LINE OF FIRE and CITY OF GLORY.......... Finally finished Line of Fire on Oct 14. Not a memorable book. Started City of Glory on same day. This continues the story in City of Dreams and I am almost finished. Enjoying this family story which is intertwined with the American history of 1814. Bought this one and the next 2 in series at Amazon.com...large paperbacks. My son was here for a week and this of course slowed down my reading. I enjoyed his visit very much. He only comes once a year. I was OUT every day he was here, usually only get out once or twice a week and occasionaly not at all!! Met my grandaughter and her husband at Wentworth by the Sea Hotel in Portsmouth,NH for lunch on Sun Oct 7. Daughter and her husband were also with us... so nice to be together. My son took me shopping for staples and I am pretty well stocked up for the winter!! He also took me to my favorite beach...Ogunquit, ME. We did a few errands and he did some chores around the house..fixed my back door, put up storm windows on doors and attacked the terrible vine which is threatening to take over my house!! My son was here from Oct 6 to Sat. Oct 13. The following week played Bridge Wed only...four tables and won second place == $1.....lol. This week I plan to play both Mon and Wed. My house helper was here this past Thurs and did her reg routine and also helped me finish what I had started on Mon and Tues.....all containers by back door are stripped of plants and piled up under, and beside table....Kept 3 begonias on back porch in their pots just to see if they can survive the winter there. I saw the 2nd presidential debate and still heard lies from Romney...doesn't matter, I am for OBAMA again and hope women all over wake up to the fact that the GOP is out to repeal Roe vs Wade and take away your freedom of choice. The GOP is also trying to pass "personhood" bills which if passed would outlaw birth control!! All this from a party who wants a smaller government but wants it in your bedroom!!
