ACFW announces 2010 ACFW Carol Awards

Here are this year’s finalists:
Debut Author
Bonnie Grove –
I have a complaint.
See, I’ve been traveling this past month – quite a lot (hello Louisiana, and Oklahoma and Portland!) And I was thrilled when I was able to work in a quick trip down to Minneapolis to see my newborn niece, Ellie Lund. She’s adorable!
However….
Well, I’m not sure what’s going on here but….
The Bean.
My daughter is a junior in high school, so we’ve begun the college search. Although I’ve been on the road for a few weeks, to such places as Sioux Falls, SD, Fargo, ND, Fosston, MN, and even Monroe, Louisiana – I squeezed in a quick trip to Chicago to visit North Park University.
We went there because my daughter loves schools with columns.
Back in the Day!
Pops had big hands.(Picture is of Pops, and my mother in front, and her youngest brother,
John behind her. ) Wide and strong and they would sweep me up and hold me over his head. His silver gray hair was always Bryl-creamed back. He had eyes that twinkled when his granddaughter walked into the room.
February Fun!
Okay, so, I know I didn’t blog much in February. It’s because, well, I was offline. Having…fun!
First, there was this….
AKA, Dinner out with my hubby for Valentine’s Day. It’s a little frightening, I know, when I’m enthralled with a piece of cake, but this was simply gorgeous (and tasty too).
