Happy Holidays

Whenever you celebrated,I hope you had a great Thanksgiving . We did. Family, good food, games, football, and lots of laughter. You can’t tell that from this picture. Everyone was focused on eating the meal. LOL Bob supervised Kathryn again on making the turkey, and she took notes this time. At any rate, it was the traditionally wonderfully moist Bob-Kathryn turkey. My plate is more full than I in Read more of this blog post »

Romantic suspense at its best! Great characters and setting with a complex plot that keeps you guessing. The bad guys are really evil, but you still get a good ending.

Marsha’s Quotes

“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”
― Marc Hack

“And I have no control over which yesterdays I keep and which ones get deleted. This disease will not be bargained with. I can't offer it the names of the US presidents in exchange for the names of my children. I can't give it the names of state capitals and keep the memories of my husband.
...My yesterdays are disappearing, and my tomorrows are uncertain, so what do I live for? I live for each day. I live in the moment. Some tomorrow soon, I'll forget that I stood before you and gave this speech. But just because I'll forget it some tomorrow doesn't mean that I didn't live every second of it today. I will forget today, but that doesn't mean that today doesn't matter.”
― Lisa Genova, Still Alice
