Welcome fellow readers! Happy Friday! How are my favorite readers today? My husband and his siblings have planned a trip to Newport, Oregon for the week. We leave in the morning! ROAD TRIP! My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are driving, stopping a night in La Grande, OR, then on to Newport, via Multnomah falls. I've been there before, but it's worth a third trip. I'm excited for my book signing Wednesday, August 20, 2025, from noon to 2 pm. If you live in or around Nye Beach, I hope you are able to visit me. More details… below. The day of my signing, the guys will be golfing. The rest of the family will be wandering around Nye Beach looking at shops, etc. I plan to visit Nana's Irish Pub while we're there. 1. my grandkids call me Nana. 2. I'm Irish! Don't worry I will share pictures! Find a place you can curl up with a good book, grab a cup of hot cocoa, a glass of wine, or whatever your preference is, and enjoy! |

A bit about my spotlight guest! Stanalei Fletcher: Day job is over and I’m giving all my work a facelift. I am transitioning to Indie publishing and would love for Mary’s readers to join me in my journey. After a taste of life on both U.S. coasts, I now reside in Utah near the beautiful Wasatch Mountain Range with my husband. When not writing, I enjoy camping in the backcountry with my family, riding dirt trails on our RZR, visiting National Parks, and exploring museums and ghost towns. And of course, reading.

To avoid bankruptcy after her grandfather’s death Annie Crawford is forced to sell her inheritance, the ghost town of White Rock, Idaho. Financial stability comes at a high price: her heritage. She faces rebuilding her future as she leaves her legacy behind. Purchasing the old ghost town means Luke Maxwell can develop the prime real estate, which will propel his career to the top, and gain his father’s approval to take over the company. All of those goals take precedence over his attraction to the pretty seller. While touring the property, Annie and Luke are thrown back in time to the 1891 mining community of White Rock, Idaho. Together, they endure antiquated hardships and turn to each other for familiarity. If they can’t find a way back to their own time, they face a lifetime in the wrong century. As Annie and Luke realize a predestined responsibility for the future, will the love they’ve discovered unravel the present? |

Either the night before or the early morning, start with the Hatch chiles and the pork. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking pan with foil. Rince the chiles, dry them off, place them on the foil, do not crowd them. Brush them with olive oil and lightly salt. Bake for 10 minutes until they start to blister, turn them with tongs and bake another 10 to 15 minutes. When they are blackened and blistered remove them and add to a bowl, cover with foil and let them steam until they are cool enough to touch. Place the roasted chiles on a clean cutting board or a flat surface and grab the stem area with your non dominant hand. With your dominant hand, start peeling away the skin from the top of the pepper and work your way down. The skin should come off effortlessly, revealing the vibrant green flesh beneath. Chop and put in a bowl to store overnight or place in the crockpot. While chiles are baking, pour the olive oil into a pan and put on medium heat. Cut the pork into cubes and brown them. Then place in bowl to store overnight in the fridge or place in the crockpot. Chop the garlic, onion, and red bell pepper, add to the pork and chiles in the crockpot. Mix the broth and seasonings in thoroughly. Cook for 8 to 9 hours on low and 4 to 5 hours on high. Serve with white rice, refried beans, and tortilla's. Enjoy! |
