Three exciting novellas

 

Spy, Matchmaker, and the Rules of Love

These three beautifully written novellas written by Anne Greene, are ones to  capture your heart and imagination.

A Rebel Spy is knee deep in the Civil War. Sophie is a spy for the Confederacy. Who would think a woman could be a spy. When she is captured by Yankee Major Brent Bartell, he captures more than she expects.

Lord Bentley Needs a Bride follows Lord Bentley as he must choose a bride before the end of the year. There are twists and turns in finding a bride. A jealous brother thwarting his efforts. Does Lord Bentley finally find a bride?

An Undaunted Matchmaker 
Eve has been helping coming of age girls from the orphanage find a husband. But she herself is not wanting a husband. Rafe is just as determined to make Eve his bride.

These three novellas are interesting and enlightening. Clean faith based stories. You will enjoy these stories especially if you enjoy historical fiction.  

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

Florida days

Many of you may still be in the middle of snow and cold. But this is what the weather was like yesterday.

Presidents Day

 


"The blessing and protection of Heaven are at all times necessary but especially so in times of public distress and danger. The General hopes and trusts that every officer and man will endeavor to live and act as becomes a Christian soldier, defending the dearest rights and liberties of his country."

Happy Valentines Day

 


Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.

Blow me down

 Okay, winter is moving fast forward and I know many of you are very happy about that. Here in the south we have lost a lot of our trees and plants to the cold weather that passed through. I think the nurseries are going to be very busy this spring.

Vintage Pink

For Valentine's Day, I like to add soft pinks to highlight the Red Transferware.








 I love the pink depression glass, and you can never have too much pink :-)




Wishing you a sweet Valentine's Day!

Valentines Tea for Two

 

"I am the happiest creature in the world. Perhaps other people have said so before, but not one with such justice. I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh."

Elizabeth Bennet
Pride and Prejudice




Hoping you have a most delightful tea filled Valentine's Day!

Driving through snow

 Several years ago my family traveled north for a short trip. We ended up driving through snow. 

I hope everyone is safe after the big snow storm.

Cold weather meal

I love living in the South. The balmy weather makes for very pleasant days almost year round. But about this time of year, someone always leaves the door open from the frigid North and we get bombarded with pretty cold weather.

So on days like today, I love to make a pot of Chili to serve up hot and filling. Add a little salad on the side and what a great meal to ward off the cold weather.



I love these beautiful dishes that I found at Goodwill a few years ago. I nearly left them because they only had Soup bowls and salad plates. I'm so glad I decided to bring them home.

Soup and Salad dishes - Mornay by Mikasa 
White Chargers - Westbury Court by PTS International
Soup Tureen - Nortake 
White plates with silver rim - Royalton China (my Mom was given a place setting every time we bought gas at the Shell station many years ago. Do you remember those days?)
