Recent Fluff


What’s the lightest, most “fluff” kind of book you’ve read recently?


Murder at the Azalea Festival --- doesn't the title scream fluff?! Written by Ellen Elizabeth Hunter, the story is fun and relaxing. I read about this author somewhere online and decided to read this cozy mystery. The lead character is Ashley Wilkes, a historical preservationist, who stumbles into murderous situations of course. Ashley is female;her sister is Melanie. Their mother was enchanted by "Gone With the Wind". Ashley is quite certain that had there been a brother, his name would be RhettButler Wilkes.
A good read.

Days at the Lake

Loading our camper and pontoon, we departed for a nearby lake taking Lailah on her first camping trip. A marvelous Monday-Friday enjoying nature's beauty.

There were a couple of very windy days that had us scrambling to get the boat off the water,


And sunny days when we glided down the boat ramp and onto the glistening lake,



Passing the no wake buoys,



And watching the graceful sail boats.


DH enjoys fishing and hooked this wiper





And netted it with curious Lailah's help.





Day time, no one sleeping. Time for Lailah to enjoy the air mattress.


But, by night she slept on a mat on the camper floor. Make that, the dirty floor!

Bizarro Colors

I used stash yarn---hence the bizarro color combination--- to crochet a baby blanket for a local charity. I used an F hook with DK and WW yarn.

I love edgings so I added a row of sc all around, then a row of trc, and finished with picot stitch. My prayers go with this blanket to bless a baby with love.

The Beach House

The Beach House: A Novel The Beach House: A Novel by Jane Green

I got the book because of the 65 year old protagonist and am not disappointed in her character. Overall, the writing is formulaic--almost like reading a story board. The plus is that the descriptions of life in the natural beauty of Nantucket made the book worth while for this reader.
