Saturday Spanking, August 9

Welcome to Saturday Spankings. A great day to see how much we can and can't tell in only eight sentences.
     I’m getting more and more excited about the new book, Cassie’s River Living that will be our soon. I hope to have a snippet up from that new book next week. Today I’m taking a snippet from the third book, Cassie on the Move.

Tom is always very particularly about Cassie’s health and years ago when her doctor first suggested she get a colonoscopy; Tom agreed it was a good idea. Cassie on the other hand, wasn’t so sure. While she tried to get mentally prepared she let Tom believe she was in the process of scheduling the dreaded test. Unfortunately, Tom played golf with Cassie’s doctor, and this was before the hipaa laws. After finding out Cassie was actively avoiding the test, Tom came in the door saying, “I’m going to wear you out.” Poor Cassie had no idea what he was upset about, as she put it, there could have been so many things at that time…

Oh shoot! It was that. Tom led me directly to the phone and dialed for me. He even put the phone on speaker and stood right there listening as I tried to reschedule.

The fool receptionist wasn’t helping any, “Now Ms. Duff you canceled the first appointment and you didn’t show up for the date you rescheduled. Do you think you’ll be able to make this one?”

Smartass, I wanted to say, why did she think I was calling? But with only a quick glance at Tom’s face I was able to assure her I’d be there.
      “You canceled the first appointment?” Tom asked me. “You said the doctor’s office said you had to reschedule.”

“They did say that,” I told him earnestly, and then added quietly, “after I canceled.”

There are three Cassie books now (soon to be four!) - I hope you'll read them all.

Cassie's Space 

Meet Cassie, a former wild child, who meets her match, and creates the match of a lifetime. To nearly all who know her now, Cassie is a vivacious, sweet southern lady, who is the epitome of grace and proper behavior. Look a tiny bit closer and you’ll see that Cassie has another side – the one whose language could make a sailor blush as she drinks him under the table.

 Thanks to her loving husband Tom, who even after thirty years of marriage, never hesitates to put Cassie over his knee when she strays too far from his view of ladylike behavior, few people other than close old friends know this side of Cassie exists.

Cassie and Tom show that love and passion are not the sole property of the young. Love and passion grows and changes with age. While aging may bring on challenges – the love and passion between these two people only grows stronger.

Cassie's Tale

Cassie continues to live life to the fullest, from wheeling around in her new sports car to mastering the art of riding a motor scooter with no hands, she manages to keep Tom on his toes. The fly in the ointment is that Tom’s firm wants him back for a project and Cassie wants him all to herself.  When Tom takes the job, Cassie is left lonely and bored – never a good combination for her.

Left to her own devices Cassie makes some poor decisions, frightening Sue and causing Tom to lower the boom. Tom's new schedule for Cassie, including her getting a job, leaves her little time to get herself in trouble – yet she still manages.

 Cassie on the Move

Cassie’s on the move and loving life. Through paint ball game in the woods and water park adventure she’s gets to know her new neighbors as the new house is renovated. 

     Cassie is traveling too, from trips with just the girls, to conventions, vacations, and cruises with Tom and friends, she's always ready for the next adventure. But when Cassie begins having dizzy spells Tom thinks a slower pace is in order. Getting Cassie to slow down and take care of herself proves to be quite a challenge. A challenge Tom is more than determined to take on.
