I live simply by the sea amidst sand and sun with my singer-songwriter husband. We're surrounded by woods which give us the illusion of privacy and exquisite gardens. We cultivate our own organic herbs, vegetables and flowers, and meditate and relax in our beautiful gardens home to myriad flora and fauna. We create a faint carbon footprint. I am... more »

    Hi Sheila:
    Thank you very much for the Roger Williams recommendation. You're right: it sounds just like the type of book in which I would be interested - -it's added to my TBR list! I was raised as a Baptist (my father was a minister), and I remember Roger Williams was considered to be an important person in our heritage. However I do not know much about Williams, his beliefs, or the impact he had on Puritan New England . . . it would indeed be fascinating to learn more. Also, I was in Providence Rhode Island on business a few years ago, and my interest was piqued when I strolled through Roger Williams National Park - - which I believe is America's tiniest national park?
    Recently I've been working my way through early 20th century American writers: A.B. Guthrie, Willa Cathers, Booth Tarkington. These have been gaping holes in my "middle" American author reads (verses the earlier Hawthorne, Fenimore Cooper, etc.). I've been enjoying the reads - - especially Tarkington - - he compares/contrasts well with F. Scott Fitzgerald.
    How about you? Hope you're doing well - - and thanks again for the excellent recommendation!
    Scott

    It does say, "got reindeer?"! She is actually standing in front of the enclosure for the real live reindeer at the Santa House in North Pole, Alaska. Her fun little personality shines in this photo, making it one of my favorites. Every fall we drive the eastern loop up to Fairbanks and loop around on the western highway by Denali. The foliage is amazing; last year we had crisp mountain vistas against blue sky-it was spectacular and I got some of my favorite pics of the summer of my kiddos. You have to time it just right though, as fall can be quick as you go north.

    Thank-you so much for your kind thoughts and lovely words about our family, She. Winter is very bittersweet sometimes, but I would not trade the chance to be her mommy. She is strong, strong, strong! Probably would have driven me crazy had she been a normal, healthy girl! She is resting easy at the moment, so I am putting my feet up and watching monitors...

    Yes, Haapy New Year and thanks for the reading pleasure from your fine recommendations.

    Looks like for the coming year we will both be looking to complete as many as possible from certain author, such as Erdrich, Kingsolver, Murakami, Brooks, and Doris Kearns. I couldn't complete Panuk's "Snow", but your appreciation of him leads me to aim for his "Red".

    Will look for the Feynman. I loved Garner's "Genius", which really looked for the origins of his special genius. I remember much pleasure from his tales in "Surely, You're Joking, Mr. Feynman".

    Will also look for "This Earth of Mankind" and finish "Angle of Repose", speeded by your recommendation. If I am not exhausted on the Middle East of T.E. Lawrence after I finish "Hero", I will pursue "The Desert Queen" from your rating.

    I love literature of place, so would be interested in what state in New England you are living in.

    Thanks, it is a book that I put on my TBR list because of someone's review here at Shelfari. I haven't started yet but hopefully tonight I will. Best wishes for the New Year and a lot of good reading!

    I like your new icon! Off to Sri Lanka tonight, then Holland for New Year's eve. How are you doing?
    I am reading ELENI set in Greece during and after WWII. True story - very touching, frightening and deepening my feelings for the Greek people, positively and negatively.

    That's funny because my profile pic is of Martha's Vineyard! We got to go there for the first time this past summer.
    It's a good thing that I can support your stand, but I am still coloring mine. It is such an ugly shade of grey I can't stand to look at myself!
    I live in southwest MA, close to Springfield.

    She: I see you connected with "The Orchard." Somehow, I knew you would. Fantastic book, isn't it? It's on my top five list for 2012.

    Sending you thoughts of strength and determination, my friend. Good for you on the successful retreat. It's good to embrace other modalities of healing. I'm glad it was a success. Yes, every cloud has a silver lining. I'm doing well, thank you. I've been working too hard but now I get a little break for Thanksgiving week, for which I am blessed. I've been making it a point to write and speak thankful things every day in the month of November.

    I read her Mean Spirit, but could only give it 3 stars. Will be glad to give her another chance on your recommendation. Other motivations are that I grew up in Oklahoma, and I have long enjoyed plumbing Native American literature (I just checked my Shelf to learn I have 60 with that as tag). My rural community in OK was half Cherokee, I had Navaho friends in college and Ute co-workers when I lived in Utah, and during my sojourn in Maine I worked at a Passamaquoddy health center and have worked on numerous grant projects involving that tribe.

    Hi She!

    I visited Balboa Park here in San Diego today-where I met and spoke with 99% supporters. Sounded like corporate infiltration and control of the United States govt. was on the possible list of grievances.

    I am concerned about our public libraries becoming privatized and outsourced. I started my first discussion on Better Than Starbucks - "13 Things you Pay for that are FREE At The Library" Speaking of bigotry, there is a Diversity Outreach included in a section of the ALA(American Library Association) 2011 Update, which mentions librarianship on the Navajo Reservation-I graduated from Chinle High on the reservation-small world.

    I've read "To Kill A Mockingbird" My daughter has always called me by my first name since I don't remember when- When a family member or/and a stranger would ask me why I allowed my daughter to call me by my first name, I would answer "If it's good enough for Atticus it's good enough for me!"

    Hi. Glad you like my avatar. That was posted 4 months ago, so I don't remember if it was the current one, or the real pretty painting I had up before. I forget when I changed it. HA.
