A Newsworthy Event

It has been 3 weeks since I have had something to say.

With the exception of two weekends (March 14 - 16 and March 21 - 23) my life has comprised working for Hudson Energy Services and spending jillions of hours on the AAUW TX Convention -- not interesting blogging material.

The two weekends I mentioned were amazing: we spent them at my sister's lake house on Lake Buchanan along with extended family that brings us great joy.

I have to say that this lull was changed last night when Carl and I went to eat at a local Greek restaurant. We were seated by a 20-something waitress wh0, when seating us, looked at me and said, " You are just darling!"

Now, to a 59-year-old, this is newsworthy. . .

Things I've Enjoyed Reading Lately

"The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson -- This is a true story of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. It is true crime and history which reads like a novel. I was fascinated with the story of the Fair from inception to conclusion; and horrified at the crimes being committed at the same time. I was also amazed at the people who attended, the products introduced there and the far-reaching implications of the Fair. This is a great read.
"Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruene -- This is a poignant tale of life with a train circus during the Depression years told by 93-year-old Jacob who was a vet with the circus. You will be entertained, appalled, educated, and treated to a feel-good ending. I definitely recommend this read.
"Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett -- this was a re-read for me; I read it when it first came out in 1989 and proclaimed then that it was the best book I'd ever read. I just learned that Follett was coming out with a sequel so I decided to read this one again so I would be up to speed with the characters when I read the sequel. I still think it's the best book I've every read.
"Do You Want To Know a Secret?" by Mary Jane Clark -- I picked this up accidently (thinking I was picking up a Mary Higgins Clark) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a page-turner and I absolutely was shocked at the ending!
