Another hot hunk!





















I was out taking pictures of spring flowers for the blog on Monday evening, and this hunky guy showed up on my deck.

In case any of you have ever wondered, this is what a romance writer's husband looks like.

Notice the way he's smiling . . .

He's seen me through thick and thin in this business, and without his support, I'd have given up long ago. In fact, he's the one who, back in 2004, told me to start writing again because he wanted to retire! Later on, we saw Under the Tuscan Sun and decided we wanted to retire in Italy. The closest we've come thus far is to have the bathroom remodeled to look Italian. I have a print of this Van Gogh on the wall to inspire me, but I see no need to start learning to speak the language just yet. Perhaps I could plant a few cypress trees in the pasture. . . .

He seems like an amazing man :D. And I love Van Gogh's work. My favorite is Starry Night by him.

Wow,
He looks like a Happy Man!!!!!
Funny he reminds me of my husband and his brother. Thanks for sharing the loves of your life with us.
P.S. I know Chef John Michael Lerma(Maybe you seen him on Food Channel Pie baking Contests) who takes tours to Tuscany. They stay at the house "Under the Tuscan Sun" was filmed. Lots of Eating and Wine Tasting and Fun.

Ladies,

So you know why I'm so in love with those sexy buns. And then Cheryl might repost his naked sexy buns again soon.
Who knows maybe you can do the Tango with Budley too.

AWW, your Budley IS cute! What a great smile! I maintain that he is a lucky, lucky man, Cheryl:-)

I'm with Ana, I love Van Gogh as well. The colors are so vibrant! Under the Tuscan Sun was such a great movie. You probably guessed, though, considering how many shirtless pictures of Raul Bova I've put up over on WR. I have more, too:-)

Hope you're getting some rest. I'm trying to multitask, since I got my enormous guest blog list, and...um...yeah, not going great yet. *sigh*
