My eldest has just finished "Home Sweet Homicide" which couldn't be more American. Cooking dishes featuring in my favourite novels appeals to someting deep within my soul.Dulce Domumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835872248177497717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-27795618562596409022009-06-27T09:48:32.582-07:002009-06-27T09:48:32.582-07:00Great news about your father-in-law.

So gla...I've got some lovely books to read! :)<br /><br />So glad FIL is managing his pain.<br /><br />I like the poem. It's good not to make a concrete decision one way or the other with things sometimes. Especially when I'm hormonal and can't make a decision. Just go with the flow and enjoy what life throws at you.<br /><br />Well that's what I got from the poem - I am officially a bear of small brain. And we all see things with different eyes.<br />xxxxxxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-80427759865761823942009-06-24T02:06:13.947-07:002009-06-24T02:06:13.947-07:00Hi Niki

Let me know how you get on with the novel, if it's good I may get it for my mum, as she's such a mystery fan.<br /><br />Hi Nan<br />I think I picked up on the inner narrative thing because of my faith. I often think of the words of the confession "I have sinned against you in thought, word and deed" ..."thought" comes first. <br /><br />Yes, Miss Read does teach us how to be better people. Her inner narrative is one of kindly, gentle, irony!<br /><br />Hi Sarah<br />Mmmm, Rocky Road. I love Rocky Road and take your comment as a great compliment. Thank you for your prayers, and I hope you enjoyed the Eliz. Taylor link.<br /><br />Hi Monix<br />I can imagine you being keen on Eliz. Taylor and Miss Read. I enjoyed the Miss Read books as both a country lover and a teacher. Wouldn't it be nice just to slip out of school on a sunny afternoon and take your class on a nature walk without having to fill in forms and get a load of permission slips and worry that you're properly fulfilling NC objectives?<br /><br />Hi Tina<br />It's an ongoing thing, but he's very comfortable and settled, thank God. Thank you your for your kind words.Dulce Domumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835872248177497717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-57650987894332559202009-06-23T12:39:26.108-07:002009-06-23T12:39:26.108-07:00Glad things are more settled for you this week. x...Glad things are more settled for you this week. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-7160888762818554962009-06-23T11:29:53.498-07:002009-06-23T11:29:53.498-07:00A perfect post, everything you touch on appears in...A perfect post, everything you touch on appears in my list of favourite things!<br /><br />I add my prayers for your father in law and all the family, to those of all your readers.monixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631194815411019266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-29412144569797468672009-06-23T09:14:12.895-07:002009-06-23T09:14:12.895-07:00You have included so many nuggets of goodness in t...You have included so many nuggets of goodness in this post! It's like rocky road candy, full of deliciousness.<br /><br />Of Elizabeth Taylor I've only read (and seen the movie) Mrs. Palfry at the Claremont, which was excellent and touches on similar themes I think. I shall look for Blamed. And also will be reading the link you provided.<br /><br />Miss Read! Ah yes. Wonderful "buttered toast" indeed. I discovered her years ago and have been back more than once to read her works again.<br /><br />I add my prayer now to the others for your father in law and your family...coming late to the news. <br /><br />Blessings...<br /><br />SaraSara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263602850797908874.post-15553216613488456132009-06-23T06:37:48.433-07:002009-06-23T06:37:48.433-07:00That is a very astute comment on Blaming.

It's a good thing our inner thoughts don't always pop out of our mouths! Glad to hear your husband's dad is even a little better. I like your comparison of Miss Read's work to buttered toast. I find her work both a comfort and also a sort of instruction manual on how to be a better person. I learn tons every time I read her. A very good poem.
