Starting to Compile the British Cozy Mystery List….

January 15, 2008

I know I have been lax (again) about blogging… I am trying to compile a list of the site’s British authors. Or, in the case of Elizabeth George, the authors on the site who write "all things British." I know that George’s novels aren’t cozy, and I also know that she is from the USA… but she sure does write "ve-dy British" books.

I thought that the list would be really easy to compile… that I would just whip through all of the authors from the site’s alphabetical pages, and that would be it. No such luck! Some of the "blurbs" I write for each author don’t include that information. (They probably will after I get this list done, though.)

I have had several Cozy Mystery site readers ask me for British Cozies, and I know how much I love them, so>>> that’s what I’m busy doing. I will try to start posting the list tomorrow.

Colleges… Are Now in Progress….

January 13, 2008

I don’t know how to begin this blog… "Boo, hoo, hoo" or "I am sad" are how I feel, but, let’s face it, those two entry phrases are pretty negative, and they don’t really begin to cover the great sadness I feel every time my children leave our home.

My daughter packed her car and left this morning… She’s off to another semester of Aerospace Engineering, which translates for me as "another semester away from home." I am sure I am not alone in these parental feelings. And, I am guessing that there are a lot of people who are experiencing this same sadness right now, since most of the universities are back in session tomorrow.

My daughter and I share a very special relationship….. She truly is a best friend to me. I absolutely cannot imagine my life without her. I really do not know how parents managed to deal with these types of frequent college separations years ago… before cell phones. I cannot imagine not being able to talk to my children any time they want to talk to me… (Note that I say any time they want to talk to me… not anytime I want to talk to them!)

I remember (years ago) when I was in college. I talked to my parents probably once a month… maybe twice if it was a birthday month. During these "tender moment" phone calls… I could hear my father in the background saying "We need to hang up." or "She can write us a letter." or, if he was in a particularly good mood "We can write her a letter." Some of you may be able to remember those "Ma Bell" precious moments… when the minutes truly were preciou$$$$$!

But, I digress….

Let me just say, I am experiencing a "withdrawal of sorts." I am not at all sure I care for this phenomenon… children growing up and going out on their own. Thank goodness we belong to the "family plan" of our chosen cell phone company!
