Friday!

Hey all. I'm currently in the middle of Dee Henderson's new novel and will have that review to post next week. So today is a little all-over the place. It's Friday. It happens.

First off, how many are ready for Halloween? In case I haven't shared, I loathe Halloween. Oh sure, I'm all about free candy, but the costumes? I'm not about to shell out money for something my kids will wear one night, and I'm not crafty in the least. And my children will not let me bribe them with bags of candy if they only won't dress up...so I'm stuck. It is the one and only thing I can't wait for my kids to grow out of...well, since we're past the diaper stage and all anyway.

Second, is anyone else enjoying an Indian summer? Because we are, and I'm loving it. Warm days, cool nights = perfection.

Third, I want to introduce you to my church, Grand Rapids First. If you are in the West Michigan area, I'm inviting you to church. If you're not, I'm still inviting you and you can catch us on line. It's an hour-and-a-half that could change your life...in an amazing way. Sure, this picture tells you about Big Day, but you can join us any day.

And last, what are you up to this weekend? I'm going to a writer's conference. Yeah me! And while driving there I'm going to listen to the end of Dee Henderson's new novel. The one I'm posting a review to next week. Which brings us full circle...

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

      Yes we will. I was trying to talk to Doug about it last night and his eyes glassed over:)

      Thanks for the prayers, friend!

      They do that, don't they! I was just running low on the energy from September, so this is perfect timing. There's just something about being around other authors and chatting about stories...love!

    It's cold here! We had snow yesterday and today, but it will be warm again next week, like in the 70's. Yeah, with three kiddos, I can understand about not wanting to buy new outfits for Halloween. It's expensive!

    Enjoy your writer's conference!

      Thanks, Cindy. I know I'm the Scrooge of Halloween, aren't I? :) It is so expensive, even when I try to get creative! But they love it, so we do it...and today it turned cold again. Sunny, but oh so cold! That's Michigan for you - 80 yesterday, 40 today!

    Hope you had fin at the writer's conference! And hope you're enjoying Dee's book -- I just won that one last week on a blog giveaway. :D

    On Saturday I did some much needed relaxing, in between being a "mom taxi."
    On Sunday, we spent the day with family celebrating my mom's birthday. Today, I'm back to subbing in kindergarten. :-)

    On the subject of Halloween, I'm not a huge fan either. I'm glad our girls are older, and are leaving the "I need a costume" stage. But we'll carve pumpkins, eat donuts, drink cider, eat chili, pass out candy, and take our son out for a little trick or treating. It'll be fun, but like you, it's not my favorite. ;-)

    Thanks for sharing your church link -- I'll check it out. Have a great week!
