On Saturday I mentioned that I will be having a guest blogger on Thursday. A few months ago, I was emailed by Heidi Thomas asking if I wanted to host a post on her book's blog tour. Of course! The book sounded right up my alley. Besides, Heidi is a fellow northwest resident, so I was pretty honored and excited to help spread the word of her book.So here is the plan. On Thursday, I will be posting a historical perspective on cowgirl attire, written by Heidi. Hold your horses ladies! It might be a little....um, racy. Wink, wink. How's that for a teaser?
Also on Thursday, I will be having a giveaway! At the end of the Thursday post, I will be asking a question. If you want to be entered in the drawing, answer the question in the comments section. Saturday at midnight will be the deadline for entering. On Sunday, I will draw a winner and they will receive an autographed copy of Heidi's book. And because I have a decent sized box to mail the book in and plenty of room to spare, I will add in some extra gifts! The results will be posted Sunday, along with an excerpt of the book. Which is a really good read, by the way. The book's main character, Nettie, is based on Heidi's grandmother. That is all I'm going to say for now!
I'll leave you with this picture. My Boy is either trying to eat the black box that takes up so much of my attention....or maybe he wants to try his hoof at photography??
Back away from the camera bag, my spotted pill!I hope you are all having a special Memorial day weekend, whether you are BBQing or reflecting on lost loved ones.
Ohh can't wait until Thursday!!! Sounds very interesting!!
ReplyDeleteHey sounds intriguing! I'll be back....oh wait that's Arnold's line! LOL! Hope you're getting a ride in today! I plan to!
ReplyDeletesounds like an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI'm in! Looks like a great cowgirl read. "Spotted pill" That cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteYou'll love doing a giveaway. They are fun!
Looking forward to it! I've bought several books on historical cowgirls. Those ladies were gutsy! So are the cowgirls in our time but in the past, they were up against more "stuff". Just wearing pants was a scandal! :)
ReplyDeleteIntriguing! She sounds like an interesting author and I always love to support locals! Hope you have a great day today!
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! Looks like an interesting book! And like jrosey, I do like to support locals! Can't wait to read about it!
ReplyDeleteLove your new header pic too! Good luck with all of your end of the school year adventures!
Sounds exiting !
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being asked to be a guest writer on a blog Cuz! What an honor. I'll be sure to tune in. You should have come down this weekend, you missed the newest member of the family, a teeny tint little Angel baby! She's a beautiful little girl, we were all surprised when her Mommy showed up with her. Have a great day today, I hope you get a good ride in!
ReplyDelete{Sares}~ I wasn't asked to be a guest writer, now that would be cool! ;) I am just hosting an author. Say, did the little angel's name start with the letter W?? I was hoping to come next weekend but I have to write report cards, so now it's being pushed until I'm done with school. Then I can spend more time!!
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting!! I can't wait!! Sounds like it's going to be fun.
ReplyDeleteI love the, "Back away from the camera bag, my spotted pill!" :) Hope you have a good weekend.
It does sound interesting--Cowgirl attire! I feed the horses in my pajamas every morning--is that attire in the book?!? ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and your photos. The shot of the horse wanting to take a photo is too cute! Happy Memorial Day weekend!

ReplyDeleteI 'met' the guest blogger and got to enjoy some of the book and her memories on Mrs. Mom's blog on May 21.

ReplyDeletelooking forward to thursday! your new header is pretty...do you put sunscreen on that delicate nose? i have to on blue's white chin. it gets sun burned.
ReplyDelete{Kritter Keeper}~ It was actually that picture that reminded me his little nose gets pink in the sun! I do put sunscreen on it, but I'm not sure how great it works. He hates it when I rub it in. But anything to help him from getting burned. I worry about skin cancers with those light- colored Appy parts!
