OK, read up TO Chapter 17 during lunch. I hope I have some reading time tonight, but I dunno. With it being music night...I probably will have to wait, unless I stay up very late. But I'll have an hour or so to read after everyone leaves...we'll see what I can do with that.
heh, I didn't say *who*. I will let you find that out on your own :-)
The whole state of Vermont has about 600,000...which is a big increase from what it was when I was little, I believe. But it's less than many biggish cities.
I think I'll always prefer rural areas, but nice cities with character are wonderful places to visit!
Now I'm worried, though! I have a pretty good guess. I hope not...but I'm thinkin' I know who it must be.
Really time to go now. elf-boy and I are ready, gotta change babygirl, and off we go.
see y'all later.
Does Steve Fromholz' Texas Trilogy remind you of the UP?
Ask her what Haldir uses...
Well, I'm doin' 2J's toenails when we get up there! Do ya want that I should do yours too? :-D
We could do a color *other* than 2J's pink. LOL
But, for the groom, maybe nekkid toes is okay!
Yeah! He could give me his hair! He's dead anyway!
Ummm, I guess the groom's toes will go nekkid, then. ;~D
You're in Chapter 17 of the next book?! Oh, dear, that will make catching up a bit more challenging!!! I've got some reading to do today. . .
Yer okay as long as ya got yer flea dip...
I'm interested in your guess... freepmail me?
Glad you had fun at lunch. I popped over to the doctor to get an immunization form filled out. Fun.
Chapter 17 is where it gets really, really good, though Chapter 18 is my favorite.
Well, yes and no (I haven't heard it, but I just went and looked up the lyrics.) The feeling of a once-thriving area slowly dying off is the same... but all the references to the heat just don't fit at all. ;)
So, my feeling is just the opposite of yours... I like to visit rural areas, but I wouldn't want to live in one. ;)
It's not a race! I'm gonna read 'em as I have time. And then eventually watch the movies. I saw the first one when it came out, but hadn't read the books. I'd like to see it again. And I've never seen the second or third.
That's the way my brother is - the next in age after me. He lives in San Francisco, of all places, and loves it there. All the things that would spook me, he finds entertaining...and he loves all the bookstores and restaurants and different cultural areas. He gets restless if he's here for long.
But the other brother who moved out there not long ago is really homesick. He loves activity...but he always seemed to FIND activity here. He's hoping to move back after he's saved up some money.
Read 'em as you have time. Suuure. By this time tomorrow I'm betting you're searching for a copy of book 4.
You're tempting me to skip ahead--must finish footnotes. . .I am now up to Note 25, which is at the bottom of Page 3; the article goes to the top of Page 5--sigh. . .
