Robert Bloeser Oil Painting

For all my art loving friends, here's a rare find. I've listed a beautiful Robert Bloeser painting. Check it out. Not only is this a beautiful ocean painting, but it's also romantic.

As Parents & grandparents......

As parents and grandparents we should always,,,,

  1. Be the mosquito repellent they need to keep the bugs (bad-guys) away.
  2. Keep them on the same pedestal as the one you put them on the day they were born. If you thought they were smart then, they are just as smart or more so when they are twenty.
  3.  Never change your vision of them.
  4.  Encourage them to succeed.
  5. Don't have them unless you are willing to make sacrifices.
  6.  Kiss them good morning and good night.
  7. Never be jealous of them. 
  8. Encourage them to do better than you.
  9. School and homework are not an option, they are a requirement. Even if your parents did not make it yours.
  10. Love and respect them. Spoil them,,,, in the good ways. 
************************************************************
I have two kids and four grand kids. I love them all very much. I respect them and their choices and I know the feelings are mutual. So I guess I'M BRAGGING,,,, Thanks for letting me.

Have an awesome day,

Woes

Wrapped up in the woes of erotica. Good grief, it cant be that hard ((Pun))
But seriously, it is. And I would imagine that writing erotica is for most authors of romance, one of their greatest challenges. Not the romance, or the story building, but the actual scene. ((you know what I mean))
My books might not end up with the most dog eared pages on my readers book shelves. But I had fun trying and learning along the way.
Have a fun day,
Diane

Fantasy,,, or not!

Who likes fantasy romance?
I know it is a hot topic within the romance genre nowadays, and I was wondering what readers thought about it. Are you getting sick of Vampires and Werewolves?
Lets not include "True Blood" because I'm pretty hooked on that series. But what about others.
Let me know... I'm gathering opinions for my new project.

Have a nice Saturday,
