Whew! Stay At Home Day At Last.
Yesterday was so fun! We went up to Shanty Creek, went to Burger King and then off to Redwood Acres for five hours of racing joy. The kids love this stuff. The local races here are a lot of fun and, since Joe was born and raised here, we know a lot of the racers out there. It's a blast. We got home at 11pm and crashed. For the first time in months, I woke up after 6am.Today is TALLEDEGA. For those who are unfamiliar with the NASCAR obsession, Talledega Motor Speedway is second only to Daytona (which is much more familiar). It's one of my favorite races. Dangerous, fast and wreck oriented, it's a fun race to watch. So, we'll be going to
The Church Of NASCAR today. *Sigh*. Sometimes I think getting spiritual satisfaction from restrictor plate racing is a little weird, but then, normal is a setting on my washer not the way I live.
I just finished a fabulous book I bought on our way up to Shanty Creek. (I love to read out there.) "Out Of The Mist" by JoAnn Ross is a fun romance and her characters are believeable and sexy. I really enjoyed this book. I picked it (over an Amanda Quick, which is odd for me) because it mentioned a period of history I just finished, when Robert the Bruce was coranated as King of Scotland. A brooch The Bruce wore at his coronation was ripped off his tartan by a relation of the murdered Red Comyn whom Robert killed. Over 700 years, the brooch was stolen by opposing decendents of The Bruce and the Comyn relations. The story is about the newest decendents, Lily Stewart and Ian MacKenzie (see why it appealed to me?). Miss Ross is a terrific writer and her location, a place called Highland Falls is Brigadoon with a touch of reality. I loved it. I recommend reading it.
So visit Miss Ross at joannross.com and check out her books. The best part? It's the first of a series. Yayyyyy! I didn't know that when I picked it up but I love this kind of series.
I need to come up with my own rating system for my little personal review. Diva Laura has roses. Romance Divas has kisses. Maybe Dancing Hobbes? "I give this book five Dancing hobbes." LOL. Just kidding. It's not like I can figure out how to get that on my blog anyway.
I just ordered (via an Amazon Gift Card I won on paulagraves.com. Thanks, Paula) "Forbidden Territory" by Paula Graves (of course) and another book by Tawny Taylor. I cannot wait.
