Long Description: Mimi Cates is an artist who lives over the coffee shop she owns.  Content with her life, she won't allow herself to become to close with her sexy, wanderlust neighbor, despite what her heart tells her.

Robbie MacDonnell never wanted to stay in one place very long.  His job as a scientist allowed him to travel the world without ever making permanent ties to anyone.  However, when he finds the perfect person and the perfect place to settle down, he's not sure if she'll believe him.

 ************************************************

Not a sweet kiss of friendship but an obvious promise of decadent pleasure. With a tilt of his head, Robbie took the kiss deeper. The scent of milled soap and masculinity made her heady. Robbie slowly pulled away, tugging at her lip with his teeth as he did.

"Ah... welcome home?" She choked on the words.

"Aye, I'm happy to be home." The deep sultry voice slid down her body to her feet.

"Easy big boy. What's with the kiss? Sheesh!"

"What's with the kiss?  You're brutal, woman." He grabbed his heart and faked feigned a heart attack.  " You didn't like it?" 

"You are such a goofball.   It's just... you've never done that before."

"I've kissed you before.  Many times actually."

"But not like that."

"That?  Was something wrong with my kiss?"

"No, not at all.  Just different."

" I want to do it more often." He stepped in front of her and again pulled her against his hard body.  "If that is okay."

 "Ah... no complaints here."

 The breath from her words bounced off his lips back onto her. His lips were so close she heat radiated from them.  Her arms locked around his neck as she stood on her tip toes. His mouth set fire to her body as he placed soft kisses along her jaw.  Wonderful sensations swirled in her body as he enveloped her in his embrace.  Soft lips brushed over hers then he gazed at her with a smirk on his face.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY - LET'S LOOK BACK TO 1967

Wow, how time flies! Today I turn 53. 

My mom was in her late 30's when she had me and I was born between two major blizzards.

Oh, fun fact...I was born in the same hospital as Stevie Wonder.

Let's take a look back at my birth year.

Some major events from 1967:
Super Bowl I: Green Bay Packers vs Kansas City Chiefs - score 35-10

#2 song of the year was "Ruby Tuesday" by the Rolling Stones.
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles was the hot album.

Most popular Movie was The Dirty Dozen but In The Heat of the Night won the Academy award. Mike Nichols won for best director of The Graduate.

The Arrangement by Eliz Kazan was the most popular Fiction book.

The Andy Griffith Show followed by the Lucy Show were the most popular television shows.

The Public Broadcasting System was created.

Louis Leakey announces the discovery of Pre-human fossils in Kenya.

Apollo 1 astronauts are killed when fire broke out in the spacecraft during launch pad test.

The first Boeing 737 takes its maiden flight. (Pretty cool since I'm married to a pilot who flies Boeing airplanes.)

Large demonstrations against the Vietnam War in NY and CA.

Elvis and Priscilla get hitched.

The first automatic cash machine is installed in a London bank.

Worst race riots in US history happen in Detroit. (My home town is Saginaw, a couple hours north.)

Jim Morrison gets into censorship trouble when he sings the word "higher" in the song "Light My Fire" during a television show.

Jungle Book, the last animated film personally supervised by Disney is released.
