Greetings from the Caribbean! The last time I blogged, I was on a Norwegian cruise ship about to cross the Atlantic Ocean. I was working on turning the artwork from my first two books into coloring book format.

Here I am on another Norwegian cruise, this time from Jacksonville, Florida to the Caribbean and back. Yes, lots of vacations mashed together and for good reason. Gregg is retiring in April from the company he has worked for 28 years. They have a “use or lose” vacation policy so – we are USING it.

Gregg has always loved computer programming so he will continue to work, but now for his brother’s company. We are both excited for this change and new season in our lives.

The morning we left for this cruise, I ordered two proof copies of my coloring books. A few days later, they came in! Thanks to my sister, here are photos. She reports that they look great! I hope to have them available in person and on Amazon in early March.

Both of these contain the complete text from its original book. The only difference is they don’t show my watercolor paintings. Oh, and each coloring book contains a sneak peek of the opposite coloring book. I can’t wait to share these with you!

Stay tuned for more updates after we get home.

And stay tuned for more travel blogs coming right up.

Happy reading and traveling,
