Every Little Thing About You by THE Lori Wick is a fever dream.
I don’t know where to start but I guess from the beginning. Texas Ranger Slater hands in his badge because he has recently converted and doesn’t want to constantly be traveling so he can go to church and get spiritual direction and Fellowship. He’s riding back to his brother’s ranch and stops in Shotgun and goes to the saloon to…sit down or something. He wasn’t … Continue reading Every Little Thing About You by THE Lori Wick is a fever dream.
Herb Update
Time for my herb update. The Oregano survived the winter once again, bushed out and produced abundantly. I’ve dried quite a bit and have been very pleased. I’ve decided to let it go for the summer and its flowering away. I’ve had it for three years(?) now, and after a couple of years it gets woody, which I’ve seen a bit, so I’m not sure … Continue reading Herb Update
Bamboo and Lace Part II
I don’t know if you all remember Maria’s review of Bamboo and Lace, but I recently read the book and hoo boy, I’m inserting my thoughts. This book was beyond ridiculous but classic Lori. It was set in “modern times” so like 1987. Lily lives on this fake island or something in “Asia” with her dad who is a missionary. The thing with this island … Continue reading Bamboo and Lace Part II
Italy Part VIII
Our last day arrived and we woke up early to go to the airport. We had a bit of a wait for our flight to leave, but I was glad of the cushion as I didn’t feel rushed going through security and checking our bags and everything. Since we were leaving the country, the process took a bit longer than it did in Dayton. The … Continue reading Italy Part VIII
Italy Part VII
Our last day being tourists arrived. We left Florence in the morning and headed to Siena. Here we had another walking tour which was slightly less interesting than the one for Florence. The two main tidbits of information I retained was: There’s a horse race every year of about nine horses, and each horse is blessed before the race inside the church. Except for one … Continue reading Italy Part VII
Italy Part VI
Sunday morning we had free time until about 11:30 so Gianna and I had bought tickets to climb Giotto’s Bell Tower. The googlemaps wasn’t working and when we asked the front desk clerk for assistance, he said we could walk and gave us a map and even drew us a route to get there. It looked like a straight shot and since we had wandered … Continue reading Italy Part VI
Italy Part V
Our second day in Assisi rolled around and as we were eating breakfast, I commented I had not seen Marcelo, our tour guide since we arrived in Italy, eat or drink a single thing. As if he knew I was talking about him, he walked past only a few minutes later with a plate of food proving he was indeed human. As we were all … Continue reading Italy Part V
Italy Part IV
Friday morning we packed our things, said good-bye to our cardboard box beds, and boarded the motorcoach for Assisi. It was a 2-3 hour drive and pretty much everyone took naps. When we stopped for a bathroom break, I saw my first Italy mountain or just a really tall hill, I dunno. Our first stop in Assisi was the Basilica of St. Mary of the … Continue reading Italy Part IV
Italy Part III
Our third day in Rome dawned and Gianna and I, after our adventure of the day before, decided to undertake another adventure. We would go to Anzio that afternoon. During WWII, our grandpa was at Anzio during Operation Shingle and when we found out it was only an hour train ride from Rome, we felt we had to go. We stuck with the group that … Continue reading Italy Part III
Italy Part II
Day three of our trip we woke up in Rome, our shutter still stuck. We gathered all of our American gumption and told the front desk lad that our shutter stuck. *Shrugged shoulders as if we had no idea what happened.* He said they would look into it. Originally the itinerary for Wednesday morning was having FRONT ROW SEATS for the papal audience. When Pope … Continue reading Italy Part II
