MONDAY MUSINGS: THE NEWEST MATCHMAKER BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE!

To Move the World (Power of the Matchmaker) by [Sirois, Regina]


This one is loaded on my kindle and ready to go!

Here's the blurb:

Eve Brannon never had to bother planning out her future. In the Yorkshire dales where life is harder, it is also simpler. Next in line to inherit her family's farm, she will raise another generation of children and sheep high in the uplands of England. Waiting until next year when she is 19 to marry her father's handsome hired hand, Alan, is the detail she added herself. 

But in 1939 even the most stalwart corners of the world are vibrating with the tremors of change. Eve's long-anticipated proposal comes on the wings of losing Alan to the Royal Army and at the brink of the farm's profitable war years the sheep herd is decimated by a mysterious illness. With her steady future suddenly in the clutches of a capricious fate, Eve is introduced to Jonathon Doran, a land manager anxious to prove himself in a crisis, and she discovers that the solid earth beneath her feet is moving after all.


In other news:

Remember the below picture I posted from July? It's of my parents with my daughter and my grandchildren.


It is supposed to be a picture of my parents with their great grandchildren. My daughter is in the picture since their newest great grandchild is in her tummy. Notice my mother is pointing to my daughter's belly.

Yep, that's grandbaby #5 for me in there!

And guess what? SHE'S about to enter the world ANY DAY NOW!
Notice I said SHE! Yes, after four grandsons (one in heaven), I'm about to have a granddaughter!!!
We are ready to take off as soon as my daughter has the baby. She lives in Idaho and we live in Texas, so we will drive up to Idaho as soon as we get word.
So, if you notice that I'm missing for the next few weeks, it's because I'll be in Idaho holding my brand new granddaughter!
I'm just a little bit excited.

And, yes, I will close down my blog while we are gone. Wordless Wednesday will continue as usual as soon as I return home.

Of course, I will post pictures as soon as I have them!!!

But, until we get that call, it's business as usual.

Hope your Monday is wonderful!

    1. Thanks, I'm very excited to meet her. Don't know what her name will be yet. My daughter and her hubby have a name picked out, but it is still up for debate!
      I haven't read this new book yet either, but I think it sounds really good.

    1. They really have brought me so much joy as well. I felt as though motherhood was over--and then, the grandchildren entered my life! I don't get to see my grandbabies in Idaho very often, so I'm super excited to have this time with them. Thank goodness one grandbaby lives close. At least I get to see him often.

    1. Thanks, Laura! I finally joined kindle unlimited. That way I can read all the books I've been dying to read and not feel as though I'm spending a fortune. Hopefully Santa will be good to you this year!!

  5. Such a wonderful time for your family! My baby girl was born on the 18th last year, can't believe it's been a year already. Texas to Idaho is a long trip but it's a wonderful place! My hubby and I live in Twin Falls!
    I downloaded the new book yesterday, can't wait to read it

    1. What?!! That's where my daughter lives as well!!! It is a beautiful place! I love it there. If you see me in Wal-Mart spoiling (wrangling) my grandsons and buying more baby girl clothes, come on over and say hello!!! Such a cool coincidence!
