I’ve always
wanted to snap pictures and share a recipe on a blog, so thank you
Natalie for giving me the opportunity!
If you’ve read
Watercolor Dreams
you know that Clara, Charles’s aunt, is a fabulous cook. She not
only knows how to make a wonderful meal, but she also bakes delicious
desserts. Although apple crisp is not mentioned in WatercolorDreams, I’m happy Aunt Clara gave
me her recipe.
Our two trees, more like tall bushes, produced a ton
of apples this year. And what’s not to love about the smell of
apples and cinnamon during the holidays? It puts me in the Christmas
mood, and I hope it does the same for you. Enjoy!

Watercolor Dreams
He
strolled into her painting . . . and into her heart.
It's 1910 and
Anna Lewis is praying that God will help her become a premier
watercolor artist of the lush beaches of Carmel, California. When a
man strides down the beach and stops to face the ocean, Anna sketches
him into her painting. Was it a mistake? Anna thinks so when he tells
her he doesn't have spare change to purchase her work. Spare change
indeed! But while she seeks God's leading for her art career, she'd
better keep her day job as nursemaid to two rambunctious boys.
The minute
Charles Jordan walks away, he regrets criticizing the woman's
painting but as he told the artist, he's just been jilted at the
altar.
How will a secret
from Charles' past affect his chances of loving again? And how will
Anna have the hope she needs when tragedy strikes and she must rely
on the one man who crushed her spirit?
