Both of us are readers, golfers and travelers. I photograph flowers, small critters and old barns, and am quite into birdng. I read just about anything, but enjoy Biography and Fantasy the most. We have two dogs and 3 or 10 cats. We spend much time with our four Grandsons. I paint (not well) and write (Animal Care Articles and really bad poetry). We are simi-retired and travel a great deal. Conversation with friends, family and complete strangers is a large part of our lives. We have lived in Turkey, Thailand, Texas, Indiana, New Mexico, Idaho, Missouri, Florida, Mississippi and points in-be-tween, covering most of the United States. I love recieving emails and will discuss anything with anyone (as long as your nice about it). Am and have been involved with our local library association and humane society. If you agree or disagree with any of my reviews, for goodness sakes email me and let me know...lets talk about it. I also am more than happy to do reviews if interested in the genre or subject. Feel free to e-mail me.

There are folks who are big fans of Agatha Christie and there are the folks who are not.

Most Christie admirers will know that, if or no other reason, this particular… Read more

I began reading Caro's work shortly after the first volume was published and cannot believe that over thirty years have passed. I like others was under the impression that this was to be a three volume project but of course we now have four with a fifth to still be written and published. I hope I am still around for the final volume as I am rather fond of Caro's work. This work covers the life of LBJ from about 1958 through the transitional period after the death of JFK after 1963. Like the other volumes in this work, for me anyway, it serves multiple functions. Not only do we have the study of the life of one of the most complex and powerful men in our history, but we also… Read more
