Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
I sit here, smiling, thinking about A Princess in Plaid and how to review it. My mind wanders off to favorite parts of the book that I will not disclose here for fear of spoiling any of it for you. But, that is why I love this book. It makes my mind wander, and linger... Continue Reading →
When you want to get lost in a novel. When you want a strong female lead. When you want a book so well written that when you put it down it stays with you and you can't wait until you can pick it up again. This is one of those novels. Ciji Ware has crafted... Continue Reading →
September marks three years of my using Flavor Essence flavors and I can't think of a better way to start this blog category! Most people who know me know that I drink a lot of seltzer. In fact, you could call me a seltzer snob! I remember when we moved to Ohio in 2017, my... Continue Reading →
I fell in love with Flora Flowerdew in the first book: Flora Flowerdew and Mystery of the Duke's Diamonds. So, of course, I absolutely had to read Flora Flowerdew and the Mystery of the Purloined Papers as soon as I could get my hands on it. I was right. A wonderful Novella, it is light,...

Side by side, we worked on our websites. He really was debugging while I figured out... Continue Reading →

Ms. Ware has deftly entwined a love story for the ages within the beautifully researched settings of Scotland, England, and the American Colonies in the 1700s. It begins in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1760, where we meet our... Continue Reading →
Let's hear it for stepping out of our comfort zone! Okay, my comfort zone. When a dear (and dare I say "old") friend asked if I'd like to join him at Fire & Ice today, I jumped at the opportunity without a thought. Fire & Ice is an interactive restaurant. In the center lies a... Continue Reading →
It dawned on me this evening that I haven’t written a regular blog post in a while. Once we came back from Alaska, I honestly wasn’t feeling very creative. Snuffy and sneezy, yes…creative, not so much. But I’ve been reading a lot and posted a bit about our trip to Alaska. That counts, right? Whenever... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite things to do is pick up my grandson after school once a week. I bring a different book with me every time, whether it's new or from our home library. When I ordered Merriam-Webster's First Dictionary on Amazon, I had no idea how much fun the ride back to my house... Continue Reading →
