I had the second part of my dental implant yesterday morning (Joe says it's important to always include the term "dental" before implant, LOL) and though everything went perfectly well, I've been hurting a little. Not bad, but Tylenol wasn't touching it. So I'm going to make this post "somewhat" short and sweet today. Remember when I told you that Zondervan flew a video crew to Nashville earlier this spring (still can't believe they did that!), and we spent a day filming six video vignettes on location at Belle Meade in Nashville, Tennessee? It was such fun! Well, the vignettes are ready!
They center around the history of Belle Meade, and the story and characters in To Whisper Her Name, the first Belle Meade Plantation novel releasing October 23rd. Each Monday morning over the next six weeks, I'll share one of these vignettes on my blog and on my facebook page in anticipation of the upcoming release.
This week's video is entitled "Welcome to Belle Meade Plantation." I hope you enjoy you it and would LOVE to hear your thoughts when you're finished watching.
I'd also be so grateful if you'd share this vignette on your blogs and facebook profiles and pages, and tweet about it, if you're willing. And on Good Reads and other websites you might know about. Not to mention sharing it with your library or bookclub. I can't wait to share To Whisper Her Name with you, and believe you're going to fall in love with the history and people at Belle Meade just like I did.
If you do decide to share the video, please know that your name goes into the proverbial hat for an advance copy of To Whisper Her Name. My way of saying thanks! Visit my personal blog for the details.
And remember… The special PRE-order pricing of $4.99 for ebook (Kindle, Nook, and iBook) and for print ($8.05) is only available before the release date of October 23rd.
I'm so grateful for you, friends! And now I'm off to write a little this morning, still floating a little from the pain meds I took last night. I usually don't take prescription pain meds but sometimes…ah, they're marvelous!

P.S. This weekend, Joe and I flew to Corpus Christi to see his dad, Fred, and Fred's wife Jan. Fred has been in the hospital for congestive heart failure among other things, and we've come close to losing him in recent weeks. We're so grateful for modern medicine and for the pacemaker and defibrillator the doctors implanted last week. Fred is still weak and has far to go in recovery (and will be in rehab for some time), but we're so grateful for his progress. Here are some quick pics from this weekend...
Father and son
Hugging goodbye... (Love this one)
Me and Jan (a little shadowed at the airport) before catching our flight back home. Love this lady and appreciate how she's taking care of Fred. And your prayers are appreciated for his continued recovery!
Tammy, I played your video four times and was absolutely captivated by the beauty of Belle Meade. The music accompanying the video was beautiful,something I would class as music for the soul. It gave me a sense of peace and calmness as I
ReplyDeletelistened to it.:)
To comment further on your post, my heart went out to you and your family, as I read about Joe's Dad and what a lovely, photo of them both.
I can identify with how you're feeling,because tonight I received a phone call from my cousin(in tears). My Aunt had been having cardiac episodes for the last few weeks, but rallied around until early hours of this morning when she finally "went Home." My dear Mum was very close to her and I now have to break the news to her in the morning. My Mum is now the only survivor of her generation of our family which is spread throughout Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Tammy, you ALL have our prayers for a rapid and uncomplicated recovery for Joe's Dad.Bless him!
Also a speedy recovery from the misery and pain that you are suffering from your dental work.
Take care friend.

Tammy....one word for this video: BEAUTIFUL!!! (both Belle Meade and YOU, sweet friend). Oh my, I LOVED it, and will be sharing with others. And I have to add--you are so very poised and have a lovely speaking voice (*sigh*-says the lady with the pronounced southern accent). ~ So sorry about your precious father-in-law, and have already lifted him up in prayer (and will continue). So glad you and Joe were able to visit this weekend. ~ Praying your mouth pain goes away soon (and that's the TOOTH *grin*) and you use those pain meds. if you need to, bless your heart. One more note I have to include...I have one more dental visit tomorrow to finish up and I have to admit--going to the dentist makes me more nervous than anything else. So earlier this morning I thought I'd go ahead and read your blog post and figured that would keep my mind off of worrying about my own dental appt. tomorrow. So...I opened your post and the first word I read was: Dental (LOL!!). But thanks for bringing us this post today even though you're in pain. Hugs from rainy Georgia, Patti Jo
ReplyDeletep.s. Rosie, so sorry about your news, sweet friend. Praying for you and your family.
Hey sweet friends, loved reading your comments this morning and appreciate your prayers. I'm feeling much better. A touch of an unsettled stomach, but I'm sure that's due to the antibiotic and pain meds. I'm off to grab some soup in a minute. That'll help, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteRosie, I'm praying for your cousin and the entire family. Losing ones we love is so hard. Even when it's just "goodbye for now." It still hurts deeply. Regarding the video, I love the music the director chose as well. So pretty! I'm so grateful my publisher did this, and am eager to share the next five videos with you. (One each Monday through 10/1/12) Belle Meade has such wonderful history!
Patti Jo, sorry if I added to your dental woes. Didn't intend to. I'm truly fine. Just not quite 100% yet. But soon, I'm sure! Praying for your experience! Love your puns, as always. You're so clever! And thanks for sharing the video. So appreciate it!
I really appreciate our community here, friends. And to you "lurkers" who are devoted readers but who may not comment often (or at all), know you're welcome to jump in any time. The water's fine! : )
Hugs from TN, even if I am a tiny bit swollen ,
Tammy
Tammy and PJ! Bless you for your prayers dear friends.Very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI too have joined the ranks in the dental queue. Last week three visits in two days.Not fun! I had my central tooth restored, but fractured it at lunchtime,so back for the second time that day. Then the next day, I broke another tooth which the dentist was trying to save, which was encased in a silver band. The band came off and I nearly swallowed it and some of my tooth. OH JOY ! NOT!! Think I have broken Pete's piggy bank!LOL!!
Hi Tam!
ReplyDeleteGlad you and your hubby had a safe trip to see your Father in law...praying for him. Love the pictures.

Take care and hoping you feel lots better by now!
