Congratulations! You survived another year with your family at Thanksgiving! Obviously, you didn’t kill each other because you’re jumping along on this Decadent Publishing Black Friday Blog Hop. Thanks for taking the time to stop by my site … keep on reading to find out how to enter your name for my prizes.
I’m a fidgeter. It’s one of the reasons that I like to be busy all the time, whether it’s at work, on the weekends, or on vacation … I need something to do. And spending time outdoors, hiking, riding my bike with the boys, sprinting (read: trotting) across the soccer pitch, or walking the dog is never boring.
I feel great comraderie with Tallulah Murphy and Mitchell Weaver in my 1Night Stand, The Great Outdoors, because they’re also outdoor fans. And since their busy careers keep them indoors more often than not, like me, they dream of getting back to nature when given the opportunity.
Me and the boys (the 41 year old and the 14 year old) aren’t really Black Friday shoppers, though we do keep a “Thanksgiving Friday” tradition of family time. Since the weather is supposed to be pretty again, we’ll most likely spend the day hiking in the great outdoors, with Maggie May the wonder beagle tagging along with us.
Are you a Black Friday shopper, or a Thanksgiving Friday family time spender?
What’s your favorite long weekend destination?

And don’t forget to hop along to the next blog in the Decadent Publishing Black Friday Blog Hop. There are dozens of prizes to be had along the way. Remember: your name won’t be in the raffles if you don’t leave comments. Good luck!
Today, I am thankful for my family and friends; my health and happiness; my creativity and the opportunity to spin stories; my freedom and my liberty; and for the hope of a bright future.
I hope you are with someone you love, and love in return, and that you remember to count your blessings today. You might be surprised when you stop and think about how many things you have to be thankful for.
Be safe, be happy, be thankful.

You should be pretty stretched out by now. Just one more day until the weekend, when you can hit the trails. Now that springtime is among us, the sun is at a higher angle, so make sure you have new sunscreen for the season. Your local sporting goods shop might even be having a sale on new hiking boots or eco-friendly canteens. Last May I discovered that I was allergic to wasps and bees, and spent the day in the ER. Now our hiking and kayaking outings include my quickie med-kit, with epi-pen and Benadryl in tow. In the fall I discovered I was also allergic to Burts Bees chapstick, and I’ve been afraid to eat any honey since then. Sigh. My quads and calves are nice and loose, and my hiking boots are watching me from the door.
Have you finished reading The Great Outdoors yet? If you liked it, please take a moment and give me a good rating on Decadent Publishing, Amazon, or Goodreads. I would be most obliged, and you’ll get good karma points for a good deed. BIG smile!
