A Poll And A Pic *updated for clarification*

Well, we've sold our house. We've moved all our contents to storage. We've begun the process of building our new "estate". We've permanently moved part of our family to Texas while the rest continue to travel back and forth between Texas and Louisiana (Except for our darling oldest daughter who has settled ~at least for now~ in another state). So, the first order of business....*(Here comes the poll)*
Does North Central Texas still count as the South? Cause if not, I have to rename my blog.*(Here ends the poll)*

Okay and here is a picture of the beautiful pages of one of the beautiful new books I bought. (Hopefully more on that later)



Blessings on your day,

Yahoo! A New Sisterchicks Book!

I LOVE this series. I highly recommend you buying and reading them all. Or I suppose you could check your local library. But seriously, these books are fun and encouraging - a totally clean read. The author has several other series as well - one of them being the Christy Miller Series which is great youth fiction and a real favorite in our house. We nearly fell out waiting for the College Years!!





That's right! Robin Jones Gunn (whom I have met in person! Remember Robin? That time in Shreveport? I'm sure you do.) has penned another Sisterchicks novel, and right here I have the chance to win a copy!!

Sisterchicks in Wooden Shoes! by Robin Jones Gunn, in stores May 5, 2009.

"Summer and Noelle, two pen pals since 4th grade, meet for the first time in the land of tulips and windmills. An abnormal mammogram sends Summer on a quest to fulfill her lifelong wish before she begins the same struggle her mother fought against breast cancer. The story of these two Sisterchicks is brimming with hope and cheer and will bring encouragement for any woman who has faced a fearful future."

Can't wait!!

See? I TOLD you I met her!
(Those are some of my Chicas! - we were on a girlfriend's vacation!!)

Quick, Pick Up The Nearest Book!

Quick, Pick up the Nearest Book!

I totally stole this MeMe from Zeek at The Way I See It

also saw this MeMe at Bits and Pieces

The rules of this particular MeMe are:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence
4. Post the next three sentences
5. Tag five people (although I am not a tagger myself - my nature binds me to at least post the rules)

My book: (Liked very much - a rather clean romance)
Austenland by Shannon Hale
Even so, she found herself hoping it was Mr. Nobley. Instinct urged her to stomp on the hope. She ignored it.

Zeek's book:
Of course, mine is from The Summer Garden by Paullina Simons. (Feel fortunate, the next closest is a Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual one of my fellow star trek geek co-workers laid on my desk!)
"When I was in Colditz, that impenetrable fortress, whittling away my life, I wanted to know this." "Looks like you're still there, Shura.""No," he said. "I'm in New York, a fly on the wall, trying to see you without me."
