Deb Dish – Tell us about something that always makes you smile.
Deb Amy: A special thing that makes me smile is an email from Carol, my life-long (40 year!!) pen pal in Cardiff, South Wales. We went from little girls who loved and wrote letters about the Osmonds to moms of grown kids who write emails about work and life and everything in between. I used to just wait and wait for her letters to arrive, and now any time I see her email addy in my inbox, I know I smile. Then I grab a cup of coffee and hunker down for a good read. You can read more about me and Carol, here, in my 2007 Chicago Tribune article.
Deb Dana: My husband’s dancing. He’s actually a really good dancer, and every once in a while — when we’re watching a show and the credits roll and a great theme song comes on, or when I’m playing music in the kitchen — he’ll bust out a few moves, and it is physically impossible not to smile when he does that.
Deb Kelly: … is trying VERY hard not to post a picture of her BLB (beloved little boy) right now. Suffice it to say he makes me smile ear to ear.
Deb Kerry: Many things, but a good cup of coffee will always do it. Also, looking out my window at – no neighbors – and seeing sky and trees and wild deer and turkeys. This makes me happy.
Deb Susan: I love to smile, so the honest answer here is “too numerous to mention,” but if I have to name just one: puns. Particularly bad puns – and more about that next Thursday. Some people don’t like puns, but I can’t help loving them The bigger the groan, the bigger my grin!
Aw, thanks for the shout-out about my signing at NAIBA. You know what makes me smile? A visit to the Deb Ball, and seeing how great all of you guys are doing! 😀
I love Amy’s story of her pen pal! It makes me want to write a letter.
Ooooh – Dana – you have galleys? ~swoons~ How COOL.
Celebratory dance coming up for Susan completing book two!! Although the dancing may have to wait until post coffee.
Covers, and galleys, and second books – OH MY!
Oh, another thing that makes me smile is any time I see a 2013 Deb email in my inbox!! 😀
So much good news this week! And Amy, I **LOVE** your pen pal story! Makes me smile, too :).
Hey, I also love those 2013 Deb emails. Love my Deb sistahs!
OMG Amy I have a penpal too! Aren’t they the greatest?
