Hey sweet friend, When we first met Lora Bennett, she wasn't looking for an adventure. She was perfectly happy baking cookies, spending time with friends, and cheering everyone else on from the sidelines. But sometimes God has other plans. And sometimes those plans show up in the form of a cookie contest. 😁 👉 Grab your copy of Whisked Away here This month, Lora is heading to Magnolia Bend as one of twenty contestants in the Crazy Cookie Regional Contest. The prize? A commercial KitchenAid mixer. A trip to Nationals - happening on a 7 day cruise to Alaska! And a chance to prove to herself that maybe she's not done chasing dreams after all. The Bridge Ladies, of course, aren't about to let her go alone. So they pack their bags, climb into the car, and head off on what should have been a fun weekend full of cookies, friendship, and cheering Lora on. Don't you worry, Ethel Sue's made matching aprons with plenty of sparkle and glitter! 💖 But just as the contest begins, the grand prize mixer disappears. And when something goes missing... Well, Ethel Sue starts asking questions. A lot of questions. 😁 Whisked Away is a story about friendship, second chances, and discovering that God is never finished writing our stories. It's also about cookies. A lot of cookies. 🍪❤️ grace + hugs, Melissa Alyse ❤️ P.S. Now I'm curious... if you had a bake-off tomorrow, what cookie would you bring?

By 8:30am that morning nearly half the neighborhood had joined the search. Naturally, everyone had a theory. You see, just yesterday Reg had been caught “inspecting” one of Helen’s other wreaths. Fred owned a truck and knew how to restore old wood. And Dot, well she has the means to move things... she has a golf cart...
Hey Friends! For five mysteries now, Ethel Sue has taken us all over Willow Creek — down to Corpus Christi and even over to Magnolia Bend for Lora's cookie contest. But this time? The mystery comes right to her own front porch. Welcome to Meadow Ridge. It's the new 55+ community (some of y'all would call it a subdivision) tucked inside Willow Creek, next to The Grove and the new golf course. Close enough to Main Street that you can still run in for coffee and be home before it cools. Before...
Hey there, Reader, We made it home from Arkansas this week, and my heart is full. This Thanksgiving, we - Edmund, Sammy and Jake - made the trip to visit my son, Jeff, and his family. (Sammy is his oldest.) This year, Edmund, Sammy and Jake came along too. Jake offered to drive, and Edmund happily settled into the front seat to "help navigate." That left Sammy and me in the backseat and we started catching up before we even left town. What project Sammy is excited about. What God has been...
