I hope you'll read this

Long time readers don’t have to read today.  You all ready know all this, but we have new readers all the time, blogger, commenters, lurkers and so a few times a year I feel the urge to push my other blog. 

For those of you who do not know I also write a fiction blog – Cassie’s Space.  It is a source of pure joy for me.  If someone tells me that they like me, or think something I write is worth reading, it makes me happy.  But if someone tells me that they like Cassie, or when they leave a comment over at her site is like someone telling me that they think my kids or (future) grandkids are beautiful and special and I’m so happy I just want to hug the stuffin’ out of them.

 A brief introduction – Cassie and her beloved Tom have been married for over 40 years.  Yes they are senior citizens, but I don’t think anyone would call them old.  Theirs is a pure love story, but this Prince Charming doesn’t hesitate for a moment to turn his love over his knee and turn her lovely bottom scarlet should she put herself in danger or behave in a way unbecoming a lady.

Cassie is a lady – but her ability to enjoy herself has never diminished.  Cassie’s friend Sue is often at her side egging her on. Another old friend Annie, and Cassie’s soon to be daughter-in-law, Allie, try to keep Cassie and Sue out of trouble, but often is seems to be a lost cause.  You might like this story to get to know Cassie and her friends – it has several parts that I’ve linked.

I’ve posted Cassie’s story for over six years now.  I hope you’ll look back at a few stories or just jump into the one that going on currently.  But either way I hope you’ll come by.  If you're a blogger and you're willing to link her, I'd appreciate it. If you decide to leave a comment, Cassie will be the one answering it.  You see, although I know she’s fiction; I’ve never been able to convince her.

  

I came across this meme that Cassie did years ago and I thought I’d repost it here.  It gives you a feel for Cassie’s personality and if anyone else would like to do the meme yourself, please have at it.
