Hello Darlings! We’re going to do things a little differently this coming week. Once in a blue moon we end up with extra days at the end of the month and we scratch our heads about ways to fill ’em.

Tomorrow on Monday:

Author SANDI HAMPTON will guest blog. She’ll keep us entertained with tidbits about cattle drives, some challenges and hardships you might not know anything about being city gals and all. She’ll also talk about her new book, Last Chance For Love. Miss Sandi is a brand new author and she needs folks to make her feel at home. This publishing business is downright scary and Miss Sandi is a little jittery. So, come on by and help calm her nerves. That’s Monday, now. Don’t forget.

Tuesday — Mary Connealy will blog. She always has something interesting to say.

Wednesday — A Tribute to two Fillies who are up for the prestigious RITA Award! The award ceremony will be held in San Francisco. Send them your best wishes.

Thursday live from San Francisco. Some of the Fillies will post pictures and blogs live from the Romance of America Conference. Bet we’ll see lots of smiling faces and reports brimming with excitement. Ah can’t wait to see what they post!! Lord have mercy!

On Friday we’ll have a special treat. The gals from the website LOVE WESTERN ROMANCES will cross the river and ride over to Wildflower Junction to talk about books, authors, and all kinds of things. Ah know they’ll be full of interesting subjects. Shoot, they might even give some help with these durn mules that keep me hopping! They darn near wear me out keeping the fool animals out of my garden!

Miss Donna Alward will wrap up the week on Saturday, August 2nd. She has some rip-roaring stories about rodeoing at the Calgary Stampede. She has some gorgeous pictures to show us too. Ah know you don’t want to miss her! Miss Donna does love her cowboys no matter what kind of package they come wrapped in. The dear girl is a woman after my own heart. She’ll be giving us a glimpse of her latest book, Falling For Mr. Dark and Dangerous.

Check in every day because you never know what you’ll see!

Tomorrow just happens to be National Cowboy Day. Yippee! Bet’cha didn’t know that. Well, it is. And the Fillies are celebrating. I’m gonna find my rope and get ready to lasso me one sexy hunk of man!

Come and help us celebrate. The more the merrier. Just get your own cowboy because you ain’t gonna take mine! He’s spoken for. Before it’s over I’m gonna have him bagged, branded, and bedded. Just you wait and see. *wink*  

A Louisiana gal, Miss Lenora Worth, will arrive here tomorrow. Yippee!

Miss Lenora will bring us the subject of a Texas helicopter pilot who’s a modern day cowboy. Instead of wrestling steers he wrestles a flying machine. You gotta have guts and nerves of steel for both. And a whole lot of love for our country.

If you want to learn more about Homecoming Heroes and a larger-than-life Texan, then aim your horse over toward Wildflower Junction tomorrow. You’ll have a good time. Ah promise. 

Saturdays with old friends…you can’t beat that with a stick.

Miss Lenora Worth will come calling to talk about a subject near and dear to her heart.

She’s enthralled with the U.S. military and the sacrifices our men and women make for their country. Miss Lenora’s other passion is the Hometown Heroes Series that her newest Steeple Hill book is a part. “Lone Star Secrets” features a Texas hero with a Texas-sized heart.

Ah don’t care how you get here Saturday. You can sashay, mosey, or prance. Ah don’t care. Just so you get here. It won’t be as much fun without your smiling face! And bring a flag you can wave.

In case you’ve forgotten, Missus Maureen McKade will be entertaining us tomorrow.

The dear sweet lady will tell us why she reads western romance and why you should too. Do you have a list of reasons? Do you need a list? You’ll get a chance tomorrow to share your thoughts.

 Missus Maureen will also be talking about her newest book, “A Reason to Sin.” Ah already know quite a few reasons myself! Hee-hee!

So, if you don’t have anything better to do, join us for some rollickin’ fun. And if you do have something better you need to do, postpone it! Maureen will appreciate it and the Fillies will be oh so obliged if you stop by.

Quilt Lady, you won a copy of Michele Ann Young’s book. I need you to send your address to me at SaintJohn@aol.com

thanks
