Good Sunday morning!
ReplyDeleteHave a cup of coffee from the huge pot I have set up.
Congrats to all winners. Enjoy your loot.
Next week sounds great, but I'll probably miss parts of it SINCE I'LL BE AT CONFERENCE!!!
Helen
Congrats to the winners and YAY Helen! Y'all will have so much FUN!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy some chocolate for me!
Good WE, Tina. Thx for the links.
And thanks to Cheryl. She kick-started me on some writing tonite over on Facebook. *yawn*
But *yawn* gotta hit the hay. Have a great one! Happy end of Constitution day!
HELEN!!!! I CANNOT WAIT TO MEET YOU! HUG YOU!!!! AND IF YOU'RE SHY, I'LL SMACK YOU, LOL!!!!
ReplyDelete:)
Thank you for the coffee, my friend. I'm loving it! And just so looking forward to seeing/meeting/hanging with my Seekervillager friends and buds and cohorts and colleagues and, oh, whatever y'all want to be called today!
I'm leaving early Sunday breakfast because puppy customers are comin' by after church and I will be busy puppying....
And yet another new verb finds its way into the English language, LOL!
We're going with Tim Hortons sweets this morning... And a side of bacon and sausage pizza. So donuts/pastries on the shelving unit, mid-left and breakfast pizza under the warming lights.
And I finished A Family to Cherish this week, a month early, and I LOVE IT... So that means I go to conference ready to think and tackle the next project in Ruthy-land...
Ahead of the curve... ahead of the curve.... Always work ahead of the curve because you NEVER KNOW when life might reach up and smack you upside the head with sickness... Emotional difficulties.... grief.... divorce....
Ahead of the curve.
Just do it. (I love Nike)
Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all of the winners.
Next week looks like a great line up but I'm with Helen, I'll be missing some of it because I'LL BE IN ST. LOUIS!!!!!
Can't wait to meet everyone.
Have a great day.
Rose
GREAT WE, TEENSTER!!! I especially enjoyed the articles about "Show Me the Money" and "Amazon Reviewers Objectivity." I am ALWAYS amazed at the things you find, which means you have to read them first!! How DO you find the time???
ReplyDeleteSUPER CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS!!!
HAPPY WEEKEND, ALL!!
Hugs,
Julie
Congrats to all the winners! Looks like a great week coming up for those of us not heading to St. Louis.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone going to the conference has a blessed time!

Good morning, I'm loving the cooler weather. Had to pull my sweater out to take to church. I love the fall.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to this weeks winners and yippeee I'm so happy to get to read A Marriage for Meghan. Thank you Mary Ellis!
I can't wait to see me some Seekers and Seekervillians in St. Louis. It's not long now. =)
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see the news of Barbara joining the WordServe family in your post. We're so excited to have her joining the agency.
Great WE as always Tina! But I won't be around next week to share in the fun, I'm leaving tomorrow for ACFW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Seekerville. I'm just off a week in the Pacific Northwest. Spectacular scenery. Mount Ranier revealed herself on a cloudless day!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the salmon, and oysters and crab were fantabulous and freshly caught off our friend's dock.
I am now an Ivar's clam chowder addict as well.
Hope all you ACFW conference goers have a great time.
I'll stay behind to hold down Seekerville and I guess that means giveaways!!!
Lots of them as well.
Catching up on my mailings AND cleaning out the Seekerville mailbox and forwarding to the correct Seeker. So you can expect to get your mailings and critiques soon. Thanks for your patience.
Great WE, Tina (as usual)
ReplyDeleteand congrats to all the winners!!
Can't wait to see everyone in St. Louie
Casey and I are going to be posting over at the Alley Friday-Sunday- direct from St. Lou.
Tina- I HOPE we can meet next time!
It eases the pain to know there are others not going to St. Louis--looking forward to our own party on Friday in Seekerville!
ReplyDeleteI know what a blessing conference time is and I'm looking forward to hearing lots of great reports and seeing all the photos.
I'm praying everyone has a wonderful week, whether at the conference or at home. Let's all be productive, learn something new, write pages, encourage one another to think BIG, step out in faith and then pat ourselves on the back next week when we've returned to our routines!
ReplyDeleteTina~
ReplyDeleteI'll be here for all the giveaways next week. I feel sure I'm the only ACFW member who lives in Missouri and is not going to St. Louis.
Oh my gosh, for the stay-at-homes, here's what I do....
ReplyDelete(THERE ARE REAMS OF EXPERIENCE BEHIND THIS ADVICE... YEAR AFTER YEAR...)
1. I work/write/edit/enter/submit
2. I work/write/edit/enter/submit
3. I work/write/edit/enter/submit
Then I eat and drink coffee.
Wait.
This does not sound much different than my normal routine... ;)
So that's my advice. I love going to conferences, but...
I HATE MISSING WORK TIME.
Yes, I'm a freak.
But I love writing... working...editing...
So much.
Congrats to the winners. Looking forward to next week and hanging out with other left behind seekers. Tina, glad to hear you had such a great time last week. My kind of vacation.
ReplyDeleteI still can hardly believe I'm going to the conference, but sooooo grateful! God is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, Ruthy, that I have met Helen and she is absolutely adorable. You will love meeting her!
ReplyDeleteOh, Deb, I will miss you at the conference. I so wish you were going. Hugs hugs hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great WE! I've been gone most of the day so just got here.
ReplyDeleteHope you all had a great weekend. And that you conference goers have safe travels and a wonderful week!!
Congratulations to the winners! I enjoyed the WE, too. Since I'm
ReplyDeletenot going to ACFW either, I'll join you other stay-behinders for the week. Looking forward to these promising posts.
Oh, I wanted to ask you to consider me for the weekly critique drawing. I'm writing a contemporary married romance (does that count as a romance?). My targeted publisher would either be Bethany House or Tyndale.
Thank you for all y'all do to help us move forward in the writing journey!
Melanie, you are so kind.
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted that you are going to get to attend. I'll be watching for you.
Helen
