My sister-in-law was sick on Christmas, and I didn't see all my friends yet so I hope I get some Barnes and Noble gift cards. I took advantage of the buy $75 worth of gift cards and get a $10 one free. Barnes and Noble mailed me another $10 card. I did get some grocery and restaurant gift cards. Food and books - that's about all I need.Sally from PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649707016754971847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-25750319448715937942018-12-26T18:03:37.150-05:002018-12-26T18:03:37.150-05:00Thank you all so much for your kind words and love...Thank you all so much for your kind words and love. My sisters were somewhat older than me (I'm the baby of the family and brother is three years older). Arretta Ann was ten years older, and Jerrye Jo, the sister I've just lost, was eight years older. But, Jerrye Jo and I had a special bond as I was growing up, and one's growing up years are so important. From what I can gather so far, she died of a brain aneurysm, so she must have been going along doing something and then she just went. For some reason I keep wanting to know what she was doing when everything stopped. Was she getting something ready for Christmas? I like to think that's what she was doing, something she loved.Kathy Reelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004247271452356577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-14480886329157626492018-12-26T17:52:48.367-05:002018-12-26T17:52:48.367-05:00Kathy, I am so sorry.

Now both of my sisters are gone. I will probably be hit and miss the next week or so on here and other Internet places. The funeral is Saturday, an all in one day visitation and funeral and burial. She will be laid to rest with our other sister and our parents, which is what she wanted. It was unexpected, but then isn't it always.

We had a wonderful day yesterday with 18 guests, and I totally killed it this morning and afternoon, getting most everything picked up, washed and back in place.<br /><br />Youngest and I said goodbye to the Sailor and his sweet girlfriend - we're talking about traveling down to Virginia to see him one last time before his 7 month deployment. It was lovely having both of them here in Maine.<br /><br />I am heating up leftover butternut squash soup for my delayed lunch, after which I will settle down for the rest of the afternoon with my feet up and a glass of wine at hand, reading my new Jack Reacher thriller! I can't think of a better way to wrap up the festivities.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553268569509053159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-91995653794033538092018-12-26T14:23:25.346-05:002018-12-26T14:23:25.346-05:00I'm so far behind on Louise Penny.

She wrote The Bookshop on the Corner. I am reading Christmas on the Island, which takes place on the Island of Mure, off the northern coast of Scotland. Your list of books look wonderful! I think I have read all of the novels listed by the Jungle Reds.<br /><br />Hope everyone is enjoying the leftovers.<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-50482110781233519032018-12-26T11:24:20.953-05:002018-12-26T11:24:20.953-05:00A Bitter Feast. by Deborah Crombie.
