I want to thank txwhitedove for mentioning this book several weeks ago.

I read the first one and am now almost done with the second.

A 70 something widow who does not let anything stops her: not a new hip, a 90 years old randy cantankerous father. At night she takes a kayak to break into a house. By day she snorkelling at a site of an explosion.

Was a yacht destroyed by a lightening - common in Florida - or by other means?

I enjoy his sense of humour. Mrs. Plansky is stopped for speeding and she remembers, from movies, that she is supposed to keep her hands on the wheel and she does this when is asked to open the window and later to provide licence and registration..

be a Mrs. Plansky. 💪

I’m reading Fleishman Is in Trouble by Taffy Brodesser-Akner, about a divorced dad whose wife allegedly abandons his kids with him.

Have a great week everyone!

"An insightful, unsettling, often hilarious exploration of a culture trying to navigate the fault lines of an institution that has proven to be worthy of our great wariness and our great hope."

Haven't read this one yet but it's “bone-chilling suspense” where no one is who they seem -- and everyone is hiding something.

Really lives up to all the terrific reviews. Enjoy!

vacationing in Puerto Rico, and fav granddaughter flew to Alaska for next adventure working an island hopping cruise ship. Granny's still in pj's for now.

Read In the Great Quiet, author Laura Vogt based this on her great grandparents with much added era drama. "A pioneer unwaveringly endures the Oklahoma frontier in an epic adventure about a woman haunted by secrets and searching for home. A cannon booms at high noon, and the race begins in the Oklahoma land rush of 1893. Amid the crowd is Minnie Hoopes. Tenacious and fiercely independent, she is determined to endure the brutal frontier and create a life of her own." Exciting read of land run, gunfighters, Indians, pioneers, survival and friendship on the vast prairie. Great characters and reads much like the Impressionist paintings Minnie talks of.

Now reading total non-fiction There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America, written by Brian Goldstone. Among other issues, gentrification creates homelessness.
