Valentine's Day!
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. The day for people in love to send each other greetings, warm wishes, intimate presents and a day to be thankful for the one person in your life that means the world to you. It works that way in The Falls as well. Grandma Burman has planned a special supper for her Ralph, Doc has created an evening of luxury, love and pampering for his pregnant wife Jordan, Meg and Shanks have taken a long hike up to his cabin, where they will spend the evening and next day wrapped up in a toasty blanket beside the roaring fire. Nicholas and Marion will spend half of the evening playing happily with the twins, and the other half spending some much needed alone time together. Even Darlene and Moses will be spending the evening at the fancy French restaurant in Brown Bear Junction, followed up by a visit to The Scoop for hot fudge sundaes.
There are always those people who are alone on Valentine's Day as well. Sean will spend the evening playing video games and eating Marie's favorite ice cream, while thinking of and being glad for the time they had together. Old lady Montgomery will spend the evening flipping through the photos of her and the Colonel. He's been gone for eighteen years, but she's still just as much in love with him as when she was eighteen.
Perhaps the most interesting couple will be Cash and Yamato. They will spend the evening rocking on the porch in the cold, sipping hot coffee and enjoying warm blueberry pie from Tina's Diner. Not one word will be said of love or commitment, but in their hearts, they are as much a couple as anyone in The Falls. They believe in each other and would do anything for the other.
To all of you: I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day. It doesn't matter if you're a couple or by yourself, or just spending it with friends. Enjoy the blessings you are endowed with in this world, indulge in some ice cream, crack open a bottle of bubbly if you so choose, and be glad that you have what you have.
I'm a third of the way through the 23rd Falls novel, and I have just sent the fifteenth one (Brotherly Love) into CreateSpace to be made into a paperback. I should get the proof in a few days and then in three or four weeks the book should be ready for publication on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, CreateSpace and elsewhere.The 22nd novel, The Falls: The Grass is Always Greener is out on Kindle.
So my Valentine's present to all of you is to let you know that The Falls is alive and well and will have many stories yet to come! Happy Valentine's Day Carolyn! Love you lots...
