Book Blurb Friday #43 : "Riverbend"

Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joy ~ Kathy Matthews



 "Riverbend"
 by Kathy Matthews

Riverbend City Councilor, Bonnie Marshall-Cooper, looked at the new paint job with appreciation.  It had been a long and difficult fight to help the owners of Sidelines get permission to paint over the 100-year-old original brickwork. 

The main opposition had come from that crotchety old bitty, Councilor Frances Worthington.  Mrs. Worthington feared that other business-owners would follow suit, and soon the historic downtown area would resemble a coastal resort community rather than a high-mountain skiing town.  She was not used to losing fights. 

Bonnie, basking in victory, turned to get back into her car.  She was startled to feel the gun in her side and the gruff voice in her ear. "You are coming with me, bitch.  We are making sure that you won't make any more of your fancy changes around this town!"  

In Riverbend, you never cross a Worthington.  Bonnie’s real troubles had just begun. (147)

Thanks, Lisa, for choosing one of my favorite recent pictures for this week's Book Blurb Friday!  Here is the link to the post about Sidelines Sports Bar and Grill:  "just click here".



I am participating in Lisa's Book Blurb Friday, from over at Writing in the Buff.   It is fun, and you can play too!  Pretend that the picture on the top of this post is the cover of a book.  On the inside jacket, you have 150 words to entice the reader to buy your book.  Lisa gives us a week to think about next week's entry (she's gracious like that).  Please CLICK HERE  to read what everybody else wrote!

Ooh, I didn't see that coming, Kathy. "Never cross a Worthington"...or else! Good stuff. I'd sure buy the book.

You lulled me into complacency, then took me by surprise. The only disappointment with this blurb is that it doesn't tell the rest of the story. You know I'd be buying it.

wishing you a wonderful holiday.

Why, that nasty Frances Worthington! Bonnie's in trouble and of course, that's just the way we readers like it. It'd be fun to read about how she gets herself out of trouble and puts old Frances in jail!

Are you looking for info about Tyler Matthews?

Check this stuff out below:

The 2012 Army All-American Day Event


Photo Source: Nike "The Opening Brochure" Pages 2 and 3
During the week of July 5-9, 2011, Cary and I were privileged to attend "The Opening", watching quarterback grandson Tyler Matthews (#43 the first day, and #15 on game days) play with 150 of the best high school football players in the United States. The event was held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures ... some are better photos than others, but I tried to capture as many kids as I could.

There are approximately 500 photos in these slide shows. They are of the players, the fans, our family and everybody/everything that caught my eye. They are in chronological order. No names are on the pictures, even if I do know who people were.

As time permits, I will also be writing blog posts about my experience as a spectator. Since I still have a lot to learn about football and this is not a sports blog, I'll write some human interest stories as seen through my eyes. That said, Tyler Matthews, YOU ROCK!!!!
