I am sorry, but I haven't.... It is still the one sitting on my nightstand to read next, but I haven't been of the mind to read! - I should. I want to. Just had my mind on other distractions.

When I do, You will be the first one I tell. I am inspired now, I do so like the title, and it sounds interesting!

I understand about the distractions.... I've had plenty of my own. In brief: my aunt has been diagnosed with early stage senile dementia (possibly Alzheimer's) and we have arranged to move her to an "assisted living" facility closer to us....

As far as Peace Like a River though, you will love it! I know you will.... It is quirky, creative, and unique.

As far as entmoot, I'm not sure at this point. I think I will just have to play it by ear and see if I can "get away" with it closer to the last minute.... I would like to come with my son, Will, for at least a couple of days.... That "castle" looks cool! Is 5 bedrooms enough, though? I kind of like my privacy anyway, so a hotel room near the beach would be fine with me....
