Have you ever had a Timbit? It’s a little round donut – what I’d call a donut hole. They are sold by Tim Hortons, a very popular donut shop chain here in Nova Scotia. There are at least three shops that I can drive to from my house in five minutes or less. They are… Continue reading Yum, Timbits

The Hatfield Fall Christian Church Layout
We’ve been to church a few times in this series already, and I expect we’ll be going back many times. That’s why I thought it would be good to do a quick sketch of how I picture the church in Hatfield Falls to be laid out. BTW, do you say foy-yay or foy-yer for “foyer”?… Continue reading The Hatfield Fall Christian Church Layout
The Hatfield Falls Library Layout
Edmund Bennet wrapped his hand firmly around the door handle, then, drawing in a deep breath and holding it to tamp down the touch of anxiety fluttering along his nerves, he slowly and silently pulled open the door that separated the back rooms of the library from the public areas. He had always been good… Continue reading The Hatfield Falls Library Layout
The Get It Done Club
Don’t Tell Anyone I Read Romance has a lot of scenes set at the Hatfield Falls Library. Here’s an excerpt from one of those scenes from chapter 1 and an image (above) that I created to go with it. …“Can I help with any of your work?” Josh offered. He was a good kid in… Continue reading The Get It Done Club
Let’s Play
It’s the Saturday before Valentine’s Day, and that had me thinking about Chapter 14 in Don’t Tell My Heart It Can Heal. That’s the chapter where the singles from Hatfield Falls Christian Church and other churches in the area get together for a games night and not a Valentine specific activity. Here’s how the night… Continue reading Let’s Play

And in case you’re wondering, the u-pick apple… Continue reading When Trish met Henry
Going up!
Lacey pushed the button with the wheelchair symbol on it and waited until the lady behind her had gone through the door before she entered. The breeze caught her hair and tried to tug it out of its ponytail. A seagull hobbled across the parking lot, stopping now and then to peck at what it… Continue reading Going up!
In Aisle Three
Trish turned from the gift card rack and moved towards the houseware aisle. “It was good to see you.” His brow furrowed. “That’s it. No further conversation?” That was the idea. She had realized from nearly their first meeting that it was far too pleasant to be standing close to Henry and talking, and the… Continue reading In Aisle Three
A sensible proposal?
“You’re set on a storefront?” Will asked. “What else would we have?” Emma seemed utterly surprised by his question. “We’re not looking to do online sales only.” “In-person sales don’t need a brick-and-mortar structure,” Will countered while leaning back to enjoy his coffee and giving her time to reason that out. She would. He and… Continue reading A sensible proposal?
Just a friend
“Cold enough for you?” Paul Lally, a gentleman in his late fifties and owner of the diner, called as he threw another cup of rock salt on the sidewalk. “Too cold,” Henry replied. Paul’s laugh puffed out in front of him. “We’ve got some messy weather coming.” “So I’ve heard.” Standing in front of the… Continue reading Just a friend
