Friday night

So we're babies, huh?  Twenty years in a tropical climate will do that to you.  My blood has thinned to the point that no matter how much I'd like to move back to York, PA, I know there's no way I could stand the cold anymore.  But it was a sunny day and that made it a lot warmer than expected so I did wear shorts and a tee shirt! Ha! Not too many people went swimming though as it barely hit 70 and even the most hardened snowbirds wouldn't face those air temps after the heated pool.  Oh, and while the snow is falling up North, we'll have mid-70's and sunshine over the weekend; there are times when I wouldn't change Florida for all the tea in China! :)

Mary~~I'm enjoying reading your posts on Goodreads.  Glad you enjoyed Julianne MacLean's book; I read all three in the series and loved them (really into Scottish medieval romances).  Saw that they expelled the student who started the fight, good!

Mary and Amanda~~Please stay safe this weekend, although the weather reports don't show you getting the amount of snow as NYC and points north.  However, you'll get enough to be dangerous.  I've been watching all my sites all day and will all weekend if I can.

I've been to Madame Toussuad's in London many years ago.  My mother always talked about going there when she was stationed there during WWII so I had to see it when I was in London.  Saw a man sitting on a bench that I could swear was real! LOL!  The guillotine room was scary though.

I've just about finished Karen Ranney's newest release, The Lass Wore Black.  It's really good and not what you'd think.  The story deals with the aftermath of a disfiguring accident, a lover scorned and a persistent physician/lover who wouldn't take "No" for an answer.  I highly recommend it.

Now for the bad news:  As I write this my friend Sharon lies at death's door.  The doctors can do nothing more for her.  She can't walk anymore as her back is broken (I think due to the cancer).  She can't talk and now she's sleeping a lot.  The end is near, like days or less.  Sharon turned 61 on Jan. 25th.  This is so hard for me.
