Welcome to Day 5 of Cowboys & Mistletoe (Week 1)

Here are the Charms and clues for today, presented in no particular order:

I chose a music note to represent my story because until I fled for my safety, singing was both a pleasure and my career. I never imagined using my voice again, until a stranger shared his story and I learned I had the right to choose how to use my gift.

I chose a dog—specifically a sweet border collie—as my clue because of the distressing trouble haunting my beloved Christmas store. A handsome rancher who’s caught my  eye, then most decidedly my heart, loans me his guard dog, Zema, in hopes that will send the intruder packing.

POST 1 OF 2 FOR FRIDAY
CHRISTMAS STOCKING SWEETHEARTS Book 8
Winnie Griggs’ Hear Harold’s Angel Sing

One silent child. Two lonely hearts. Three lives changed by a Texas Christmas.

Emma Garland has worked hard to rebuild her life and reputation after a very public, painful rejection years ago. Now Crossvine’s respected piano teacher, she’s content with her quiet life—until the day she confronts Marshal Harold Winters about keeping his traumatized, silent niece in his office near the jail cells while he works.

Despite some misgivings, Emma agrees to help care for Lucy while the marshal’s housekeeper is away. Her own childhood struggles with a stammer help her understand Lucy’s pain, but Emma is determined to maintain professional distance. She knows all too well how quickly a woman of her status can become the subject of town gossip.

When Emma receives a beautiful handmade Christmas stocking from her former piano teacher, its message that “Music Speaks” touches something deep within her. As she, Lucy, and Harold work together decorating for Christmas, she finds her carefully constructed walls crumbling. But with long-buried secrets threatening their growing bond, Emma must decide if the promise of love is worth risking her heart again.

  2. A trip to my husband’s and my “heritage” countries: Ireland for me and Poland for him. My husband Ron would be my companion.

  9. I’d go to New Zealand (with a possible side trip to Australia), and my husband would go with me.

  13. I would say I am going to Alaska to see the Aurora Borialis and wildlife and scenery, but I’m not sure who would want to go with me because I wouldn’t go in the summer. Also I can’t travel, so I would gift it to my parents who never went on a honeymoon.

  14. Probably Alaska, but I don’t know who I would pick to take. Maybe I could purchase a few more tickets so my whole family could go 🙂

  18. I would go on the train from Ottawa to Vancouver to see the Canadian Rockies. I would take my sister.

  21. I’d love to visit Biltmore Mansion in Asheville, North Carolina with my husband. I love old architecture and have visited several historical homes.

  23. My first attempt didn’t seem to post.

    I would visit the national parks of Wyoming and Montana with my husband. This is such a fun project with all the author posts and comments from followers!

  24. I would love to visit Las Vegas during the championship rodeo that is held there, ever since I read Shanna’s books I’ve wanted to go visit, with my family

  27. My stocking holds two tickets to Paris. I would take my husband with me. It would be wonderful to experience it together. Thank you for the opportunity. God bless you.

  28. It is a ticket for a cruise, the inside passage to Alaska from Seattle, Wash. I would take my husband of 59 years with me. He’s still my only sweetheart.

  29. I would go to the Grand Canyon and go see Crazy Horse memorial with one of my daughters, probably the oldest as she likes history.

  30. I would go to the Grand Canyon and then see Crazy Horse memorial with one of my daughters, probably the oldest as she likes history.

  33. Wow! Two tickets for us to use…. I, would go someplace warm…California, Florida or ? and I, would take my hubby. Always take care of each other…

  37. The tickets would be to go to Italy and it would be my husband and I. My husband because he is half Italian and I think that would be nice for him to go.
