Texas Got Rain, and I Got A Haircut!

We asked for rain in Texas, and we got it!  We've lived in our house for almost four months, and this past weekend was the first time our 'seasonal creek' filled up.  I don't know how many inches we got, since our Lab ate the rain gage, but we have had lots of rain. 

I just finished my revisions on Plain Paradise and will be sending it to my editor shortly.  That book has many issues close to my heart -- adoption, the power of prayer, and the poems Stephen writes to Linda are fragments of poems my husband has written to me.  Can't wait for you to read it in March! 

I'm planning to include 'Snitz Pie' as one of the recipes in Plain Paradise.  I understand that 'snitz' is dried apples.  I'm wondering if I can get that in my small town.  ??

I'll be starting a new book this week, so I decided I needed a new look too.  So, I got my hair cut.  Bunches.  These are goofy pictures my husband took, but I'm hoping maybe I look younger.  Always striving for younger...LOL...

 Hope everyone has a great week!

  This is where most of my books are written - on my couch, in the recliner!
  I miss having little ones around (like Amy!) to decorate for Halloween, but I always put out a few things!

    Beth, Love the haircut, very perky! Our seasonal creek is also flowing. We've had between 4-5 inches in the last couple days. This is the first time Sandy Creek has flowed since the heavy rains in late April. Usually it is just sand, like a beach!

    Beth,
    Your hair looks gorgeous! But I must tell you that when I first saw your pic when I first read Plain Perfect you didn't look older than me (I am 28!)! Now you really look younger than me!

    Blessings and love your work!!
    Can't wait to review your next book in the Daughters of the Promise series!

    Beth,

    Your hair looks GREAT. I got a haircut also but mine is a lot shorter, but you can just take it so long and you have to do something. I have ordered Plain Promise and can't wait to read it.

    Love the haircut. Good hair cuts make us women with adult children look younger. I always like a good hair cut these days. Can't wait for the new book. Love the halloween decorations. I too still decorate even tho I don't have little children any longer. But I do have the grandkid and when he is older maybe he will enjoy the decorations. I enjoy the memories of when we bought the decorations each year, just like the Christmas decorations for the tree, each one has a special memory attached.
