First, plenty of Book Reviews, including "Heart Full of Lies", "Bitter Harvest", "Every Breath You Take" by Ann Rule.
A Guest Writer compilation included as well and we have microwaved teddy bears, dogs lost and Honda Hybrids.
Of course the Blog's namesake, Kaitlyn Mae, got a year older this past year and we've got documentation of her hilarious career choice now that she's all of three years old, her Halloween kitty costume and her first overnight visit to Mom Mom.
Finally, some Delaware posts including a review of a local theater's presentation of "It's a Wonderful Life" and a restaurant review for "Jake's Seafood".
Much more.

TIDBITS Windowsill Celery Hearts Grow celery hearts on your windowsill this winter. It's easy and they're pretty and delicious. Next time you buy a stalk of celery, cut the heel off about an inch from the bottom. That is, cut across the stalk so you have a crosswise slice off the end. Then do what we used to do with avocado pits - stick a few toothpicks in the side, fill a glass almost to the top with water, and rest the celery heel with toothpicks on the rim of the glass so that the bottom of the heel is just touching the water. Keep the water at that level, and after a week or so, you'll have little celery hearts sprouting from the middle of the heel. They keep sprouting for weeks. |

Two True Crime Book Reviews as the library beckoned.
One involves a wealthy Brit who murdered and beheaded his American wife.
The other is an Ann Rule novel, "Every Breath You Take".

Here's a Book Review of a very intriguing True Crime and a well-written one to boot.
Betty Gore was hacked to death with an axe. Many of the bloody blows were delivered AFTER Betty was dead.
Yet her murder was ruled "self-defense".
HERE
~~~~~~~~~~
Here's TWO book reviews for two great books.
By the mistress of True Crime, Ann Rule, or course.
In "Bitter Harvest" we have a mother who burns her children a live.
In "Heart Full of Lives" we have a woman who murders her husband as he sleeps.
Both women were very sucessful, well-traveled. One was a doctor, the other a photographer and writer. Both women were wealthy and SHOULD have been extremely happy with their lives.
Ann Rule does an amazing job with these tales of True Crime.

Here's TWO Book Reviews.
One is by Amber Frey of Scott Peterson fame.
The other is by Mike Wallace of "60 Minutes Fame".
One was okay. The other was a total indulgence of a dishonest has-been.
It's Amber's book which is way better than blow-dried anchorman Wallace.

Review. The book is "Open Secrets" by Carlton Stowers.
Joy Aylor was a real doozy of a lady. Beautiful, monied and priveleged, the woman cavalierly contracted to have people around her murdered if they annoyed her.
This book is about the endless attempts by authorities to actually TRACK the lovely Ms. Aylor as she travelled around the world to avoid her justice.
Joy Aylor was a real pip and read the review why it was what was at the back of the book that was the real surprise.

Kaitlyn Mae is potty trained and speaks in complete sentences.
She also gives stern lectures and regrets "tooting" in her underwear.
It's a Kaitlyn post and hey, two-year-olds are the sweet innocents of our world.

Precious Kaitlyn Mae spent three days with Grandmother for the first time.
So why is this post mostly about McDonalds?
HERE
~~~~~~~~~~
Plus a Kaitlyn post and how she, amazingly, loves for Mom-Mom to talk to her. This I can do.
HERE
~~~~~~~~~~
Also, Kaitlyn Mae goes to the ocean and issues that body of water a challenge it couldn't resist.

Kaitlyn Mae spent Halloween with her Mom-Mom and she was a kitty kat.
Kaitlyn now has many faces, click in to see a few, including the kitty kat.
Also, why is Kaitlyn Mae full of bullcrap?
Also, a Delaware update on an independent running for Senator. The odds are against her but she's got a slew of supporters here in the swamps of Delaware.
Pic of candidate, Mom-Mom and Kaitlyn included.

Kaitlyn pays Mom-Mom a three day visit and hey, Mom-Mom is very tired.
But we baked cookies, took an amazing boat ride, and attended a Christmas celebration in Delaware's city of Seaford.
And goodness, you'll never guess what the child wants to be when she grows up!

The Delaware races are heating up and Beau Biden, son of a senator with little prosecutorial experience expects to take over in his father's footsteps, heaven help Delaware.
Another choice-Independent Christine O'Donnell for Senator.
And hey, I called the DC offices of Joe Biden and Tom Carper. I asked what they thought about the Kerry comments. More....

We re-visited Delaware's Big Fish Grill and while the food's still good, there's one major problem with this eatery that will keep us away from now on.
And a look into those local Delaware races, including son of Senator Joe Biden's bid for Attorney General against the Thomas Capano prosecutor.
Beau Biden has NEVER prosecuted a criminal case; his main qualification for the office would seem is being the son of a loud-mouthed Senator.
And you'll never guess who's endorsing Beau Biden.

It was an anniversary dinner and the wait staff at Jake's seafood were very gracious over my silly story.

Here's a review of this Rehoboth Beach eatery.

A combination of two posts today.
One, Guest Writer Michelle went and did it. She bought a Honda hybrid. I tried to talk her out of it.
While I, ladies and gems, bought a pocketbook and so enamored am I of my coup that there's even a picture of it.
Plus, Delaware, manly men and mosquitoes.
