Spring Reading

Spring is here and the flowers are coming up in abundance here in NC. I love this time of year. Everything is so fresh and green; the flowers are so colorful. I've been taking pictures like crazy as they open up. A friend of mine has a printer that will make huge pictures so I think I'm going to try one or two and see what happens. I know you'll all be on pins and needles to find out what happens.

I've been reading some good books. T.F. Banks' "The Thief Taker" is one I'd highly recommend. It's a mystery set in England circa 1815. I liked it so well I bought the next in the series "The Emperor's Assassin". I'm almost done with it and it's just as good as the first. Henry Morton makes a great main character and his lady-love, Arabella Malibrant, is an equally engaging character. If you have a chance and you love mysteries, I encourage you to read this author. I'm getting ready to read "Dissolution" by C.J. Sansom. I'll let you know if it's worth your time and money next time.

In other news, T has applied for a job with Verizon Ampitheater. He'll be able to attend all the concerts there for free if he gets the job. I hope he gets it even though it will mean some interesting maneuvering with the car schedule. Em has finished drivers' ed. There were no deaths during the driving portion and all trees and phone poles were left unscathed. I am quite proud of her. Mom is trying to get her meds balanced. Anyone with health problems knows what this is like. I'm on spring break. School starts again the first week of April.

So, here is a thought to mull over, if you're in the car with your teenage son and a male enhancement commercial comes on the radio, resist the urge to make that snarky comment you're just dying to make. The resulting conversation is something you do not want to have. Trust me on this.
