Recently, a fan suggested that I should interview him, and once he agreed, we scheduled one as soon as possible. It was such a joy chatting with him. (And he was so kind to put up with me rambling on about so much of my life story!) While I had intended to share this interview prior to the premiere of Falling For Vermont this past weekend, I am grateful that my busy schedule is permitting to share it with my readers now.

He said, "No, this isn't right," and he went around himself and changed all those chairs around so that they were all intermixed. That's the kind of guy he is. He's a phenomenal person, and I will go to bat for that guy any day of the week.

    For awhile now, I have noticed this lovely actress who appears in various supporting roles in Hallmark and Lifetime films as well as guest and recurring roles in television shows. Since her name is Rukiya Bernard, I have never failed to not notice her name in the credits of any show or film I am watching. I am very sensitive to unusually memorable names such as hers.

This summer, we set one up, but technology has only just allowed me to be able to share it with my readers.…

    At 38 degrees latitude north and 92 longitude west, lies the rural farming town of California, Missouri. This town is rich in cornfields, small businesses, and many churches of all denominations. From the quiet fields, to the busy town square this city is home to 4,341 people. What I believe makes California stand out from the other towns is that it has the “oldest continuously operating fair west of the Mississippi” (Kunze).
