Heads or Tails and Down on the Farm

The theme this week at Heads or Tails is “Down on the Farm”. I just happened to visit a farm of sorts while in Paducah at the quilt show in Kentucky this past week.

We visited Patty’s Settlement where there were all types of animals. I had never seen a turkey up close. This one was beautiful as far as turkeys go.

Join us at Heads or Tails. It is fun!

Heads or Tails and Reason

Tuesdays mean Heads or Tails! You can check out the theme of the week and play along by clicking on Heads or Tails.

This week at Heads or Tails, we have been asked to use the word reason as our theme. “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” popped into my head. They say that all the time in the movies. I enjoy a good suspenseful, who done it movie. A good, who done it, book is “By Reason of Insanity”.

From Publishers Weekly
Inspirational suspense novelist Singer (Directed Verdict) hooks readers from the opening courtroom scene of this tasty thriller, then spurs them through a fast trot across a storyline that just keeps delivering. Catherine O’Rourke is a seasoned reporter who covers trials for Norfolk, Virginia’s The Tidewater Times. The latest sexual abuse case she covers hits a little too close to home, and she has a series of disturbing “visions” that suggest first-hand details of the crimes. Soon she finds herself on trial as the “Avenger,” a Bible-quoting serial killer. Are her visions spiritual? Or does she have a split personality? She’s unsure of her innocence or guilt-and so are her lawyers, including the likeable high-rolling Vegas attorney, Quinn Newberg, who is famous for his insanity defenses. Singer tosses out plot twists with abandon, shattering readers’ assumptions but rarely straining their credulity. The characters’ lives unpeel like onions, with layers of interesting revelations. Christian faith plays a role in the “visions” but never feels forced. Smooth point of view changes, snappy dialogue, interesting details and unexpected humor enrich the storyline. Like the best suspense novels, the character development is sophisticated enough that readers won’t know the villain’s identity until the final pages.

Getting My Fill

I love Christmas time because it is when I get my fill of fudge. I don’t usually have to make it because I have several friends who love to bake and bring me a sample of their confections. Any time someone brings me fudge, I am thrilled.

Have fun participating on Heads or Tails!

Heads or Tails Time

This week’s theme for Heads or Tails is….box. I have been looking through old pictures and found this picture. My son seems to be thinking, “I wish she would stop rubbing my head. I want to know what is in this box”. It is hard to believe that my baby boy is now 23 years old!
