This review is from: Afternoon Tea (Hardcover)
"Afternoon Tea" is like walking onto a painting, a wondrous escape to a magnificently alive "other time" with exquisite, meticulously researched details interlaced throughout the complex and extreme fates of the main characters. Scattered throughout the ethereal romantic story is fascinating imagery of the clothes, literature, etiquette, and surprising inventions of the Victorian Era, which enhanced the sensation of really being there. My favorite revelations were the ultra-detailed precious "keepsakes" created by "the girls" (admirers and friends) ... totally inspiring! Especially today when crafts are taking center stage and the steampunk movement is still emerging. "Afternoon Tea" allowed me to peak at love, life, fate, and paradox through another window ...

I found Afternoon Tea to be a wonderful book to read! If you are a true romantic this book is for you! Old fashioned story telling from 1895, New England; this book offers romantic, and mystery. A love story with a surprise ending you would not want to miss. You will feel like you are part of this era, learning about historical times. Very romantic with a triangle love story that ends in more modern times. Romance and devotion are not lost! I hope you will enjoy the poetic writing and story telling of Jody La Greca as I did.

The Roses
The town of Clinton, Connecticut lay beneath mounds of freshly fallen
snow. A lone shadow against the New England landscape, Lawrence Gray’s
gnarled form veered alongside the cathedral to the Saint James Cemetery.

Time Out for Kindle Reading
Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?
Did You Shop on Black Friday?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?
Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.Morgan

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
