Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
How have I never read Jeff Wheeler's work before? I'm hooked! Queen Mother is artfully written. It pulled me in and kept me there until the very last page was turned. It left me wanting more, and that is a rarity for me! With complex characters, vivid world-creating, and terrifying monsters, this will surely become... Continue Reading →
Oh, this was a heart-wrenching page-turner if ever I read one! It took mere moments before I was thoroughly engrossed within the pages of The Rebellious Lady and the Phantom Lord. At one point, I was so caught up in Pheadra's story that if it wasn't for my tummy grumbling for dinner, I had little... Continue Reading →
Let me start this by saying the Llama is technically adept. Over the years (read that as decades, but don't say it out loud around me, please), I have prided myself on putting all manner of things together. I have, in one phase of my life, tested software. I play all sorts of games, from... Continue Reading →
A book to get lost in, you say? Why yes! Laird of Sighs snuck into the corners of my mind and begged to be picked up instead of folding the laundry. I'll admit it: I let the story carry me away, and the laundry stayed in the dryer for a wee bit longer than it... Continue Reading →
I fell in love with Ms McCabe's writing in the first book of this series, 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 loved the second book... Continue Reading →
I didn't feel like writing yesterday. It was my last full day home alone before my husband returned from a business trip on the other side of the earth. Yesterday, the Llama rested, and it was wonderful. The reset may not have gone as initially planned, though. I think it went better. It was more... Continue Reading →
I love moments like these, nights when the sky is mostly clear, allowing me a fantastic sunset view from the comfort of my living room couch. It's incredibly vivid in the winter when the trees are bare of leaves. The wind is blowing, and I'm watching the dark silhouettes of branches swaying against a backdrop... Continue Reading →
Well, actually, I can't. There was so much snow after this storm that it took an extra day for someone to clear my driveway. Did I try it myself? No way. With ice under that snow, and a hip that likes to remind me that I'm over 60 and not in the best shape, I... Continue Reading →
As I sit here, warm and safe, while a storm outside turns from snow to ice, I can't help but think of a scene from the Vicar of Dibley. The characters come in, each with a telling of which storm was the "great storm," and of course, each of them tries to one-up the other.... Continue Reading →
I knew today would be better. After over 24 hours of travel, my husband is safe and sound at his destination. I've set myself up for a quiet weekend of self-care and decluttering. So far, so good! I have comfort food in the crockpot, plenty of healthy snacks (and one or two not-so-healthy like that... Continue Reading →
