Re: Ward Against Death (8:19pm August 27, 2011):

Your book sounds terrific, Melanie! I have a copy of it in my TBR pile. :) I'm very lucky that I already have my dream job: writing books! However, in an alternate universe, I'd love to be a jeweler and design my own creations with precious metals and gemstones.

Re: Lucky Girl (9:03am August 24, 2011):

Thanks so much to everyone who commented! I loved reading
about your first dates. Lots of wonderful stories here. :)

Re: Lucky Girl (4:10pm August 23, 2011):

Lynn, tee hee! The Brit doesn't have a twin brother,
unfortunately, but if he did, I'd gladly send him to Madison.
:) I'd be sure to buy him some black olives, too. ;)

Re: Lucky Girl (4:07pm August 23, 2011):

Lisa, thanks for your good wishes. :)

Linda, I laughed out loud when I read about the beetle! :)
Thank goodness you didn't swallow it!
Shelly and Colleen, thanks for stopping by today.
Desiree, what a wonderful story! You deserved those roses,
my dear, and I'm so glad you got that signed album.
Darci, sounds like a good first date to me.

Lucianne, thanks! How neat that you're from Ireland. It's on
my list of places to visit someday. I've heard it's
beautiful.

Wilma, thanks for commenting!
Christine, Aww! At least you have those memories of your

first date!

Rachel, I'm waving back atcha, my friend! And yes, Lucky Girl
will always be a special book to me because it's partially
inspired by The Brit.

Re: Lucky Girl (3:49pm August 23, 2011):

Aubrie, thanks for your kind words and for stopping by! :)
I'm looking forward to visiting your blog on my tour.

Re: Lucky Girl (3:40pm August 23, 2011):

Patti, I can only imagine how embarrassing it must have been
when the strap on your dress broke, especially at that tender
age. Yikes! Thank goodness you can laugh about it now.

Re: Lucky Girl (9:28am August 23, 2011):

Wynter, my talented friend, it's great to see you here! :)
Yes, the black olive incident was pretty darned funny. I'll
never forget that one. Thanks for commenting. :)

definitely a fun story.

Stephanie, sounds like you have a talented mom! :) I admire
anyone who can knit; I'm hopeless at it. Thanks for stopping
by today.

Re: Lucky Girl (9:24am August 23, 2011):

too.

memories for me, too. :)

Marjorie, that blind date was definitely meant to be. Married
49 years? Wow. Congratulations.

Cate (Great name,BTW!), hugs on being a klutz. Don't tell
anyone, but I'm a bit of a klutz too. :)

Karen, that's fabulous! Congrats, by the way, on 45 years of
marriage. That's definitely a milestone these days.

wanted to read more. Congrats on your debut book; it's going
on my "to buy" list.
