Pollen Woes and Wedding Who Knows...

Hello Friends!

Well, it’s official. We can’t leave the inside door to the screened porch open for a while. Last week we had a record pollen count in Georgia, something above 14,000. 

Yikes! 

As much as we must do to make the small yard area in our wooded lot look like a yard as well as remodel the bathroom, we just couldn’t do a thing last weekend. We spent 4 days barely moving (my husband slept a lot, which was much needed and deserved) recovering from that pollen count. I still look like someone punched me in the eyes because they’re so red and swollen. 

We finally started taking allergy meds, which neither of us want to do. I haven’t found any local honey from here just yet, but hopefully, I will soon. Not that it’s going to help now, but it’s worth a shot. The count is only in the 5,000 now, which is still high for most places but is a lot less for us. 

From what I understand, wedding planning is going strong. I get updates from my daughter (and have been doing some things for it and the shower) but the boy? 

Crickets. 

I’ve asked him a few questions recently. Here’s our conversation. 

Me: Did y’all pick out colors yet?

Him: I don’t know. 

Me: Did you pick out a mother/son dance song yet? 

Him: I don’t know. 

Me: Did you send out the save the date cards yet?

Him: I don’t know. 

In comparison my daughter could talk for an hour about the save the date cards alone (and she sent them out a while ago.) 

Boys. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I think I’m just going to show up to his wedding and not worry. I know his gal, and she’s an organizer, so I’m sure it’s all going smoothly. (I hope!) 

This weekend (through Monday,) my Angela Panther book, Unbreakable Bonds, is free. Most of the books in the series are on sale for 99¢ too, so if you haven’t read those cozy-ish mysteries, give them a looksie here.https://amzn.to/4ijupp9

Or just grab Unbreakable Bonds here. https://amzn.to/3RvZtpB

Spirit of Suspicion released already, and I apologize for not letting you know, but again, the allergies hit hard. You can grab that Chantilly Adair cozy mystery here. https://amzn.to/427JDYY

Chantilly also has another book on preorder, Ghosted by Murder. You can get it here. 

The Witch is Back, the next Witches of Holiday Hills book is up for preorder and should be out in a few weeks. So much earlier than the preorder says! I hope you’ll grab it now, so it downloads into your Kindle magically the day it releases. (See what I did there?) You can preorder it here. https://amzn.to/3XxYj0v

Lily also has a book on preorder, Title Deeds and Death, which you can preorder here. https://amzn.to/3QZMAUL

Happy spring!
