Memorial Day

Update on Tug: yesterday afternoon he was putting some weight on his paw so we think it was a sprain and will continue to get better.

Today's Blog/Website of the Day is Roman Mysteries Blog found at http://flavias.blogspot.com/.

I'm currently reading THE SPIDER'S TOUCH by Patricia Wynn. This is 2nd of 3 in series featuringGideon St. Mars, a viscount who becomes the highwayman Blue Satan, and his friend Mrs. Kean, in early 18th century England. Here is a description:

It is 1715, and George I has just ascended the English throne, causing heart palpitations among the ardent supporters of James Stuart, the exiled Pretender. Gideon, unjustly accused of the murder of his father, leaves his own French exile on a fact-finding mission for James but refuses complete allegiance. Hester, meanwhile, suffers (somewhat) in the retinue of the Earl of Hawkhurst, the man who holds Gideon's rightful place in England. Pretender King James offers Gideon the return of his estate if he joins his cause. Gideon sees this as a chance to right the unfair injustice he suffered so he agrees. James sends him to England to meet with the head of his army to learn when the rebellion will begin. However, when Gideon sees Hester enter the home of a Jacobite, he warns her to beware of whom she befriends. Not long afterward a murder at a Theater private box points towards Isabella's brother as the culprit. Hester asks Gideon to clear the Hawkhurst name as only he as the Blue Satan can do.

First Sentence: A pair of tiny overlapping circles embossed the baby's forehead, carving an edge like an embryo moon.

This book was published in 2002 and has 345 pages.

Taking it easy today with Tug - I don't think we'll be walking him again today. Probably more reading and finishing the laundry.

Much love,
