Dr. G and I wish everyone a safe and food-filled Labor Day.
We just got back from the Decatur Book Festival in Georgia--what a wonderful time, though I do believe Teeny Templeton got us lost on I-285 in Atlanta. :-)
On the way home, we stopped by Publix. Today, I'm making macaroni and cheese...
barbecued ribs ...
and yeast rolls.
Today I have been thinking about labor-intensive projects. I've (almost) finished a new book. A Teeny Bit of Trouble) will be in bookstores in April 2012. I must say...I've enjoyed my time off this past week. I am grabbing a few moments to blog--something I love and miss. Agggg, why can't I find more hours in the day?! I haven't had much time this year to enjoy the farm...but I sure made time to eat. And eat.
A few days ago, Dr. G and I grabbed the camera and took a few photos around the farm. Our ducks and geese have grown so much!
Here's a peek as they stroll from the small pond to the big pond:
Tomorrow, I start back to work. I don't think I'm the only one!!!
I wanted to announce the contest winners from Teeny's blog, The World According to Teeny.

Piper Maitland's book, Acquainted With the Night, is a vampire mystery/thriller/romance (I'm not sure what to call it, but you can read about it at http://booksellers.penguin.com/static/pdf/berkley-dec11.pdf . Just scroll down to page 2). The book has received early praise from the fabulous New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon, which was an honor and a thrill.
AWTN will be featured at Comic Con in New York City (if you're going that way in October).
As always, thanks for visiting the blog/s!
Love you all,
XOXO
