Give, and receive

Posted on June 12, 2011 by Carol Burnside / Annie Rayburn

This country living is okay.

Hubby and I started a garden this year. Pretty good-sized, but the only thing it’s producing now is radishes. It seems we planted rather a lot. So, Hubby takes a sandwich baggie full of freshly trimmed radishes to one neighbor, comes home with two skewers of grilled shrimp fresh off the barbie. He takes another baggie to another neighbor. Returns with a dozen fresh eggs.

I’m thinkin’ we’re getting the better end of this deal.

Seems fitting on this Sunday afternoon, that I’m reminded of a bible verse:
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together
and running over, will be poured into your lap. Luke 6:38, NIV (©1984)

It seems the promise still holds true today.

What have you given recently, that netted you unexpected bounty?

Future posts–Need input

Posted on June 9, 2011 by Annie Rayburn/Carol Burnside

As Annie Rayburn, I’m working on a series of posts titled Meet the Characters. Interviews with the various couples in my books. In the first series I’m asking them to talk about their first encounter. Couples in love always want to talk about that, so it’s an easy ice-breaker. But I need more ideas for future posts and would rather post what’s of interest to you, my readers.

Given that
1) my stories are erotic romance and that I’m trying to keep these posts in the pg-13 realm,
and
2) they involve a humanoid race, the Crainesians, who have telepathic abilities,
what other topics would you like to see discussed by them?

Enter your ideas in the comments and I’ll post a poll for voting. Who knows? Your idea could be the one chosen!
