Grammar Snufus by Karla Stover

Okay, here's the deal. When did people become "that" instead of "who?" I hear this on the radio on the TV ( and shouldn't news reporters know better )? and unless my memory is wrong, have even read it in places. Why? How hard is it to remember that people require a "who"? And here's another--myself instead of me. My boss did this all this time and it drove me crazy. Are we so afraid to  be in the spotlight that we have to say, "So-and-so and myself did such-and-so?"

So, that is the backyard, my lab LOVES the snow! And that's the view from the front porch. In North Carolina, snow events are kind of like preparing for hurricanes in Florida, everyone buys out the grocery store. It's serious to me because even though I lived in New England for two years with a couple of feet of snow on the ground from December to late April, I still don't know how to drive in it. Plus, we don't get snow that often so our neighborhood won't get treated for ice for a couple of days. We just don't have the resources or equipment that they have in the other states that are used to the snow. So yes, it's just a little bit of snow, a laughable amount compared to New England, but we really do have to shut down when we get snow and ice. The highway gets treated but with limited trucks and treatments, we do the best we can. I'm so lucky that my house is warm and dry and husband knows what to do with the plumbing to keep it from freezing. We have plenty of food and I found that wearing a hat inside keeps me warm. So if you have trouble staying warm inside you might want to give that a try. I'm not winning any beauty contests, but I'm warm!

Speaking of maintaining things, my email subscription seems to have a problem, or is that just me? I got a post from October today. What about you? Does anyone even subscribe to me by email? I don't blog for stats (obviously) or I would have really had a breakdown last year. But I don't want to clog up your email with old posts you've already received. I'm doing some cleanup on my blog but I'm finding Google is difficult to work with when doing that. I'm not sure how to fix the email problem but would someone let me know if you're receiving old posts? If so, I'll search for a way to fix the problem.

I hope you are all warm, safe and have plenty of books to read!

Look in the mirror and tell yourself how great you are! Then believe it!!

The Destruction of Port Royal by Katherine Pym

Buy Here ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~  Port Royal, Jamaica 1690 First, a little history of the town… Port Royal (changed in 1660 from Point Cagway) was a village in Jamaica, taken by the English in 1655.   The town had a natural deep harbor perfect for ships, but there was little to defend it. Houses dotted the landscape up the hills and down to the water, some with stilts in the sand, their houses standing in the tidal swells. A couple forts were built, but that was not enough to keep the Spanish at bay, so the inhabitants contacted the Brethren of the Coast, a pirate union of sorts, and invited them to settle there. Port Royal boomed. Soon 6,500 souls resided there. Ships in the harbor and a lively town with men known for their swashbuckling, rough ways were a deterrent for anyone thinking to come ashore and cause havoc. Port Royal After quake Before long Port Royal became a haven for pirates with brothels and lawlessness. Merchants bought and sold what the pirates dragged ashore, but th...
