Bull Riders, Blackjack, and Novel News!


Happy Sunday friends!  Hope you're having a great weekend.  I was a little MIA yesterday from blogging/twitter because I spent the day with my brother and sister-in-law at the PBR (Professional Bull Riders Association) event at Pala Casino in Temecula, CA.  It was so much fun and the weather was absolutely gorgeous!


After we watched the event, we headed over to the casino where I did not fare too well on blackjack.  I hate losing.  But at least I got a cute hat and got to look at some cowboys so all was good.  




(Seriously why were all 3 of these guys dressed exactly the same, boots, belts, shirts, jeans?)



We finished out the day by stopping at Chronic Tacos in Dana Point.  It was a little cold, but the food and atmosphere was great.  I feel so truly blessed to have such a great relationship with my brother and sister-in-law.  I'm so happy they moved back from Ohio and we can spend more time together.  Yesterday was a blast and I can't wait to share more of them.  What did you do?

Great news!!!  My novel is now available in paperback on Create Space!  If you want to get a copy of Murder on the Boulevard, you can order here immediately, or you will have to wait a week or so to get it on Amazon.  Why wait?  Go get a copy now!  I'm dying to hear what you think!  Have a great day friends!

It looks like a fun time. I want to go to a rodeo so I can see some cute cowboys. I like how you took a picture of those three cowboys from the back, thanks for sharing! ;) I love the hat you wore. xoxo

I live in the Northeast...so I haven't been to a rodeo in years. Two of my cousins are semi-pro (or so I'm told). Looking at the cute cowboys is fun. :-)

Oh, and I'm dropping by from Kathie's no rules blog tour!
