I love well-written historical fiction. This is the first of the Lonesome Dove series--torturous trekking across desert terrain in the American West with encroaching Comanche and Apache (it was their land, after all). Lots of privation and sudden death. But it feels real and true. #booksky 💙📚

A new repro stitchery finish. This is CA Haire from Shakespeare’s Peddler. Very pleased with beautiful mounting and framing done by Lynn’s of Madison.

I’ve avoided her till now, but this was a book club pick. I mean…..it was a page turner, and I liked the Vietnam War theme, but just a bit too simplistic for me.

Finally read this hugely popular book. The first half—great subject, high marks. The second half went off the rails for me. Too many plot points in the mix; a couple events in particular really made me 🙄🙄🙄 And absolutely zero Vietnamese characters. Shouldn’t there be at least some?? 💙📚

Admirable courage. My first thought: She’ll now be doxxed and harassed and threatened and have the full force of MAGA unleashed on her.

Thanks for this beautifully detailed lesson. With you all the way. Courage to us all.

Such an interesting counterpoint to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn—James fills the reader in on all the drama and yearning in the life of Jim, the runaway enslaved person, and depicts him as a man of great stature and wisdom. Well deserving of every accolade it’s received. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A post-holiday resolution was to make something from the overflowing scrap bin. Voila--100 Rail Fence blocks. And the scrap bin after. Still overflowing.

Mini reunion. Carol, Linda, and me—the three of us sewed our way through the fashion design program at Mount Mary University many years ago. We never run out of things to talk about.

My daughter’s next door neighbors in DC. Probably a bit hard core for your purposes. I like your thinking. 👍💙

I’ve been running both all this year to help me decide. I would miss the social potential of Goodreads even though I don’t take a lot of advantage of it. @thestorygraph.com is winning me over. My main purpose is just keeping my own reading data. 💙📚
