Whew! Can you believe it? Today is the final stop on my blog tour for Things Old and Forgotten. What a whirlwind it’s been! I’ve had so much fun visiting my friends on the web. Thank you to everyone who popped in during a tour stop to say hello. I hope you enjoyed the excerpts I shared, and had as much fun as I did.

Today, I’ll be visiting Miriam Hurdle. Miriam is a lovely friend who shares a wide range of uplifting posts on her blog The Showers of Blessings—everything from amazing photos encompassing her family and gorgeous garden, to book reviews, travel posts, photography challenges, and slice of life thoughts. She is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), as well as an author of poetry, short stories, memoir, and children’s books. You can find all of Miriam’s work on her Amazon Author Page, including her latest children’s book, Tina Lost in a Crowd, and Songs of Heartstrings: Poems of Gratitude and Beatitude, a collection I found inspiring.

Miriam is so sweet, she contacted me and offered her blog after I already had my tour in place. How could I possibly decline such a generous offer, especially given Miriam is tour stop 12? Twelve just happens to be my favorite number. You see how that all worked out? Hop over and visit me at Miriam’s place. She is wonderfully supportive of others and would enjoy seeing you every bit as much as I would!
