, leave a comment if you like and tell us what the weather is like where YOU live!
In a close third came blog-hoppers Germany, followed by the United Kingdom then Ireland! Welcome, y'all!!

Basic Combat Training, day one of week zero, starts today and already things are happening. Click on over to the Drill Sergeant's tab at the top to check it out!
Teeth and Stuff
We had a surprise visitor last night! My oldest "sun" lost his first tooth yesterday evening. That sucker didn't want to be lost, it hung out for two weeks before finally coming out! Anywho, he was so excited as he looked at it in the plastic Ziploc baggie (tooth fairies prefer those, you know) that I thought he would never go to sleep! I actually heard the tooth fairy buzz the house a few times!
Once he was finally asleep, I heard the tooth fairy in there, searching like mad under his pillow for the baggie, but to no avail. Mr. Tooth Fairy found the baggie in the bathroom ... "Sun 1" had taken the tiny tooth out and placed it under his pillow, old fashioned style.
After much searching, Mr. and Mrs. Tooth Fairy were able to, not only get "Sun 2" back to sleep, but see that a bunch of change was scattered beneath his pillow. Yay!
This morning, my early riser was 75 cents richer!!

Happy Birthday, Elvis!
Music. The voice that has the ability to speak across generations. Isn't is strange to think ... a man who rose to fame half a century ago still touches so many through his music, and even movies, today. I never got to personally watch Elvis on TV, in concert, or even hear him live on the radio. My parents did. They were fans and still are. As a matter of fact, Dad would always let me pick out an Elvis movie to watch with my friends when I hosted slumber parties as a little girl. Without fail, I would pick Tickle Me. Some of my earliest memories of The King are the aforementioned movie, a handful of his songs, and mostly other singers singing about him. Tricia Yearwood (Wrong Side of Memphis), ZZ Top (Viva Las Vegas), and Alannah Myles (Black Velvet), just to name a few.
Some Elvis memories are more tender than others. Take my husband, for example. He served in Afghanistan with a guy who was quite possibly The King's biggest fan in the Army. This soldier's name: SGT Michael K. Ingram.
We came to the unit late having arrived in August, with a new baby in tow. Two weeks after he in processed, my husband received expedited orders to Afghanistan. You see, the unit, which had deployed in June, and had already sustained heavy losses. So off my husband went to the desert. He and SGT Ingram wasted no time in becoming, what they call in the Army, Battle Buddies. Two peas in a camouflaged pod.
Michael LOVED Elvis and because of this love, everyone within hearing distance was fortunate enough to listen to any given Elvis hit before a mission. After a mission. Before bunking down for the night. And oh boy, did he sing along!
Check out the link above and you'll see that my husband's sweet friend was killed in action over there in the sands of the Middle East. I remember how Ingram would save the webcam for my husband once he finished talking to his loved ones so that my husband could have some face time with me. In this family, at least between my husband and myself, Elvis memories and Ingram memories are interwoven ... thus making them even more special. I wish I had gotten to meet him in person. It would have been an absolute honor.
Care to share some of your Elvis memories? We'd love to hear 'em!

New Year's Greeting
Hey from Oklahoma! Here we are on the cusp of 2013 and the hubby is about to start his final cycle as a drill sergeant. In commemoration of this event, I am going to post daily updates here of the crazy goings on in Basic Training!
January has been an eventful month so far. I am deep in the development of book 3 in An Everlasting Heart series, A HEART AT HOME, and having a ball. That is the best thing about being a writer who loves history ... having a time machine right in front of you -- called pencil/paper or in my case, MS Word 10! Book 2, A HEART BROKEN, releases on the 11th from 5 Prince Publishing and my debut children's book, CHUNKY SUGARS (written for the chunkiest of my 'suns') released on New Year's Day! Check it out if you get the chance or enter the giveaway at Sara's Goodreads.com Page
So I have done a bad bad thing. I am under a tight deadline with the An Everlasting Heart series, yet I have written out a whole other project that I just HAD to get out to you. So just for fun and for fellow historical/western lovers, I am going to publish it here (and on my goodreads.com blog) a little at a time ON ONE CONDITION. You readers HAVE to comment and tell me what you think along the way :-)
The title is A BANKROBBER'S LAMENT ... let's get started!
