You like me! You really like me!



I was just given the honor of my first blog award, from my good friend Tima!  Thank you!!!

But wait, there are rules to this award.  I thought it was just something pretty and shiny I could put on my sidebar, but I've actually got to do some work to keep it! ;)

Rule #1:  Thank my giver. 

Stop on over at Living in Dar and see what great book Tima is reading
or just to enjoy the pretty pictures of Dar.

Rule #2: Share 7 things the readers might not know about me.  Let's see......

  1. I was my high school's valedictorian.
  2. I majored in college in deaf education, but junior year changed to history.  Ended up getting my M.A.
  3. I have a mark on my back in the shape of an "S", it popped up sometime when I was in grade school.  Kind of weird, since my name is Sarah.......
  4. I hate to exercise, or do any sort of activity that leads to sweating, but I am signed up for a 5K in May.
  5. Weird things happen to me - I got attacked by a goose one time on campus. He chased me down a path.  It was pretty funny to onlookers.
  6. I'm scared of spiders, but I once wore a (live) mini-python around my neck.
  7. I won $1,000 on a scratch lottery card a few years back.
Rule #3:  Share the award with others!

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns  from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it.  After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In  When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke.  He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before.  He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities.  Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives.  Despite ...

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

The countdown to Hallowe'en begins! Please note this is not the actual number of days until Hallowe'en. The picture was taken two days ago. The house is totally decorated, although I still could use a few more things ;) One of the cool new decorations I bought this year are these Halloween Pumpkin Wall Decals from Kohls.  I love them!  My structured, OCD self feels the mantle is too cluttered, but the spooky side of me just doesn't care. ;) How do you decorate for Hallowe'en?

A Spooky Celebration

Far off in a field, in central Illinois, there lies a patch of pumpkins of the magical kind.    No one knows where they come from; they appear every October, yet no one ever plants a seed. Rare in nature is the person who finds this field.  It is said that only those with a touch of magick in their hearts can find this place.  As you walks delicately through the vines, you cannot help but feel a slight tremor upon nearing this particular pumpkin:  Stooping down to take a peek, you hear the faint humming of a song... What could that be? A party? A celebration? A wedding! The guests are arriving: The bouquet is prepared: Guests are seated: The "best men" take their places:  And now, the moment they've all been waiting for.... Let the celebration begin! But first, a wedding blessing: Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the ...
