Black-Eyed Susans by Julia Heaberlin
Just finished another Thriller. It starts with the main Character Tessa present day and then flashs back to a teenage Tessie. Enduring a traumatic event, it unfolds into a nightmarish horror story. The author writes a cliffhanger at the end of the chapter then makes you wait for the answers after the flashback. Genius! It kept my attention for sure!
The Widow by Fiona Barton
This is a first novel for Fiona Barton. It’s truly an original story. It’s written in flashback style. The story told from many different view points. Like an episode of Columbo you know who did it from the beginning. The ‘why’ is the most fascinating part. Why did she push her husband in front of a bus? The story unfolds from there.

Had lunch with a friend today:
Nesting
I saw a little bird flying with a few sprigs of nesting materials. I was inspired to fix up my own nest.
Vacation Days
April 14th. It’s our anniversary!! Ten years!!! I feel old…
The view from our balcony. I could’t go too far from our room yesterday as I wasn’t feeling well. Lots of people watching. I felt like I was in Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window. I love that movie. I might have to watch that when I get home.
I finished The Nest by Kenneth Oppel. It was great. A quick read and the story of this lad kept me glued to the page!
Vacation Days
April13,2017 vacation Day 5 Still sunny, still hot. I started The Nest by Kenneth Oppel. The main character is a boy called Steven, in his words he tells the story. His parents, sister, and new baby are the people in his world. The new baby has a congenital defect. His stories and dreams reflect his struggle to understand. What I like about the book so far is the discussion about wasps, bees and nests. I’m totally in the category of nesters. Even on vacation I’ve made a nest with chairs and cushions. In the nest is yarn, music, and books. I’m having a hard time chronicling my adventures in the past few days as Wifi is not always available. As a chameleon adapts, so do I. So my posts are sporadic. 
Vacation Day One
Reviewing my new knitting books and magazines…
On a happier note….
Today I made this copper nest ring. I can’t claim the design because the design is from a local designer Carla Dunham.https://www.instagram.com/carladunhamjewellery/?hl=en I purchased the materials at Michaels. The beads are from my vintage collection.
I’m calling it my Superpower ring:)
