Now for my reply! I chose scuba diving! Yes, there’s no way I can do it now. But I think swimming underwater and viewing that part of creation up close and personal would be amazing! And after all, it’s just something I would like if I didn’t actually have to do it! Go figure! :-)–Lyn
Lyn Review Deborah Raney’s BRIDGES
Bridges by Deborah Raney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I always enjoy a Deborah Raney book. Her Women’s Fiction tackles the problems of modern life that make relationships challenging. What is most prominent to me about BRIDGES is that the characters are so REAL, nothing contrived. Deb has a talent for this and it’s at its zenith in BRIDGES. Tess and JW are two humans who’ve been battered by life but have soldiered on. Both are mature so this is a Later in Life romance and I love these because romance is not just for the young. Well, I’m not going to retell the story. I will merely recommend that if you want a story of families trying to work things out and a lovely, very real romance, you can’t go wrong with BRIDGES. PS: Having lived in Iowa (the setting) for nearly 20 years, I guessed JW’s real name easily, but I’m not telling!
PSS: I’d love to show the books cover but evidently I can’t! Click here to see it and learn more.

Spring in the northwoods!
Special for a Limited Time!
My book TO LOVE SOMEBODY is on sale from June 8-15th for 99 cents, regularly $3.99.
“History relived before your eyes. Gripping, Rich with History and Love.”
Coming of age in 1960’s and 70’s, Leigh Sinclair faces all the challenges of that turbulent time—but falling for the wrong man brings Leigh consequences she never envisioned. She won’t make the same mistake again.
Then one day the worst Leigh could imagine happens. Can the new man in her life help her avoid this ending in tragedy? If you enjoy authentic history with a strong female lead, then you’ll relish this dramatic slice of history by an award-winning and USA Today best selling author.
The Carlyle Women-four generations, each facing the challenges of her time and each harboring her own painful secret~
What Readers Say:
“Like the other books in this series, Leigh’s story is a time-capsule of the 60’s and 70’s. You are transported to the Tidal Basin in DC “right up front” at the Martin Luther King “I have a dream” rally…”
“To Love Somebody is an amazing story! Leigh Sinclair is a woman of her time, independent, passionate about the issues she believes in… It’s an intense story with plenty of stirring events that showcase the turbulent time with the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War. It’s a story that captures the time perfectly, and Leigh and the things that happen to her are a compelling story. I highly recommend it.”
“Once again Lyn Cote handled the problems and fears of another generation of mothers and daughters fighting to do ‘their own thing.’…Lyn Cote handles the angst that each generation feels as they battle to be ‘heard.’”

Are You Feeling the Pinch of Inflation?
Mexican enchilada bake
The TV voices keep telling us that this level of inflation has not been seen since the 1970’s. Such a cheerful thought. I was a young wife in the 70’s and believe me, I could easily have lived without history repeating itself. But grumbling doesn’t help, does it? (Though I still do it!’-)
Anyway I began thinking of ways that I handled inflation then and have begun using these tactics again.
- Ground turkey. Though more expensive now, it’s still significantly cheaper by the pound than ground beef. I usually stretch my ground beef with it. No one seems to notice and it helps the bottom line.
- One vegetarian meal a week. I have an ancient recipe, Enchilada Bake, that I’m using again. (See below)
- Also are you acquainted with Barilla Protein Plus Pasta? It costs a bit more but one 2 oz. serving of the pasta has 10 grams of protein. So that means I can use less or no meat in a recipe.
- Gardening and canning.
- Baking my own bread. (Thank goodness, I have a bread machine now!)
So those are the ones I have started using again. What about you? Please share if you have a money-saving tip. One commenter will receive a free ebook.
PS: Here is one of my meatless meals–very popular with my husband!
Enchilada Bake
1 can or of sliced mushrooms drained or 1 cup fresh
1 large green pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
2 cans pinto beans drained or 2 refried beans or 1 of each ,
4 corn tortillas (more if small)
spices: 1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chicken bullion, dry
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
This is a flexible recipe and many of you may want to add such things as jalapeños or more cumin and chili powder; do it to taste.
*****
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese – your choice
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Combine all the ingredients down to the ***** in a saucepan and simmer until warm. Then in a sprayed 9 x 13 pan, layer like lasagna starting first with the 2 tortillas, then half of the mixture in the pan, 2 tortillas. Smooth the sour cream or yogurt over the tortillas. Top with the rest of the mixture and then finish with the cheese. Bake at 350° for approximately 25 minutes or until it bubbles.
