My boys have a new obsession. They’ve been making these all summer long.
Has anyone been watching The Pillars of the Earth mini-series on Starz or Netflix or some other network? I’ve been keeping up with the latest installments via my best friend Netflix and with each episode I grow more and more dissatisfied. I loved the book and the subsequent World Without End and wrote a post about both books. I was really looking forward to watching the movie adaptation. I remember the book was filled with plenty of debauchery and debasement [...]
. Last year we planted six fruit trees. Two pears, two apples, a cherry and a peach. This year I harvested a dozen pears, a dozen peaches and two apples. We ate the pears. The apples were admired for their mutant appearance and discarded. Hopefully next year they will be mature enough for a better harvest. I decided to save the peaches for a later date. . . I washed them. Peeled them. Coated them in lemon juice and sprinkled [...]
Things were beginning to get uncomfortable. The Cardinal Richelieu/sex toys post had been my most recent post since mid-August, and I knew you were getting tired of seeing “What Kinds of Sex Toys Might Cardinal Richelieu Have Used?” pop up periodically at the top of the page whenever you accessed Rechelle Unplugged. I wanted to see it replaced with something else as much as you did, but I hadn’t received any more letters to answer or experienced anything particularly postworthy, [...]
If your name is P.J. or Ang Ank – there is a very strong chance that you won the recent giveaway at Farmhouse Library. Everyone else – thanks for entering and for reading this strange little blog.
A blog for skeptical weirdos who like to think and read.
Rechelle's personal, and often irreverent blog covers gardening, atheism, religion, books and much, much more.
Good morning, Rechelle!
I just sent you an e-mail with my office address. I am looking forward to curling up with 84 Charing Cross Road.
When I read your blog entry, I thought I might have read this a couple dozen years ago. Now I will find out if my brain is functioning properly.
I enjoy your “strange little blog” very much: I would love to sit down some time over a cup of coffee/tea/hot cocoa and have a chat.
Take care, and thanks very much, p.j.
Hey things a re picking you around your blog!!! And yes I still didn’t win!! I can never win at anything!! I spend every morning reading here in your corner of the world!
Holey Moley, that’s me! I will surely enjoy reading this for the very first time. Thank you.
Rechelle,
Thank you so much for 84, Charing Cross Road. It arrived on Monday, and I apologize for taking so long to write my thank-you note. We had a rule with our kids that they could not read/use a present until after a proper note was written.
I have been reading the book in snippets on my light-rail ride to and from work: 8 minutes in the a.m. and 10 minutes in the p.m. (I use 2 different stations on the home end). Yesterday I was so disappointed that someone I know sat with me & I felt I would be rude to read.
I am enjoying the book so much. I may have read it eons ago – or seen the movie. Still not sure. I plan to curl up at home and finish it tonight.
Thanks again for your kindness,
p.j.
