The Five of Us Are Together Again…

August 12, 2010

Yep, the five of us are together again… My husband and I always enjoy having both our son and daughter home, and of course, our “puppy” Sprite is right here with us. She sleeps most of the day away, but seems pretty satisfied that we are all available to make sure all of her wishes are met. (The “she” in the last sentence referred to Sprite, not my daughter!)

My daughter is back home for a very short vacation. She spent the summer interning at the FAA in Washington, D.C. – and really enjoyed it. She was so lucky >>> She had an exceptional time. And, because of this internship, she is getting closer to finding what she wants to do once she graduates.

But, as I said, she will not be home for very long. She will be heading back to the Boston area in less than two weeks… It seems like she is home just long enough to get her dry cleaning done, so she can pack it up and send it back east. (She is packing up her UPS boxes to send as I type this entry!)  

Good grief! Where does the time go?!?

Mystery Books Authors' Identities…

August 10, 2010

Since we weren’t able to successfully identify the two authors  Gayle and Susan would like identifying, I decided to lump them in with a third request. I sure hope that we can identify the three mystery authors…

Kathy writes:  “I am trying to find the author of couple of books I read.  The female owns a large house that she has to rent out because she can’t afford the payments and lives on the ground above the garage?   I think she also occasionally pet sits or walks dogs.  Any leads would be greatly appreciated.”

Gayle writes: “… They are set up around the Smoky Mts. This man is rich, has a huge mansion, attends parties in Knoxville, and has these people that work for him to solve mysteries. During one of the mysteries he meets a woman, falls in love with her and brings her there to mansion.”

Susan writes: “…The mystery solver was a housewife, I think.  One of her neighbors was a large and growing Catholic family who named their children after saints.  One of the sons, named Pix after Pius X, helped her out in her mystery solving.  Do you know what this series is?”

I know that it hasn’t been long since I asked for the identification help for the last two, but I am hoping that someone who didn’t see the previous entry might read this one. Please post a comment if you have any helpful suggestions for Kathy, Gayle or Susan.

What Mystery Book Are You Reading?

August 6, 2010

OK, so I have told you about my latest find – Simon Brett. Are there any Cozy Mystery readers out there who wouldn’t mind telling us about their latest finds? And, if you aren’t reading a new find, would you mind telling us who you are reading?

My husband has three books going… He listens to one in the car while making his long commute to and from work. He has a “real book” that he reads while eating his breakfast on the weekends, and his third book is on his…. yes, he finally bought himself a Kindle (after much debating), which he reads while lounging around on the weekends.

I’ll start out >>> I am listening to an Agatha Christie Miss Marple in my car and while I do the house work. I am actually reading Simon Brett.

Two books is my limit… I have a difficult enough time keeping them straight!
