Rambling Ruminations

The palace of Versailles. I can see why this upset the starving masses so that they beheaded King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

From floor to ceiling, it’s amazing.

A nice magazine article about Brave Face. Available on line.

Alternative Medicine and the Christian

A big THANK YOU to all who helped Brave Face: The Inspiring WWII Memoir of a Dutch/German Child get to 50 Amazon reviews. Why did I care? This is why. Of course, just like with chocolate, more is better, so keep them coming.

It says we have 48 reviews, but someone just submitted, so we need ONE MORE! In the words of Ben Stein: Anyone? Anyone?

Thanks to everyone who reads and reviews Brave Face!

Mom just sent me this photo of my dad while they were engaged. He had a terrible childhood in wartime Netherlands, but grew up to be someone I’m proud of. Hard working. Loving. Determined. So many complain about their parents. What characteristics in your parents are you grateful for?

Giving everyone advance notice...

My mom turns 88 TOMORROW. Please give her a birthday gift! I'll let you know more tomorrow. :)

Just as I was moaning about having to find reviewers, my nearly 88 year old mom phoned--over the top with excitement. She opened Society Life magazine, to find a great review of our book--Brave Face: The Inspiring WWII Memoir of a Dutch/German Child.
