Amanda McIntyre here, welcome to the weekend!
I'm fast approaching one of those milestone birthdays coming up next
week and to celebrate, I’ve invited some of my WILD DEADWOOD READS author
buddies to help me out! What’s WDR, you ask? Well, it’s a unique, new
author/reader weekend being held June 9,10,11 in beautiful and historic
Deadwood, South Dakota!
This is just a sampling of the wonderful authors who
are attending this multi-genre booklovers weekend. With a bevy of events
designed for both authors
and readers to experience together, this weekend
boasts a variety of options, from a 188o’s train ride through the Black Hills
to a ghost hunt at one of the old hotels. A PBR rodeo, book signing, trip to Mt
Rushmore area also on the docket. You can learn more about this fantastic
conference and how to register at WILD DEADWOOD READS. Some authors and readers
are even bringing family and rolling into a vacation themed conference!

Back to birthdays…think about the best birthday you
ever had. I had a tough time thinking back on *cough cough* six decades(whaaat?) of dern near
anything, much less birthdays! Suffice it to say, over the years, I have made
out like a bandit in the flower department since Valentines falls a week before
my birthday! There are so many favorites—but the best for me have and always
will be those spent with all of my family around me. This “milestone” year is
extra-special because in about forty-five days I will become a first-time
GRANDMA. I am SO excited to start reading to his little “jellybean.” Again, I
digress…birthdays.
To make things interesting, I thought it’d be fun to
ask my WDR author compadres to share what THEIR favorite birthday memories--
Best birthday present: a lovely, simple little heart
necklace with a diamond in the center of the heart—got it from my then boyfriend/now
hubby on my 17th birthday. We’ve been married 42 years and it’s still so
special to me!

My best birthday present ever was a ring my husband
bought for my 40th birthday. When we first got married some 30+ years ago my
wedding ring was a gold band. I'd commented at the time that I would love to
have a channel set diamond ring if we could ever afford it. Twenty years later,
he outdid himself! He's always outdoing himself when it comes to showing me how
much he loves me.

ReplyDeleteBest birthday present ever was a brand new car. I was living in South Carolina, so my oldest son could go to a special school for the handicapped. My mom didn't like the fact that I had no car, with two young children, and no family around. Since I was proud and stubborn, she gave it to me as my birthday present for the next 30 years. I had that car for a little over ten years, before It was beyond the point of saving. I have awesome parents.
What a blessing, Tamye! Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story.
