We were hit with three earthquakes yesterday and I think the biggest was a 4.0. I always miss them. To me earthquakes are fascinating. They can hit at any time, any strength, and you have no clue how many you will get at a time. They are also not all the same either. Some roll, some jerk quickly, and they last for different times. When strong ones are happening it takes a second to figure out if you gotta take cover or just wait it out. The Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 was a 6.9 roller. It was absolutely surreal riding that one. You just can’t imagine your house moving like that. It was like the house had turned into a cartoon. I missed all three yesterday. I was out driving with a friend. I will be cautious today though. Another one could happen at any second. Strange feeling.

Home is where the heart is… Brilliant cardiac surgeon Heather Preston has invested everything to achieve her dream of working at a world renowned hospital. When an unsettling call from her grandfather the retired general brings her back to her childhood lakeside home, she rediscovers the appeal of life in a small town, the joys of free-spirited youth — and Jake Harper.

More on Hart Land Lakeside Inn:
Come and stay in one of the quaint and cozy cottages at Hart Land — but be warned, once you meet the family and delightful cast of characters, you may never want to leave.
Fiona Hart is the devoted matriarch. Elegant, wise, and arts patron, but despite all her efforts, she has yet to find her own artistic outlet. Lucy isn’t just a housekeeper, she’s part of the family. She also fancies herself a real life Dolly Levy, except she’s much better at cooking up trouble than the perfect match. Innkeeper and retired general Harold Hart believes in hard work, discipline, and whatever his beloved wife wants. Katie O’Leary runs the One Stop, makes the best Irish soda bread this side of the Blarney Stone, and no one is quite sure if it’s more than her baking that has the magic touch. Did we mention the Harts have nine granddaughters?
Having grown up spending summers together on the lake, the cousins are as close as sisters — closer. Each woman knows there’s no place like Hart Land. They can always count on their grandfather’s gruff, their grandmother’s sage advise, Lucy’s fresh baked cookies, Katie’s inspiration, the calming scent of fresh air — and each other.
Follow along with friends, family, neighbors, and guests as the Harts maneuver life’s curves, and just maybe find love along the way.
