I'm enjoying this getting to know you month, as well.<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! We're doing okay, we're blessed that his nursing home is wonderful and he's really thriving there. I never imagined I'd say that about a nursing home, but we're very lucky.<br /><br />I know what your husband means, LOL. My mom used to say first borns are always good babies--it's God's way of tricking us into having more. *G*<br /><br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />NicNicole McCaffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438102631578521381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-54436941017813440922011-08-24T19:43:20.680-05:002011-08-24T19:43:20.680-05:00Hi Nicole,

I am so glad to get to know more about you and your life--I think this getting to know one another thing was a great idea---and I think it was Celia's, if I'm not mistaken. You have a lovely family and it sounds as if things progressed as they should in the writing and career realm for you, along with the family aspect. Like you, my first baby, Jessica, was perfect--slept, was cheery and never a problem. When I had my son, Casey, it was a totally different story, and my husband used to say that if he'd been first, he would have been an only child. LOL Thanks so much for giving us this glimpse of your life. I'm also a Wild Rose Press author, with two novels and a short story there. <br /><br />I am so sorry to hear about your dear dad. That happened to my mom before she eventually passed away, so I know how very hard it is for you. <br /><br />Take care, and again, thanks for sharing with all of us about your life and your writing.<br />Hugs,<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-82170655310763858452011-08-24T05:41:04.546-05:002011-08-24T05:41:04.546-05:00Hi Tanya!

I enjoyed both Marrying Mattie and Marrying Minda--I think you started writing at the time that was just right for you! <br /><br />Thanks so much for your kind comment about my dad.

Your homestead sounds so lovely...I'm jealous LOL. I'm so impressed that you started writing with two little ones around. I waited until mine were in college and still lament my late start. At least it keeps me busy in my old age...I'm a Wild Rose western author, too. <br /><br />Your sweet dad has touched my heart. Please give him a hug for me!Tanya Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580821680629254085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-82079025361381911662011-08-23T13:56:35.609-05:002011-08-23T13:56:35.609-05:00Celia, I'm so sorry to hear your mom passed. ...Celia, I'm so sorry to hear your mom passed. I knew she wasn't well but hadn't realized she'd passed on. Please accept my condolences.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words. It was hard to write, LOL. I know as authors we're supposed to get out there and promote by talking about ourselves, but it's hard when you're as shy as I am, LOL.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />NicNicole McCaffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438102631578521381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-19092056283410951832011-08-23T13:55:33.002-05:002011-08-23T13:55:33.002-05:00Thanks, Jeanmarie.

I thoroughly enjoyed every word, and I love the photos of your yard. Just gorgeous. <br />I never suffered from empty nest syndrome when my two went to school, college, or got married. The events always seemed like a gift that I could use--and I did--I learned, too.<br /><br />I apologize for not promoting your post as I have the others. (My elderly mother passed away and I was out of town.)<br />I think you've done a grand job on "all about me."<br />Thanks---CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-18935918643870879202011-08-23T01:29:32.868-05:002011-08-23T01:29:32.868-05:00Nic,

Sounds like a beautiful setting for raising a family and writing. <br />Your pets look very content too.Jeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-91146641012117032112011-08-22T14:32:54.528-05:002011-08-22T14:32:54.528-05:00Paisley, LOL, you are sooo not kidding.

Then the boys decided they wanted to climb the "crows nest" --where you climb steps up the side of the cliff that take you right to the edge of the Falls. Talk about drenched! <br /><br />When we got back down, I literally poured about a cup of water out of each shoe and wrung twice that much from each sock, LOL. I was glad I'd thought to bring us all a change of shoes, but it was a long (squishy!) walk back to the car. <br /><br />Thanks for your kind words. I hope to be reading your westerns soon! (hint hint)<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />NicNicole McCaffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17438102631578521381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-52641495891927435962011-08-22T14:27:55.020-05:002011-08-22T14:27:55.020-05:00Thanks, Caroline.

I learned so many new things about you after all these years.<br /><br />I am SO jealous - I love the Maid of the Mist ride which is sort of like taking a public shower. :) Our Swedish kids lived in Ottawa for a while and drove us to the falls. Thanks for reminding me of the treat they gave us.<br /><br />I do have your historical and hoping to get to reading it soon. I loved being part of the creation of this fun story and want to find out what happened to your great hero. <br /><br />Keep on writing those stories.

I envy you your lovely environment at home while we're sweltering in 110 degrees here and all our plants and trees are dying because our lows at night are in the mid 80's.
