I read less because we were busy perking up our flowerbeds, gardens, and property and indoors too, in preparation for company. We had a wonderful Mother's day visit with my Mom and Dad yesterday, on the Saturday so that she will be home today to receive long-distance phone calls from my brothers. To all of my friends who are Mothers to humans, or to animals, like me: HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! With Love, Carolyn.

The time ofyear has arrived when I have work outside our home and in. Especially with clean-up to do for a Mother's Day visit from my parents, reading is relegated to nighttime. I read as long as I could before falling asleep over a page. I think because so many big authors wrote historical fiction, or it felt like it because they lived in the 1920s; I expected the same. I am thrilled if this is merely in 1977!

I am finally starting this grand lady's work, after collecting pieces for years. I noticed I had most of it and went about finding the remaining volumes. It is a shame she died as I was beginning to open her stories so belatedly. However they are all here for me and I am not surprised to find that I love them, no matter what their era was. Her writing is bold, witty, intelligent, and also very artfully beautiful!
