I ...Well, I just now read this. Where have I been?<br /><br />I know what you mean about changes in projects and such. I had this great novel idea going, was working on it, and then I listened to one of my favorite podcasts one night and another idea took hold and seems to have taken over. So, back burner for one, on to the new one.Susan M.

The characters are not as fully developed as they might be; I found it hard to care about the two main ones, really. Still, they're pieces on a gaming board, so perhaps appropriately flat. I shan't say anything more, though, just let you find out for yourself. I look forward to reading your reaction.--Mario R.JJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404985455733545060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183122592570097282.post-17728451189643080112011-11-01T15:35:52.340-07:002011-11-01T15:35:52.340-07:00Vicki, that's terrible about your cows.

I'm glad to hear that the survivors are vaccinated and that you didn't lose any milk cows or the calves. <br /><br />When things get really stressful for me I do re-read my favorite books and re-watch a few of my favorite videos.

Bear with me, please!<br /><br />And,oh, yes, please! Count me in.<br /><br />I haven't posted to this in far too long - I've missed being a part of it.<br /><br />Vicki, thanks for sharing your life with us. It is full of such treasures and richness.<br /><br />Have recently read a couple of excellent books, most notably, THE HOMECOMING OF SAMUEL LAKE by Jenny Wingfield. Her first novel, although she has done a couple of screen plays (The Man In the Moon). It is a marvelous read. Critics compared it to TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, and I can understand why. Loved it.<br /><br />I also read and liked THE HELP. While I agree that it couldn't address the true depth of the feelings of the people, nor fully realize just how tragic and awful it was, it was still a way for people (like my daughters, ages 36 and 29) to get some idea of what that time was like.<br /><br />Am looking forward to trying THE STRANGER YOU SEEK. Sounds intriguing.Sue Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18111543196106199471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183122592570097282.post-41331376836476268412011-09-01T18:51:54.498-07:002011-09-01T18:51:54.498-07:00My friend Kelly and I made pesto, lots and lots of...My friend Kelly and I made pesto, lots and lots of pesto with the bounty of basil in our gardens.

Under the surface winter lurks, reminding us to savor every moment of the light and warmth. <br /><br />Re "The Help;" I will probably see the movie in spite of my not liking the book, because I've read such good things about Violet Davis's performance, and also because so many women have roles.
