They sound like good vacation/cruising books -- am I right?

Yes, great beach/sailing reads!

 

[jlawall]

Get over it!

Caro is the new avatar acceptable to Kathryn? It's Madonna with Child that hangs in the Hermitage. It's by Rembrandt, I believe.

I'll ask her tonight! I would think that she would find it acceptable! Now, if it was the Crucifixion, that may be another story!

Do they have a website, I'll order it!!

Here is their site http://wineresort.com/ Too bad you don't live closer, their resturant is great too!

Last I remember her posting she said she was very busy at work.
Actually, since you haven't been around much either, I thought you 2 went on vacation together to someplace very warm.

 

[Madisonznana]

Really? That's interesting. I thought the U.S. (previous administration) had a monopoly on Waterboreding....

I belong to a book club and maybe we should give one of her books a try. We just finished a book called Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. It was great. It took place in Paris, 1942 and the present. It is the story of the Vel d'Hiv incident. When Paris police rounded up over 1000 Jewish families and took them to camps and from there straight to Auschwitz. The Nazi's weren't even in France yet. The French try their hardest not to "remember" this time. It is so worth the time to read it, not only was it a great story, but I really learned a lot.

We were stuck in IASW for a half hour one time. They did finally turn the music off after about 10 minutes!

Now thats what I call Water torture.( well first 10 mins)

Thx Karen, I checked out the website but I couldn't figure out how to order. If I was using this author for a book club I would choose Blue Bistro. Another she wrote is Summer People, BTW.

I went back to the site and across the heading is the word shop. Then it asks you what state you want it sent to. Then go over to the side bar and click white wines.

Sorry I haven't been around much but we're coming up to year end so things go into manic mode for me from now till start of April.

Also I've been feeling a bit down as I'm sorry to say it's looking more and more likely that if the exchange rate remains at the current shocking level and the general ecomony doesn't pick up then we will have to cancel at booking confirmation time :sad1 So I haven't really felt like joining in with all the chattylicious ballyhooing

Don't get too down -- that decision is a long way off and many things can happen
