The Dress And The Sons Get Their Own Book!

Jul 28, 2011 by winjaw

Every Thursday, the Little Black Dress writes a blog post titled, naturally for her, “Thankful Thursdays.”

And since it’s Thursday, I thought I’d share my own “Thankful Thursday,” which obviously would not exist without the LBD and the SONS. We are beyond excited about our new book, which is due out in September.

The title, as if you couldn’t guess, is (drum roll please): The Little Black Dress and the SONS of Thunder ~ Recipes On Life And Food ~

We just signed off on the cover and soon it will be traveling off to the printer. We are very proud parents. And we’re really, really happy with the cover. As you can see, it has a picture of a little black dress, designed by, again naturally, the Little Black Dress. Who would have thought?

I’m sure the topic is rather apparent, but it’s a collection of our favorite columns and blogs over the last 10 years. And yep, there’s some pretty awesome recipes in there if I do say so myself.

From the back cover:

The best toys often aren’t the toys, but the box they came in. Throw out the batteries, which you never have enough of anyway, toss in a child’s imagination, and there are no limits.

  If all else fails, try the blue ball.

And the Sons are, well, the Sons.

   Within this book you’ll learn some sage advice from talking animals. And speaking of animals, you will discover, as if you didn’t know already, that squirrels are evil. And pray you never hear a raven call your name.

   I am, by training and profession, a journalist. Over the years, as The Dress and I faced the world and the Sons joined us, I chronicled our adventures.  While almost everyone has a spouse and children, few have such a combination as the LBD and the Sons under one roof. Thus, our story.

  We have faced death, near death and attended funerals we did not want to. They were too early, we needed more time.

  But we’ve also dug to China, campaigned in the Great Water War and pretty much blew up a waverunner.

  Life is hard, but it can also be fun. And if you have your own LBD and Sons (or Daughters), you realize you never know what will happen next.  How you handle what gets thrown at you is the key. So there will be a little advice, a few tears, lots of laughs and some points to ponder.

  We’ve learned what we’re good at, and also what we fear.  We’ve also learned we are better together, and while we don’t understand everything or the “whys,” we know God is still in control.

 And through countless bonfires we have recounted the tales.

  Welcome to our world.
