Hellooo

It's been a very good day. Took the boys for their run at 6. I met with mom to go cell phone shopping and then we had lunch at Red Robin. I found a new favorite there today, actually two: pomegranate iced tea and their Whiskey River BBQ Chicken salad. Wow. Then I took a nap.

Steve is still at his gun class. If things go as planned we may have hamburgers for dinner tonight unless he wants to pick up something on the way home. After that? I dunno. A movie? Gosh, Hunger Games? I dare not plan on it. :)

Having to set aside the Louise Penny, I'm currently reading MR CHURCHILL'S SECRETARY by Susan Elia MacNeal. It is a the first of a series featuring Maggie Hope, secretary to Winston Churchill in 1940 London. Here is a description:

London, 1940. Winston Churchill has just been sworn in, war rages across the Channel, and the threat of a Blitz looms larger by the day. But none of this deters Maggie Hope. She graduated at the top of her college class and possesses all the skills of the finest minds in British intelligence, but her gender qualifies her only to be the newest typist at No. 10 Downing Street. Her indefatigable spirit and remarkable gifts for codebreaking, though, rival those of even the highest men in government, and Maggie finds that working for the prime minister affords her a level of clearance she could never have imagined—and opportunities she will not let pass. In troubled, deadly times, with air-raid sirens sending multitudes underground, access to the War Rooms also exposes Maggie to the machinations of a menacing faction determined to do whatever it takes to change the course of history. Ensnared in a web of spies, murder, and intrigue, Maggie must work quickly to balance her duty to King and Country with her chances for survival. And when she unravels a mystery that points toward her own family’s hidden secrets, she’ll discover that her quick wits are all that stand between an assassin’s murderous plan and Churchill himself.

It was published in April 2012 and has 384 pages. This is a digital loan from the library The world of that time is being created very well but my only complaint at this point is that I'm 24% into the book but she's not really solving anything. A crime was comitted but she's not involved in it.

All right, off you go.

Much love,
