READERS UNITED

Oh boy, we heard about the disaster yesterday in -- was it Libya?  Where they set fire to the US Embassy. . .  The announcers on the TV were trying to make us believe that it was a coincidence that it happened on 9/11.  Yeah, right!  They knew exactly what they were doing!  Some people are just evil. 

I've got another book waiting at the library for me to pick up.  That sure didn't take long.  It's Waters Run Deep by Liz Talley. 

Trudy, my tellHarlequin books are More Than He Expected by Andrea Laurence and Impossible to Resist by Janice Maynard.  I knew they didn't sound familiar when you mentioned what yours were about, so I went and looked.  One is from the series Men of Wolff Mountain.  I started one, but it didn't catch my attention within the first chapter so I set it aside and started Moonshell Beach by JoAnn Ross, from the library. 

Donna M, I never thought of all the Canadians that were involved when the planes were re-routed up here, I was only thinking of the small percentage of Canadians that actually died on 9/11 compared to the large number of US citizens. 

We've been complaining to our cable company that we were getting a lot of interference, but they haven't been doing anything about it.  Our daughter and son-in-law didn't say anything until this afternoon, then they came to our place with a brand new flat-screen TV in their truck, carried it into our house and said, "Merry Christmas!"  We've been watching it all evening and not once, not even for a second was there any interference.  Maybe they were right when they told us it was our TV. . .  That's why they bought us a new one.  They weren't going to get it for us until Christmas, but Sears had such a good deal on it that they decided to buy it now, and then they didn't have any place to store it, so they gave it to us early. 

I coughed a little today, but other than that, felt much better than I have since last Fri.  I'm just thankful that we're both over it enough before we go to Edmonton that we won't still be contagious.  The last thing my mom needs is someone with germs coming and giving them to her.  A year ago this past spring when she got the flu we thought it would be the end of her.  My sisters actually went shopping for funeral clothes.  She went from 110 lbs down to 84 lbs.  It took her months to recover.  Even now she's barely 90 lbs soaking wet.  She's shrunk in height quite a bit, too.  She used to be 5' 5" and about 250 lbs.  Now she just looks like bones with skin on. 

It's bed time, so I'd better get there at a reasonable hour tonight.  Last night I went to bed shortly after 11, and then read until I finished my book, Take Me Tonight, around 1:10 a.m.  But it was soooo good I just couldn't put it down.  I'm liking the story line, as I see it, in Moonshell Beach, but the author is jumping back and forth a lot, and I don't particularly care for that.  I'll see if it improves any as I get further into it.

Good night.  {:-)
