Writerly Wednesday AND Did You know AND Denise's Challenge

 What is your sentence, example, definition or synonym for:

 Example: She bought her inamorato a Valentine's Day card.

 

 

 Did you know,  that Valentine's Day began to be associated with love and romance, in the Middle Ages, largely thanks to the works of poets like Geoffrey Chaucer? By the 14th century, it had become customary to exchange love notes and tokens of affection on February 14, called Valentine's Day for St. Valentine.

She had waited for a sign for seven long, lonely days. Suddenly, a conspiracy of ravens rose cawing in the air.  It was time. Nature would take back its own.                                                                 

 

Ketch-Up Day

 How are you? 

Other than waiting for my cover of Reuben Hayes and getting it ready for preorder, there's not a lot going on here. Oh I did make green beans in the crock pot. I just add a little olive oil, vegetable stock and seasoning, and let it simmer for a few hours. Voila.  I'm loving that crock pot. It makes life so much easier.  And I'm all about easy:) What about with you? Do you use a crockpot much?

Nori. And yes, we still have her in diapers.

Thanks, Shane.

That's it for today, Bloggers. Have a great one.

ZACHARYTAYLOR: America’s 12th President by Deborah Cops

Thisis part of the Encyclopedia of Presidents written for young people, butdefinitely enjoyable reads for adults. This is the fourth in the series I'veread. I have found them to be both salient and capable of holding my interest.

Mymain take away from this book, and this president, is that he was a war herofrom the war with Mexico and did his best to hold the union together duringtalk of session. There are few papers from his presidency because the home theywere stored in was burned during the civil war. He had little experience as apolitician, but the people loved him regardless.

Agood read for those that enjoy presidential biographies.

But when Cress and her friendsget to the training ground, they soon learn that nothing is as it seems anddanger may be more imminent that going to war.

Ketch-Up Day

 

        How are things?    We've had critter drama here. The HH got Nori a toy that made really strange noises that Frank took exception to, associated them with Nori and started whaling on her. At that point Nori started making strange noises. I got Frank and Nori separated then Nori started peeing all over the floor, whether in fear or submission to Frank, I have no idea. At that point, I wasn't happy either. Needless to say, Nori is back in diapers.     The next day, Calli took a page from Frank's book and started swatting Nori.     Now that the pecking order has been established things have settled down.
