This note is to Shootingstars, private message wasn't working for me today for some reason.  Anyway, I just started reading this library book, Bitsy's Bait & BBQ and I don't know, I thought you might like to check it out because it sort of reminded me of you and your horse farm dream.

http://www.amazon.com/Bitsys-Bait-BBQ-Pamela-Morsi/dp/0778324230

In the book, a young single mom (Katy) buys, with settlement money, what she thinks is a Bed and Breakfast, off of the Internet, because it is her dream and she wants to make a nice new life for herself and her son.   But it turns out to be a Bait & BBQ!  Also in the book Katy has a bossy sister whom she loves dearly.  Another thing in the plot is that the boy's grandmother is trying to win custody.  The book is written from a bunch of the characters point of view, so you get to see a slice of the boy's father's life, Katy's thoughts, the bossy sister, and the grandmother.  The reader reviews on Amazon are better than the official book reviews.

I used to hate books from va

I used to hate books from va rious points of view. Then I read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Piccoult. WOW that is an awesome book. You ever feel sorry for yourself being an ASD momma, read that. The little girl has cancer. Its not from her view until the end.

I always go for other reader reviews first. I do not really care for official reviews. They just are so emotionless in my opinion.

I just got done with Promise the Moon, and need a new book to read.

Here's an interesting one

Here's an interesting one that Marc emailed to me from work, by a woman writer who coincidentally was schooled at the Iowa Writers Workshop.  It's a steamy romance, but it is a thinly veiled fictional biography of Laura Bush.  It's about a girl who killed a classmate at age 17 and who became a librarian and a Democrat and who married a future Republican president--all facts about Laura Bush.  The thing that has people up-in-arms about this book are ALL OF THE STEAMY SEX SCENES.

You know the Turkey was suggested to become our national symbol but lost to the Eagle. I think it was Ben Franklin who suggested it, cannot be certain.

You know what's really weird

You know what's really weird is that I just went to Eagle, CO and I also posted an article that had to do with American Eagle Airlines.  I'm going to have to keep an eagle eye out for these coincidences! 

Does that mean we'd be
