Destination Amsterdam: Flower Power
On a recent trip to Amsterdam, I ventured outside the city to explore two places that showcase the beauty the Netherlands is known for worldwide: flowers.
I toured Royal FloraHolland, in Aalsmeer, the largest marketplace for flowers in the world, and spent several hours at Keukenhof Gardens, in Lisse, known as the "Garden of Europe."

Murder by the Book: Mysteries for Bibliophiles:
"Out of 15 short stories in the book, less than half were three stars, and a couple were one star, thus the rating.
It was the least enjoyable compilation of short stories in the BLCC, and I've read a number of them." |

Thanks, Lara. Actually, there are several authors out there such as Richard Ford and Anne Tyler. But I hope that readers of all adult ages can relate to my "boomer lit" novels.
It's good to see someone writing about people of this generation!
