Angeltoes

Wow, I didn't realize she and Eddie were married for 26 years. That's not a bad run. I'm getting ready to start Alex Van Halen's book. I'm anxious to see what he has to say, if anything, about Val.

And Peter Horton as one of the middle brothers.

In his mind, he thinks he is the real victim. I doubt if he's ever felt a smidge of shame for what he's done. I would bet that to this day he thinks people should have minded their own business and not thrown a wrench into what he had going.

The book is The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland .

I turn bottles upside down, and then when it seems like they're empty, I cut the bottles in half. I cut a giant bottle of lotion in half this morning and found enough left in it to last a few more weeks.

The first picture would have been sufficient. The other attention seeking pictures of yourselves have nothing to do with Jana & Stephen.

Whoa, that picture of just the two of them kissing in front of the car....I think I need a cigarette now and I don't smoke. In all, she seems genuinely happy with him and he can't keep his hands off her. I don't know where they were going on their honeymoon but I bet they didn't do much sightseeing. My best wishes go with them.

In the 1950s, my parents lived next door to my mother's sister and her husband. My uncle would get up before work at seven in the morning to loudly cut his grass. My mother told him to knock it off because it was waking up her kids and she didn't want her kids up that early (mainly because my brother was a handful). My uncle said tough and he would continue to do it because he didn't have time after work to do his lawn (mainly because after work he was sitting on a barstool). The next time he fired up the lawn mower and mowed between the two houses, my mother leaned out the upstairs window and dumped a big bucket of ice water on his head. That was the end of that.

My library has this on order. They have it categorized under Adult Fiction.

In Desi's book (which I loved), he said the priest, minister and rabbi were puzzled by the whole argument. He said they all said,"What's wrong with saying the word pregnant? That's what she is."

I live in Florida so I hope he's lying. We're full. Ha, Mr. Angeltoes spent the day putting in a new vanity in our hall bathroom. I was at work through all of this (thank heavens) but we spoke on the phone before he went to buy a new one. I asked if he measured the space and he said he did (I believe what he said was "mmmmm"). Lugged new vanity into the house and it was too big. Had to lug it back to the store and replace it. I stand proud that I didn't mention my measuring suggestion.

This was turned into a 1981 ABC Afterschool Special titled My Mother Was Never a Kid. The girl goes back in time to around 1944 and becomes friends with her own mother when she was a teenager. The mother was played by the same actress who was Aimee Godsey on the Waltons.

I just read the Paradise trilogy. It was good but it easily could have been condensed into one book. I haven't read any of her Nantucket books.

I can understand him being protective of Kylee especially considering what Anna herself went through as a child in that family. But surely he could have Kaitlin come over and spend a weekend a month at his house so the girls can see each other. I can guarantee that if he doesn't nurture the relationship between those two girls that it will come back and bite him a few years down the road.

It was heartbreaking when Anna was crying and saying that Kylie's dad would just rip her away from Kaitlin and from the life she knows. I hope he isn't the kind of ogre that would keep sisters apart. Those girls need each other.
