So, that time between Christmas and New Year’s …

29 12 2022

What are you reading? I mean, reading for fun. A few weeks ago my choir, the Windward Choral Society, benefited from a book fair when the bookseller donated part of the sales to the choir. You didn’t need to go to the store in person; you could buy online from anywhere. How convenient!

I chose “Once Upon a Puppy” by Lizzie Shane and a you-might-like recommended “Well Traveled,” also a contemporary romance, by Jen DeLuca.

Lizzie Shane is the pen name of my niece Sarah. I already enjoyed her “Twelve Dogs of Christmas” that I passed on to a friend in Pennsylvania at Thanksgiving when I was there.

Our family is so proud of Sarah, er Lizzie. According to her bio on the inside cover, she is “a three-time finalist for RWA’s RITA Award and author of “A Royal Christmas Wish” for Hallmark Publishing — I think I saw that movie!

What better time than now to read for fun?

New year’s blessings to you …

Love,

Rebekah





Home for the holidays

13 12 2022

Baked dozens of cookies, trimmed the tree, sang carols of joy in choir, and started wrapping gifts.

Now DH, JJ and I are enjoying some quiet days until Christmas morning when we’ll call on Mom Ivalee and hanai sister Ruth, and neighbors later in the day. 

Our kids and moʻopuna have plans to be in California with their other grandparents, so we’ll celebrate Christmas with them in January.

Oops! I almost forgot—that means Massimo, a.k.a. Trouble, will be at our house for the holidays!

Have a Merry Christmas, studio fans! Be well.
