At the moment, I seem to be reading faster than that I’m getting new books. That’s good news, because the to-be-read pile has almost reached a 100 – I hope to be able to stay below that number, it sounds way too many as it is. Anyway, the new books…. Books I got for review The Perfume Collector by Kathleen Tessaro For review from Harper. I’m not sure why I asked for a review copy of this book. It’s one of those books where someone finds a letter/book/object and then digs in the past to reveal a secret. Been there, done it. BUT: I read this and it was fantastic!!! I devoured this book. Really good! From the publishers: “Newlywed Grace Monroe doesn’t fit anyone’s expectations of a successful 1950s London socialite, least of all her own. When she receives an unexpected inheritance from a complete stranger, Madame Eva d’Orsey, Grace is drawn to uncover the identity of her mysterious benefactor. Weaving through the decades, from 1920s New York to Mo

We’ll PAUSE While You Think of a Better One

I hate it when people point at me and say, “Look at that giant VASE!”  I am, of course, a highly sophisticated vahse.  It rhymes with “OZ.”  “What’s the difference,” you ask?  A vase is something you put flowers in, while a vahse is admired for its own beauty.  Putting flowers in a vahse is like putting wine in a fine crystal goblet.  No, wait!  That’s not a good analogy!

Supporting The Team
A MINUTE FOR MINUTE

I had a great weekend this past week. I drove with a group of friends to Provincetown (our first of many trips this summer) to show our support for our squirrelfriends  who were racing from Boston to P-Town over the course of 24 hours. It was a little chilly but the sun was shinning bright and the drinks were strong. It was great visiting Provincetown on such a quiet weekend. I wasn’t used to seeing Commercial St so empty. I managed to bring not just my digital camera but 2 other cameras with black and white film and color respectively. I can’t wait to see the results! In the mean time, enjoy some of the photos from the race!        

Is there really a divine proportion for our body?
The alternate universe

Is there really a divine proportion for our body? Is there really a divine proportion for our body? Is there a golden ratio for construction? Are we being conditioned or is there something in it? So was the iPad mini the first table to be constructed with the golden ratio? Did Apple have to wait to produce this iPad according to the Golden Ratio? How do the divine body proportions influence you? Are there other implications and uses for the Golden Ratio in our art, creations, even our sleep and learning?

I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE RESIDENTS OF THIS TOWN, but some of the visitors are intellectually challenged.  The sign is for the bed and breakfast next to me, but you wouldn’t believe how many people ask the owners how much it costs to stay in “that cute little cottage outside.”  Their tactful reply usually ends the discussion: “It’s $1,000 per night, but you have to supply your own linens.” Scroll home page for 5 latest posts.

I’ve got some really nice books recently. Here they are… . Books I got for review NOS4A2 by Joe Hill The new Joe Hill, for review from William Morrow. I am not really into the horror genre, but I previously read  Horns by this writer, which I enjoyed a lot. And this sounds like another good, if strange, book. The publisher says: “NOS4A2 Don’t slow down Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be. Vic doesn’t tell anyone about her unusual ability, because she knows no one will believe her. She has trouble understanding it herself. Charles Talent Manx has a gift of his own. He likes to take children for rides in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith with the vanity plate NOS4A2. In the Wraith, he and his innocent guests can slip out of th

Take a look at these extremes..!
American Age

In 2008, Uwe Romeike fled Germany after facing imprisonment and the threat of his children being taken away. His crime? Romeike wanted to homeschool his five kids, which is illegal in Germany. The United States granted the family political asylum, and they’ve lived in the U.S. for the past several years. It is extremely important to stipulate here that as we reported earlier, this family was granted asylum because the German government threatened to take all of the children away from their parents and setup foster-care for adoption as well as imprisoning the parents. Then, the Department of Justice asserted that the practice of parents educating their children cannot be used a basis to seek citizenship and attempted to send them back to Germany. The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed to hear oral arguments later this month. Mike Farris is from the Home School Legal Defense Association and is helping Romeike fight his deportation in court. The DOJ is arguing that homeschooli

Weekly Photo Challenge – Change
Chittle Chattle

Last year saw the demise of one of our favourite and most popular venues. Urchfont Manor was closed and offered for sale. Wiltshire Council will never divulge the truth of the operation, but the exercise lost them more money than they gained. If it had been kept or sold as a going concern their coffers would be full, however….. So, we no longer go to Urchfont Manor. It was a change that we were dreading, but every cloud has a silver lining, and just last weekend we were visiting two new venues, and soon we visit another. The only real loser has been the council – oh, and the people of Wiltshire, of course. More photographs that express thoughts on ‘change’ on Just Snaps, where you can see a glimpse of the ‘after’, and also here, where you will also find full information about the challenge.

My Favorite Season
Pound Cake, Pickle, and a Sprite

Easter is my favorite season. The Jesus I love, because my human nature is so ugly,  had to die a horrific death to save me.  I am in awe that you would love me, and all of mankind, to that degree.  Beyond my comprehension. But, there is even more significance to Easter I never intended.   Here is my Easter story. When I was in the seventh grade, my cousins and my aunt were murdered by my aunt’s alcoholic boyfriend the night before Easter.  My grandfather went to their house and found them because they did not show up for our Easter celebration.  That year, instead of the pastel stains on Easter eggs, our home was filled with tear-stained faces, mourning the loss  of precious family members whose lives were taken too early by a man in a drunken, rage filled stupor. As an adult, I went to the dentist office on Good Friday to prepare for a wonderful day.  The beginning of braces!  Unfortunately, I had to have 6 teeth extracted, two of them being wisdom teeth. (Can You believe my mo

When some symptom of sickness or discomfort comes against our bodies, the first thing that we should do is run to the medicine cabinet: THE WORD OF GOD! Locate Scriptures that declare God’s will for the soundness of you body. Ingest them and allow them to do their work. See the whole process as God has laid it out in the Scripture reading below.

LaFerrari
anotherDay

Having  posted previously about Lamborghini it will be wrong not to talk about its rival Ferrari, A car of great stamp in the market of exotic automobile with a presence of a Stallion on a race track it never shows up without a draw of astonishing attraction, Over the years they have designed numerous mind blowing models, on this lets welcome the future  a latest  addition to the ferrari family,  LaFerrari which apparently is  a replacement for Ferrari Enzo. LaFerrari which was unveiled at Geneva’s Motor show boasts of 963bhp petrol electric hybrid drive train and more importantly a top speed of 217mph making it  3mph lesser than the Lamborghini Veneno and more so this car is dedicated only to 499 clients alone so pretty much its a limited car which as you know will be sold out immediately each goes for the price tag of whopping  £1million.
