Posted by Vicki on Feb 3, 2012
I had to admit my curiousity when I ran across “bajulimports pandora jewelry“. So I took the time to go take a peek. I was pleasently suprised. Now I will tell you that when I was “window shopping” on their website, I did not pay a bit of attention to prices, so I can’t tell you if they are really expensive or not. But I can tell you that I liked their stuff.

ABOUT THE BOOK
In 1866 Colorado, Ethan Kincaid agrees to a marriage of convenience with the same casual disregard he gives every decision. Audra Gilliland, young mother of two, accepts his proposal because she wants to stop being a burden to her newly married stepdaughter. And suddenly both of them are in far deeper than they’d planned.
Ethan doesn’t expect Audra to affect him so profoundly, and when she begins to, he’s terrified of the pain he’s felt before when someone he loved was seriously injured on his watch. He’s determined that his new wife will do as he says so he can keep her safe from the dangers that lurk on their ranch. Audra has been cared for all her life by one man or another–and they’ve done a poor job of it. Now she’s planning to stand up for herself. And her new husband had better agree or get out of her way!
What will it take to transform two wayward hearts fearful of getting in too deep into two trusting hearts ready to risk falling deeply in love?

San Francisco Drug Alcohol Rehab Treatment Center
Posted by Vicki on Jan 31, 2012
There are many things that irritate me, one of which would be things like “san francisco drug alcohol rehab treatment center“. Does anyone else see a problem with that title? NO CAPITALS!!!!!! At the very least San Francisco should be capitalized because it’s a proper noun. Has no-one bothered to teach people nowadays that proper nouns are capitalized??
Well, that’s my beef for the day. What’s yours??
Microphone
Posted by Vicki on Jan 31, 2012
A couple of years ago I bought one of those kareoke microphones that plug into the t.v. I suppose I should have known that it wouldn’t be anything special, but I must admit that I was rather disappointed in the quality. I was looking for something that would aid the girls in their singing interest, and that just didn’t help at all, because the sound quality was very poor.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Set in the 1800s, Ruth’s Redemption, is an unusual depiction of the lives of slaves and free blacks in pre-Civil War America. Bo, a main character, was educated while a slave. He was given his freedom and now owns a farm buying slaves for the sole purpose of giving them their freedom.
Bo is also a man of God and widower whose life is destined to change when he meets the proud and hard-hearted slave girl, Ruth. Ruth has known nothing but servitude and brutality since being separated from her mother at age thirteen. Purchased and sold primarily for breeding, Ruth struggles to adjust to life outside of bondage. She wants no part of Bo’s Godly devotion. Yet Bo is unlike any man she’s known and her experiences with him will leave her forever changed.
A gripping slave era novel, Ruth’s Redemption is a story of love, forgiveness, and redemption. Set against the backdrop of the Nat Turner Rebellion in Tidewater, Virginia, this novel shines the light of God’s unconditional love in the darkness of a culture’s cruel socially accepted inhumanity.

An engagement, a runaway train, and a town of quirky, loveable people make for more of an adventure than Tom is expecting. But it is amazing what can bloom in winter when God is in charge of things.

Snowboard Jackets
Posted by Vicki on Jan 21, 2012
Living here in Kansas, I’ve often thought of buying the family some of those snowboard jackets, or ski jackets in hopes that they would keep us warm. I’ve had difficulty in buying coats that don’t fall apart five minutes after you buy them, or that actually keep you warm. I suppose it’s the wind in Kansas that has a lot to do with whether the coat doesn’t it’s job or not.
Rocky Patel
Posted by Vicki on Jan 21, 2012
Growing up with a name like “Rocky Patel” wasn’t easy, especially if you were a girl! But then, life had never been easy for Rocky, so the name didn’t make much difference one way or the other. In fact, Rocky figured if you didn’t like her name, then you didn’t have much business hanging out with her, because being “Rocky” was who she was.
THE MULLIGANS OF MT. JEFFERSON
Posted by Vicki on Jan 20, 2012
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Don is one of the original members of the STATLER BROTHERS, the most award-winning act in the history of country music. He and his brother and two friends began singing in their hometown of Staunton, Virginia when Don was only fourteen years old. Working all over their home and neighboring states as a part time group, they were discovered in 1964 by Johnny Cash and given their first record contract. By the time Don was 20 years old, the STATLERS had their first major, world-wide hit record with FLOWERS ON THE WALL, which started a string of hits that generated a career in the music industry that lasted for four decades. The STATLERS have been recipients of multiple industry awards:
It wasn’t until the STATLER BROTHERS decided to retire from traveling in 2002 that Don pursued his writing career to another level. Having songwriting and scriptwriting under his belt, the next obvious step was to write a book. And that book was the scripture based HEROES AND OUTLAWS OF THE BIBLE published in June of 2002 by New Leaf Press. He has since written two other non-fiction books and in 2008 saw another dream come true for Don when he released his first novel, O LITTLE TOWN. Novel number two came in the form of ONE LANE BRIDGE, and THE MULLIGANS OF MT. JEFFERSON, is a sequel to O LITTLE TOWN.
Don is the father of two sons. Debo and his wife, Julie, and daughters Sela Mae and Adra, live within a stone’s throw. You may have seen Debo’s name on many songs written with Don on albums over the years.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Cal, Harlan, and Buddy grow up together in a small Virginia town in the years before the second World War. United by age, proximity, and temperament, they get into—and out of—all the trouble that boys manage to find. They even earn a nickname from a local restaurateur who gives the boys their first jobs and plenty of friendly advice. “Uncle” Vic calls them the Mulligans, because they always seem to find a way through a thicket of trouble—family problems, girls, college, war—to success. Cal and Harlan and Buddy have been blessed with second chances.
Now it’s 1959, and police lieutenant Buddy receives an early-morning phone call: his friend Harlan, a store owner, has been shot in a break-in. Cal, now a preacher, meets Buddy at the hospital, and together, as professionals and as friends, they begin to unravel what might have happened to Harlan.

Life
Posted by Vicki on Jan 12, 2012
Life certainly does have it’s ups and downs, and it’s twists and turns. Christmas time was a great time. All was well. Dad had a small bout with pnemonia, but it wasn’t anything too serious. Finances were great. Everything was fine. Now we are in the midst of some difficulties. We are not sure how serious the difficulties are yet.
Dad’s back started acting up over the weekend. We’re still not sure if it’s the same discs that he had surgery on, or if it’s different ones, but anyway, he’s gone to the chiropractor 3 times this week, with another appointment scheduled for tomorrow. Progress is still undetermined right now. It’s been a “maybe better….maybe not” kind of thing. Today at least has been bearable. None of us want surgery again, but we/he will do what’s necesary.
This back issue of course throws all of life off kilter. We shall survive though….it’s what we do.
