Turkey Day in the USA!

Happy Thanksgiving!!  
There are countless things I am thankful for - family, a loving home, supportive and trusting friends, a mom that worries and hugs and a dad that holds my sister and I up, a loving church family, books and adventures, the ocean, clean water, mountains, a good job, a realist hubby who makes me laugh, wise and funny young adults, beautiful niece and hilarious nephew, forgiveness for my sins, a loving God, the Muppets, movies, comfy couch and good wine, plenty to eat, football games and tailgating, freedom - truly blessed!

Devil in the White City - Erik Larson

Still reading, highlighting, pondering, in awe and anticipation of the rest to come in this brilliant piece of history - just hope I don't dream about it again tonight!

Gray hair!!  This is not going to be an easy task and starting to get my first reality checks but I will push forward!!!  Incorporating, business bank account and online bookstore are on the horizon - just need some more finger holds:)

Now how often do you read or hear the word cussedness????  Love it!  Reminds of a few ornery old men.  (top of page 17 of The Devil in the White City - Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson)

Seizure by Kathy Reichs

As next in the series after Virals, Kathy Reichs creates another high-action hit as we see Tory, Hi, Ben and Shelton use their wolf-like senses to hunt down treasure while dodging bullets and crawling into damp, dark places I would never even put my my toe in.  If you have a teenager that likes mystery and adventure, this series is a must.  (Definitely start with Virals.)
