This is the grave of Grace Metallious at Gilmanton, NH (the real Peyton Place). It's the only marble stone in a huge cemetery of granite ones which tells you how she fit in to the community!

In My Own Words:

Cloud Star King Voltaire, Natural Dog Treat, Chick&hellip by Cloud Star
5.0 out of 5 stars A good product, January 26, 2012
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The dogs aren't ravenous about these but they'll always eat one when I offer it. The flavor is purportedly Chicken Pot Pie but I didn't personally taste them.

The value on these treats is very good -- a box lasts for a long time. The treats contain lots of vegetable content, including peas and oats, so they are surely good for the dogs.

Gillette Fusion Proglide 3-In-1 Styler by Gillette
5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, January 26, 2012

This is the handiest personal grooming device that I've acquired in a long time.

If you're a busy person and maybe sometimes you go a few days too long without a haircut, you'll find that just about anyone (including yourself) can use this trimmer to spiff your appearance up a bit. It's fairly idiot proof.

There's also a razor and, quite honestly, I've gotten closer shaves but it's okay. These components are fairly compact and they all fit in my medicine cabinet. It's just one of those things that you're glad to have when you need it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is not a product that you want to buy if you're not planning to work out. In such a case, it would probably do you more harm than good.

However, this is a great product to add a little something to your efforts to get into shape. It's also a versatile enough product to span between the folks who use the treadmill daily and those who go to the gym and lift weights. You simply use a different amount each day, depending upon your activity level.

Making the drink is simple enough. One simply dissolves it in some water for a drink which approximates strawberry Kool-aide in flavor.

Adventure, pulp fiction, and Russian literature suits me to a tee. British mysteries (cozy murders) generate some superb escapism for me. I like the older authors the best, Anatole France, John O'Hara, etc. Right now, I'm reading all 12 English translations of "War and Peace" so if you need a recommendation, see my reviews, lists, and guides for each.
