Random Happy Election Tuesday
Is anyone else soooo looking forward to this election being over? It will be nice not to have all the political ads on TV. I don't watch live TV that much, but I do watch the local and national news. If we could also get rid of medication ads, I'd be even happier!
So moving right along...
This is so true! |

Sunday Synopsis - No Regrets
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ann Rule is the queen of true crime. She's an expert at crafting a narrative that shows multiple points of view, including that of the victim, detectives, prosecutors, and families. Her stories read like fiction although they are true, and capture the reader's attention with harrowing details and facts.
The main story in this collection is The Sea Captain. It is about ship pilot Rolf Neslund who disappeared at age 80. Was it a suicide? He had been responsible for a freighter crashing into the West Seattle Bridge costing millions of dollars. Did he simply go back to live with relatives in Norway? Or did he simply disappear? His financially controlling wife Ruth is also at the center of the mystery that occurred on Lopez Island.
There are six other shorter tales, equally as riveting as the main story. But remember, these aren't just stories. They are actual crimes, and no one else could do them as much literary justice as Rule.

Random Tuesday Nonsense
My husband and I have been watching a lot of westerns lately since he is reading the Lonesome Dove series. Lonesome Dove was good, but the best one we've seen recently is 1883. It's the pre-prequel to Yellowstone, which we have not watched. It's only 10 episodes, but it is soooo good. It's got Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill in it. Give it a look!
Halloween is almost here. I feel like October has flown by! Will you be giving out candy this year? We have decided not to. Besides, we are having dinner that night with my husband's brothers and their wives. We haven't seen them in a couple of months, so it will be nice.
My neighborhood has some really scary decorations this year like 20 feet tall walking dead and skeletons. I prefer the cute Halloween decor over the scary. Which do you prefer?
Moving right along...
But I would never do that! |
Have a great week! And visit my friends at Happy Tuesday and Random Tuesday Thoughts.

Fun Photos - Bayou Bend Bridges
I love bridges!
These bridges are part of the Ima Hogg/Bayou Bend Gardens. Ima Hogg, often called the Mother of Texas, was a philanthropist who left her home and gardens to the Museum of Fine Arts here in Houston when she died. It is such a beautiful, serene place.
