Count me as one who re-reads books many times. Right now I'm repeating the trilogy of Kristin: Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset, historical fiction about Norway in the Middle Ages, just in case we ever make it to Norway. Oh my goodness! Where did you find Kristin:Lavransdatter?? I read it years ago and wanted to read again some years ago, but couldn't find it. I think it was after visiting Isafjordur the first time and seeing all the "sons and datters" in the old cemetery there.

Since then, I added the Kristin books, and Master of Hestviken, to my Barnes and Noble Nook library. This is actually my third go-around for the Kristin books, and I'm moving on to the other series again, too. I truly love Sigrid Undset's books. They're beautiful. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there truly is a heaven for dogs (they deserve it) and he and Miko are playing together one more time pain free. 💔 Oh Jacqui, I am so, so saddened to hear this. And yes, Marley and Miko are playing together again. There are no words to describe how much we all wish we could ease your pain. Just know that we are here.💔💔💔 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few years ago, the Boston Pops were playing a concert in the Tacoma Dome. The crowd acted more like it was a sporting event and started doing foot-thunder on the metal bleachers. You probably could have heard that from the Port of Tacoma. Other than that, it was a wonderful concert. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAL Sailer Posted March 26, 2022 #119 Share Posted March 26, 2022 To @kazu and all who need comfort tonight, may I offer a Celtic prayer I've carried since a trip to Iona, Scotland: Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the shining stars to you. Deep peace of the gentle night to you. And, may the moon and stars pour their healing light on you. 15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted March 26, 2022 #121 Share Posted March 26, 2022 After a foggy day, we arrived off Santa Catalina Island about 2 pm. It took a while to get the ship in position to safely tender. The tenders began taking people ashore by 3pm. Luckily the fog lifted about then, and we had a beautiful sunny afternoon. We were on shore not much after 3:30 and decided to rent a golf cart for a guick tour. We were told we could cover all the highlights on the map if we didn't stop often or for long. We didn't spend too much time on stops, but realized we couldn't make it all the way around in an hour. We did see most of the highlights and made it back in the alotted time, so we got our deposit back. While DH drove around the pedestrian area, I walked through the area near the water and met him on the other end. This was our first time in Avalon, and we found it interesting . I seriously doubt we'll go back when we're here Monday. Avalon is nice ,but not a place where we want to spend alot of time. Lenda 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
