Amish Cooking Class - The Celebration





Amish Cooking Class - The Celebration

This is the third book in this delightful series by one of my favorite authors, Wanda E. Brunstetter.

I am not a cook so taking a class under Heidi's tutelage would be a treat.

Heidi shares so much with all of her students.  She is a blessing to all.  In turn, Heidi is blessed by her new friends and two small children.  This is the reason to celebrate.

Wanda's books are a reason to celebrate.  The message I receive is giving of ourselves.  With love and thoughtfulness, lives are changed.

I treasure each and every book by Ms. Brunstetter.  Thank you for enriching my life with each book you publish.  I eagerly wait for the next book.

I received this free to review.

I survived!

I'm tired!

What Dreams May Come by Alana Terry

God did have plans for Susannah and Scott.  Susannah tried to remain faithful but she was discouraged and disappointed.  She thought GOD wanted her to stay in Orchard Groves to care for her sister and to forget her dreams.

But that wasn't the plan.  Inspirational story.  You can't help but want a happy ending but not sure it will happen.

I was pleasantly surprised that part of the story was based on the author's story.

Busy Saturday!!

How busy can a Saturday be when you are retired?  I can't stand setting an alarm but I must on Saturdays.  I start my Saturday at 8:30 am every week at my local Weight Watcher's group.  If you know me, this has been an ongoing struggle my whole life.  I feel that at age 60 it is time to reach goal and keep it off!!

I arrive home to eat breakfast and to get ready for Round 2.  Day with grandkids!!!!!  I have 3 grandchildren- age 9, 7 and almost 5.  I love them to bits but they keep me on my toes.  Today will be interesting as I' m taking them to a birthday party at Zap Zone.  A Saturday at Zap Zone with numerous kids running everywhere sounds like fun!

I will survive!  Keep you posted when I get back to my comfortable recliner and a cup of tea!!

No Small Storm- Ann Mateer



Remembrance (Mem) is the name of the main character in this page turning story.  I don't think I'll forget this story of the storm and Mem rescuing Simon and Timothy in more ways than one.

She works hard rescuing everyone in her family.  But without help Mem might lose what she holds dear to her heart.  She finds it difficult to be vulnerable.  She doesn't find true happiness until she takes a risk.

Can Mem And Simon make their dreams come true?

Enjoyable and a page turner!

This Treacherous Journey



Emma, pregnant and widowed, must flee after being wrongly accused of a crime.  Her twin brother is right by her side as they attempt to travel to Canada.

Simeon must flee to escape his pain.  He felt responsible for his wife's death.  How could he have abandoned his children?    Can he ever forgive himself?  Could he ever love again?a

Simeon and Emma learn that GOD has them in the palm of His hand.  He is always there to guide them and protect them.  As they travel to Canada,  their love begins to develop.  Simeon is afraid that he can't protect Emma.  Emma wants to protect Simeon because she knows she must say good-bye once they reach their destination.

Wonderful story of how God works in mysterious ways.  The author clearly described their environment and location.  I could picture it as I read page after page.  I was right there along side them.

21 Days of Love

I opened this collection and loved every short story that was included in it.


I finished this collection in one night.  Each story had a special message to share of GOD's love for you.  I would have a difficult time to pick just one story as my favorite as each one touched me in someway.  

This would be a great gift for a girlfriend or anyone you know who is having a hard time especially during Valentine's Day.

Great collection by some wonderful authors that I am familiar with.
