At the Beach!

In our family, there's a chorus that we often sing together...

🎜🎝At the beach...that's where I want to be.🎜🎝

At the beach...Baby, come go with me!

🎜🎝

And here I am!

I wish you were walking along beside me!

Almost there!! 

Oh my goodness!! Doesn't God's creation astound you??? It does me!

This morning I strolled along the sand beside those rolling waters singing praise to Him!

I'm so in awe of His goodness and glory!

Here's another little glimpse at His goodness....

Gracie, Grover, and Grandy Groundhog Go to Elevation!

Author Visits are among my favorite things! Elevation Church is among my favorite churches!

Put the two together and it's a winning combination!

The icing on this bookish cake is that 2 of my grandbabies were there to assist!

This handsome little man introduced Grandy Groundhog and me to his classmates!

They were totally adorable and such amazing listeners!

Then this beauty, my firstborn grand, introduced us to her friends!

Wow! They were incredible! So attentive and with such thoughtful questions!

Surely some future writers there!

Because both groups were so engaged, they got to use their imaginations as I read the manuscript for my upcoming book...Gracie & Grover Go to the Beach! 

God's goodness and grace truly is amazing! I'm so thankful for the opportunities He showers and the groundhoggy blessings He provides!

Groundhog Day with Sir Walter Wally!

What an Amazing Day!

Sir Walter Wally and I got in some good snuggles!

I had the awesome privilege of mingling with readers of all ages

while they waited in line for a closeup visit with Sir Walter Wally!!

This sweet Dad read the whole G is for Groundhog book to his precious girls!

 All the feels!

I love teachers!!

It blesses my heart to know that my books are being shared in classrooms!

This is my treasured friend, Denise Shadduck, Wally's "Mommy"!

I've enjoyed the gift of her friendship since we met at the 

NC Museum of Natural Sciences several years ago.

She was so kind and gracious to give me the opportunity

to be the "entertainment" and book signer,

while folks waited in line for the celebrity of the day!

The day was topped off by making Instagram posts of Groundhog loving friends!

All I can say is that our God surely has a sense of humor,

and I wouldn't trade this groundhoggy adventure for anything!

Let the Celebration Begin!
