Hello all! The clock just struck midnight here, so I really should be in bed, but I've taken notes, so should be able to type this fairly quickly. . .
Sandi, I'd love to get a small TV for downstairs plus one in our bedroom, but Hardy won't hear of it. But I'm like water dripping on stone -- I'm not done yet. . .
Mary, I hope the physio does the trick for Don's elbow -- I know it sure is helping my shoulder! I'm glad your a/c, furnace, & water heater installation went well, even if it did take 2 days. I like the MIRA books, too, but always forget to check them out when I'm ordering. {:-(
Donna M, love the Bodega Bay/Pacific Ocean picture! I got 2 books from the Desire line from tellH, too, but they were different from the ones you guys got in the US. I think they send Canadians different ones than what they sent to US readers. I used to read this line almost exclusively, but have gotten away from it. Seems to have gotten more like the Presents line with really stupid H and h's. I don't read Presents, either. Or historicals.
Glad to know your trip to San Francisco went well, if long. I could never live in a city, either -- a weekend 2 or 3 times a year is about all I can handle!
I've written Gone Girl down on my "To Be Requested" list. I've got too many books to be read from the library right now to put any more on my list.
We leave for Edmonton on Sept. 27th, and will be back home on either Oct. 1st or 2nd. The partying will be done on the 29th and 30th. Mom's birthday is actually on the 29th, and that's when the majority of partying will happen.
I've been reading right along on Moonshell Beach, and was quite pleased with how I had finally gotten into the story when all of a sudden there's another couple involved. What the. . . where did they come from? I went back to see if I could find any previous mention of them, but there was nothing. I'm sure the author will tie them in somewhere down the line, but I hate stories written like that, jumping from one couple to the next. It's very irritating!
Amanda, our kids were bussed to school all their whole lives, so I can sympathize with the problems! We also drove a bus for several years, so I know both sides of that coin. The only times our busses did not run was if it was colder than -37, or if it was actually blizzarding and the roads were closed. I hope your bus problems have been solved by now!
I hope there's no serious problem with your eye!!
My kids never got called by another's name in school, but once they hit the higher grades (7+) we had to go in a couple of times and have discussions with teachers and principals because of teachers treating the younger kids badly because they (the teachers) remembered the older kids -- specifically, our oldest son. Not fun!
I'll read the tellH books I got after I finish Moonshell Beach. As I said, I was humming along quite nicely when I suddenly found myself reading about a different couple. I hate when they do that!
I'm on Windows Internet Explorer. I don't know if that's Microsoft or not (I almost think it is). It's definitely slower than it used to be, but other than that, it works fine.
Oh yeah, watching TV just got a whole lot nicer than it used to be! {:-) Now if they'd just run some decent shows. . .
We're having another "end of season" wiener roast at our house tomorrow -- oops, guess it's actually today -- . This time Hardy's sister is supplying all the main stuff, and all I have to do is supply a potato salad for about 20 people. She's the "hostess" but as they don't have a fire pit, she asked if she could host it at our house. Fine by me. Then I don't have to run so much! It's supposed to be about 23 degrees C tomorrow, which should be just about right for a nice evening. I hope they're right -- they've got rain forecast for Sunday. . .
I really think it's time to head to bed. . . Good night! {:-)
