Hi Caol,
> CS> I learned to read and have been pretty voracious ever since! It hurt
> CS> my heart when I had to sell 2,000 books as I joined the Navy. I had
> CS> only a pinto to stuff with everything I owned including 2 seabags of
> CS> uniforms that were not optional. I made room for 750 or so in the
> CS> car.
> I`ve also been a voracious reader since I mastered the Dick and Jane
> series back in first grade. (G) Favorite genre is historic fiction,
> least favorite is romance and science ficton. Bought most of my books in
> paperback when Steve was active duty but now do more hardback and Nook.
> CS> Jean Auel is `Clan of the Cave Bear`. Girl then woman in the stone
> CS> age. She`s a rebel who trys to be normal. A medicine woman/Doctor
> CS> who domesticates a wolf and a horse but it all grows in bits that
> are CS> sensible as they happen.
> That`s been one of my favorite series since a friend introduced me to it
> back when we were in Frankfurt (1986-89). Another friend in that time
> frame introduced me to Tom Clancy. Other favorite authors include James
> Michener (he always has at least general instructions for a recipe in
> all of his books), Barbara Taylor Bradford, Alison Weir, Ken Follett,
> R.F. Delderfeld and Philippa Gergory
CS> Lots of differences but lots of similar too. Meantime, still chewing
CS> down the last of Lion of Senet. Not sure what next from my own
CS> library.
I grabbed one that was a give away from our American Legion post`s
library a while back and am reading it now. Book is "Indianapolis",
about the ship that delivered parts for the Hiroshima bomb and then got
torpedoed/sunk on the return trip.
CS> Today Charlotte and I had a little fun going to CHKD (local place to
CS> donate stuff with tax deduction that helps defray costs for children
CS> of low income families with serious condions, a local hospital and
CS> famous for stellar care and childrens spinal surgery). I picked a
Sounds like a worthy place to patronise. I need to do a roundup of stuff
to go to ReStore or Good Will, maybe some to the seminary`s Sharing Shop
as well.
CS> nice coleman cooler with built in handle to whell it around, 2 cook
CS> nooks and a dvd with 25 John Wayne movies. Oh, 2 pretty dishes. CS>
Charlotte found a cute shirt. Then on to Denny`s.
There`s usually something calling your name. A while back at ReStore
they had a treadle sewing machine, in cabinet, and the cabinet drawers
were stuffed full of sewing odds & ends (thread, tape measure, scissors,
etc) for $45. We`ve no room to put it in the house or I would have
snatched it up.
CS> Dennny`s is just simple good food that doesn`t break the piggy bank.
CS> Charlotte had a sald with salmon topper. Came with a generous slab of
CS> salmon (6-7oz) on a bed of lettuce, tomtatos, and cucumbers with a
CS> honey mustard dressing. I had a big bacon cheeseburger with lettuce,
CS> tomatoes, and pickles on a toasted bun served with onion rings. Doggy
CS> bags followed us home (grin). Then gas using my Harris Teeters point
CS> got me 60cents off a gallon.
When we were stationed at Fort Huachua, I used to go to the local
Denny`s a lot with a friend--until it burned down a year or so before we
moved to Hawaii. We`ve gone back to the FH/Sierra Vista area several
times and saw that the Denny`s was rebuilt. I don`t think my friend goes
there very much any more, age and health issues keep her pretty well
housebound.
CS> She went off to game stop after and got Don the last PS2 they had then
CS> found a nice hand held game she can use when the ship is in EMCON (no
CS> wifi allowed).
Something to keep her busy in down times. I`d probably grab a book from
the ship`s library if they had one or have my Nook loaded with new
reads.
CS> Tommorrow is the last day then off at 6am for the airport on Sunday.
I know you`ve enjoyed having her home. I don`t think we`ll be getting
out west to see our daughters and grandkids this year, still waiting on
the camper to be fixed and just have a couple of trips planned, Tennesee
and western NC.

Catch you later,
