Happy Friday, my lovely readers!

Memorial Day typically marks the opening weekend of tourist season, at least it does for Maine. Even before the pandemic, we didn't travel much except to visit my family in California, and we won't be doing anything exciting this weekend either. Well, unless you consider cleaning the pollen from the patio furniture and from INSIDE the house exciting.

Seriously, what's the deal with pollen this year? The inside of our house has just as much yellow dust as the outside. Gah!

Oh, wait! I do have some exciting news. Staying Grounded is FREE!! Yuppers. FREE on ALL platforms! Oh, and A Thousand Sunsets comes out on June 16th. You can preorder it now. Isn't the cover pretty? So, I guess I do have some exciting news.

Are any of you traveling this weekend? Is anyone reading anything good? I mean, besides your FREE copy of Staying Grounded, obviously.

Grab a book. Make a cocktail (or mocktail). Read a book. Stay healthy.

Marianne xoxo
