Merry Christmas Eve


My boys would be on that milk immediately, the milkaholics.


 Are you watching Santa deliver presents on NORAD? Hmmmm??



Currently reading THE FIERY CROSS by Diana Gabaldon. 5th of 8 in Outlander series.


The year is 1771, and war is coming. Jamie Fraser’s wife tells him so. Little as he wishes to, he must believe it, for hers is a gift of dreadful prophecy—a time-traveler’s certain knowledge. Born in the year of Our Lord 1918, Claire Randall served England as a nurse on the battlefields of World War II, and in the aftermath of peace found fresh conflicts when she walked through a cleftstone on the Scottish Highlands and found herself an outlander, an English lady in a place where no lady should be, in a time—1743—when the only English in Scotland were the officers and men of King George’s army.  Now wife, mother, and surgeon, Claire is still an outlander, out of place, and out of time, but now, by choice, linked by love to her only anchor—Jamie Fraser. Her unique view of the future has brought him both danger and deliverance in the past; her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through the perilous years ahead—or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes....

Published 2001; 979 pages. STARZ still is still airing season 4 and I re-read book 4 before it started, but feeling the need to find out what happens next. I think I had stopped reading the series after the 4th book back when it was originally written.



And my Dana Girls books showed up. The Powers That Be re-released the series in the 70s and renumbered them - distinguishable by the white covers which I like. This is the re-numbered book one. THE MYSTERY OF THE STONE TIGER.


A black-robed figure and a marble tiger are the clues in the exciting mystery surrounding a private museum

Published 1963; 175 pages.


We're closing at noon at work. I'm making the beef Wellington for dinner tonight. I'll give Steve his gift tonight as well.


 Have a Merry Christmas!

Much love,
