Secrets of the Heart, Madlyn Fafard

The blurb about the book, conveys the idea that it is a love story, but it is in fact more than a love story, it takes you to some of what life was like in the 1940's, during the war.  It is a spiritual story, that conveys the patriotism of the time.

My second book, which is nearing completion is much more descriptive of life in the era of the 2nd World War.  It is a my memoire of growing up in Framingham, Mass., during that period. 

Ella Fitzgerald - There's A Lull In My Life

Carroll Gibbons - Sand in my shoes

Garden in the Rain, A: New Popular Edition (sheet music)Some old songs to make new again, Sand in My Shoes, was a great jazz song, which is hard to find anywhere today. I remember that there was a local group from Natick, Mass., that played at the Maridor in Framingham, they did a rendition of this song that I loved.   Every weekend Byron Sculos, one of the owners would have a jam session after hours at his house, often including visiting stars playing in the area, like Carousel, or Ceasars Palace.

Part 1: Professor Ian Plimer Interviewed by Brian Carlton; Heaven and Earth

There is a whole group of hard working people trying to convince us that people are the cause, and can be the cure of "Global Warming", which is really climate change.  This is an explanation from someone who studies this science.  In no way am I advocating not being protective of our resources, to be careful of our waste, etc.  This is just hoping that you will listen to the less advertised views of people that study the climate.

A Gift to My Children

Jim Rogers is a gem, I am thinking about getting his new book for each grandchild for Christmas.  It is not so much about investing as it is in how to live your life. 

The Snowman by Jo Nesbo,

Wow! did you read the start of this book in the New York Times, May 15 , Book Review.  It sizzles.  I am in a stagnant period, trying to finish up some factual reading, finishing up my own 2nd book, about growing up during the  Second World War, and trying to keep up with newly published books.  Take a look here.

if you have beginning readers here is a great book for the "kids" there is a 4 for three promotion so you can buy Christmas presents now..
