Dear Reader,

This weekend is Father's Day. If you want a project for your children to do, you can download the pages for dads from my All About Bundle - a perk of being a subscriber! All About My Dad.pdf​

This year for Father's Day, I got my husband socks. Even though that's a "textbook gift" for the occasion, I'm a little unsure about giving them to him because of what happened last time I got him socks. That was for his birthday a few months before we got married. So, yeah, it's been a while. Don't worry, he's bought himself socks since, so he's well-stocked.

Now, I don't think the socks gave him any grief before we got married, but once mixed with my laundry, we realized that these socks had the unfortunate tendency to collect long hair. A lot of hair. And it was time-consuming to pick it all off before wearing the socks. My husband is a gracious person, and he never complains about it, but I know if I see him putting on those socks, it's time to do laundry, because they're probably the last ones in his drawer.

So, we'll see how these socks turn out!

Socks aside, I have finally finished Book 4. Proofreading took a while, and I did my best to cut out more of the chit-chat dialog so it's hopefully easier to read now. I always enjoy feedback from my test readers; some of it makes me laugh out loud. More than one pointed out the phrase "Lucy twisted around her watch". One said, "Wow, Lucy must have a really big watch if she can twist around it!" So, I reworded that. Same with "Esther slid over the plate" because evidently one beta reader thought Esther got on the table and slid herself over the plate. One reader caught about 20 spots where I was completely missing a word, like where I wrote "It can't prevented" instead of "It can't be prevented". It's nice to have a variety of readers that are good at noticing different things!

Not a single reader flagged the two instances of "Gramp seed dressing", so evidently, they all think it's a real recipe. In reality, I changed the grandfather's name from Poppy to Gramp by using the find and replace feature in Microsoft Word...!

Here is the cover image. I wish it was ready for you to read right now, but printing will take a bit, so the picture will have to suffice. Stay tuned for its release, along with another book I'm excited to share with you!

Also, here's the back cover description:

Finally, there's just a few days left to get the products in the School's Out Bundle.

I've included my Scavenger Hunts in the regular bundle and my Show Your Love bundle in the premium bundle, so don't miss those!

Until next time,
