Review of Spirit of Lost Angels by Liza Perrat

The story of Victoire Charpentier was gripping. Reading of her struggles during the French revolutions, made this book difficult to put down. From the death of her mother and father and twin siblings, Victoire's quest for greatness was met with much struggle and heartache. The birth of her sweet Rubie had to be bittersweet. As a birthmother, I know of the decision making process that goes behind choosing a better life for your baby. Victoire was finally able to rise above her poverty thanks to a dear friend. As a playwright, Victoire took her political views to the stage. She knew of the danger that her life was in due to her connections and plays.

The author, Liza Perrat, paid close attention to detail in her description of the sights and smells of this early revolutionary time. I look forward to future books in this series.

Birthday cake for Livi

Little miss Livi will be 5 years old tomorrow. I have made several cakes for her throughout the past 5 years. Her mama, Andi. is my best friend. She thinks it's a hassle for me to do the cake but I love it! Plus, it's a special thing for Livi and I.

Here are a few from the past:

My original plan was to do a rectangle cake with the Hello Kitty face. It was going to be light pink frosting with dk pink and white dots. I baked the cake. It smelled delicious. When I turned the cake onto the cooling rack, it broke in half. I was not happy. Andi ran to the store to buy a generic cake so that I could make it into something wonderful. I'll get the before picture from her so you can compare to what I came up with.

This years Hello Kitty:

A surprise in my garden

This is my first year of gardening. The soil at our house is clay so we decided that box gardening was a good option. I made the mistake of putting 2 plants per square. My garden exploded. I tried to trim but it was too late. Oh well, better luck next year.

Rich went to pick veggies today and found a beautiful squash/zucchini hybrid. I thought I'd share.

Review of Morning Commute by Scott Zavoda

Morning Commute (Short story ebook)

This is my first review through Tomoson. I was chosen to review a book by this author. I love to read and love any opportunity to read something new.

The plot of this story was hilarious. It is typical of anyone who has to drive on the freeway during rush hour. I was off put by the profanity as I felt like it didn't add anything to the story.

Would I refer a friend? Maybe a few
