You can read it below! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Grace Freeport is a well-respected school teacher in the frontier town of Omaha. She thoroughly enjoys working with each of her thirteen students but her past still secretly haunts her.<br />On a typical November day in 1874, the school day begins as usual. However, the weather quickly changes with a little snow, and temperatures are plunging with the wind accelerating. <br />For a classroom with children, the weather can be frightening, and when their teacher steps outside to access the weather, the impending storm is terrifying for everyone.<br />Fortunately yesterday, Grace had taken the precaution of running a clothesline from the school to her home. She is well aware of storms in the plains and knows how quickly a blizzard can become dangerous. Leaving a note of their location, Grace carefully led the children holding the line and each other, to the safety of her home where she knows there is plenty of wood and food. <br />So what is her reward for saving the children? Grace tries to move past her past and reveals her secret. Now, the mayor's wife wants her fired.<br />Grace's past is now becoming a part of her new life. Complete with a feeling of guilt; she learns the value of friendship, loyalty, and love.<br />Lessons Learned- Grace's Secret is an excellent example of a perfect historical Christian romance. Perfectly balancing all three genres into one novel is masterfully accomplished in this book. <br />Local author, Jewell Tweedt has written numerous books in this Omaha-based series during the last few years. Many of the characters in this story were in her previous books, A Bride for the Sheriff, A Lady for the Lawman and Gold in My Pocket. <br />Lessons Learned is a part of this series but can also be a stand-alone novel. Knowing the backgrounds of the characters and their past experiences enrich the story and allows the reader to understand better the choices of each character as they move beyond their problemed past.<br />Lessons Learned-Grace's Secret is the longest in this series and shows how the author has developed in her writing with superb characterization and well-developed plots including realistic situations based on the history of the area.<br />Lessons Learned-Grace's Secret has life lessons that every person daily needs to reinforce in moving on with every person's life.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The same reader also sent a review of last year's Christmas book, <i>Love's Christmas Past, </i>featuring my book, <i>When Christmas Bells are Ringing</i>, along with books by authors Susan M. Baganz and Rachel James. This book is available for purchase on Amazon.com, both in the set and as a stand alone novel!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Three gifted women authors masterfully join their talents creating a collection of three short stories all in one cover in a historical setting all with realistic characters all hoping to find love this Christmas season.<br />Council Bluffs' author, Jewell Tweedt created an entrancing novelette, Christmas Bells, with her protagonist, Connie Rose Simonson. Connie manages two cafes on in the frontier town of Omaha, Nebraska during November of 1878. <br />Connie is a recent widow who is also raising her seven-year-old son, Andrew. She enjoys being extremely busy to the point of exhaustion.<br />With an invitation to a birthday party where there happen to be puppies, the two look forward to <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1090342902" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(204, 204, 204); position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span>.<br />Dr. James Connor also works until exhaustion. Being a lonely bachelor is easier if you are busy especially when you are the only doctor within a thirty-miles radius. For a booming frontier town, that is a lot of responsibility for one person.<br />Rachel James is the author of another story in this collection entitled, A Medieval Christmas. <br />Nola is experiencing morning sickness. Her mother, Lady Langley, logically has made this conclusion. As an unwed woman with a social standing, she realizes that she could marry a man beneath her station or become a member of a convent, hopefully, close enough to observe her child grow.<br />The Earl of Beauwater needs a wife. A man of distinction needs a companion and heirs. With his brother's dying wish is for to marry, can he find a particular woman to fulfill his responsibilities and dreams?<br />In Fragile Blessings by Susan Baganz, Grant and Lily anticipate the birth of their first child. Unfortunately, the baby dies during its rough delivery. How does anyone heal from the death of a child?<br />Misfortune has company when there is a fire leaving three Catholic children orphans at a nearby farm. <br />Who would care for three children with an entirely different religion?<br />These three stories join in themes of Christmas and hope. All three have practical problems reflective of the time period and even today.<br />These three short novelettes have an intended audience of women who enjoy reading historical fiction, Christian novels, and romance. All are thoroughly engaging stories transporting the reader to another time and place.<br />Love's Christmas Past is the perfect gift for any woman who enjoys historical Christian romances.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I wanted to write a brief post to share with you one of the happenings in my middle school History classroom. This past week, I shared with students the story of Henry Box Brown, a slave who mailed himself to freedom. In the photo below, the tape on the floor represents the dimensions of the Henry's box. Here, a student tries to become small enough to fit into a square the same size as Henry's box a cramped five feet, ten inches. Henry had a 27-hour journey to get to freedom. History comes alive in Mrs. Tweedt's classroom!</span><br />

Winds could be as high as 40-50 miles per hour.Yikes! I just came from the grocery store and it was a crazy house with people scurrying around. The bread and soup aisles were especially packed.<br />
<br />
This reminded me of the blizzard I wrote about in my novel Faith and Hope-Grace's Story where a freak blizzard isolates an entire town.We have it so much easier than they did on the plains in 1870. Let's calm down and enjoy the show Mother Nature is about to put on. I',m ready for hot chocolate, soup and curling up with a good book..

A widower, Jason must put aside his painful past to earn his future. Can he get his man AND his woman?

Here's how to make really good lemonade and it's inexpensive.<br />
You will need a bottle of lemon juice, sugar, a fresh lemon, water and ice.<br />
<br />
In a pitcher add one cup of lemon juice, one cup of sugar and two cups of water. Stir with a wooden or plastic spoon. Add ice.Slice the lemon thinly and add to the pitcher. Pour into tall glasses and enjoy.<br />
<br />
If you like strawberries or raspberries add them. Simple enough, right?
