These gloves (my gloves) were drying out on my kitchen table. Boxing gloves are a foreign object in our home. Therefore, I heard these same two questions three times. (Once from each of the males living in my house as they entered the kitchen separately.)
Thank you for the recommendation and for loaning me your paperback Lisa Beiger! I’m reading this book next…here’s the initial description from Amazon: “In an enthralling new historical novel from national bestselling author Kate Quinn, two women-a female spy recruited to the real-life Alice Network in France during World War I and an unconventional American socialite searching for her cousin in 1947-are brought together in a mesmerizing story of courage and redemption.”… Read More »

For several years, AT&T has had Yahoo handle their email environment. That is changing. Yahoo aka “We only got hacked two times and we’re begrudgingly telling you because we’re forced to disclose it.” just got acquired by Verizon. Because of this, it looks as though AT&T is breaking up with Yahoo. … Read More »

A mutual friend that I share with this local author gave me Jaybird’s Song to read several weeks ago. It finally made it to the top of my reading pile and I enjoyed reading it last week. I particularly savor novels set in Atlanta and could genuinely relate to the main character as she is just a wee bit older than me. … Read More »

I also remember thinking that it was an interesting insight into why the main character committed suicide and a good lesson for high schoolers to realize that how they treat people can be the difference in life and death. … Read More »
