Books I bought today

 Today I bought 4 books on Amazon intending to give one of the four, or maybe more, to my son the reader for Christmas.  My son does not read my kind of books.  All four books are my kind of books.

1. American Predator, The hunt for the most meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century, my son likes fantasy books about fantasy sociaties.  I don't think this is a fantasy book.

2. The Warmth of Other Suns, The Epic Story of America's Great Migration.  This about three unique African Americans that fled the south 1930-1920 time period.  Not a fantasy.

3. To Rescue the Constitution: George Washington and the Fragile American Experiment – A Dramatic Biography of the Founding Fathers and Early America's Struggle for Unity by Bret Baier....Not a fairy tail.

4. The Outlaws of Brunswick County Paperback – by Dean Smith (Author)

Think you know the real rural South? The Outlaws of Brunswick County is a searing, sharply observed memoir that tears through the myth of rural simplicity and lays bare the beauty, brutality, and contradictions of life in the forgotten corners of America.

This a a memoir written by a known writter.  I know I will really like this book, so I think it is the one I will give to Son for Christmas.  Here is what he wrote about this book.



Maybe not a fairy tale.


Burr...

 


Sunny and bright this am but looks are deceiving.  The low this morning was 11.


Now at 9, it has warmed up to a balmy 14.  It is not supposed to get above freezing today. Tomorrow is supposed to be much better but still cold at night, then a nice warm-up for the rest of the week.

New cookware

 


I bought this for myself today.  I got down to just odds and ends cookware. The other day I couldn't find the lid to my big fryer.  I finally found it, but not when I needed it. This set does not have a big fryer, but I usually only cook for 2 people. I actually choose this set because it was pretty. I will see if Hannah wants any of my odds and ends.

Uncle to the rescue

 



Hannah's new cook stove is installed and working.  Maybe she will bake a cherry pie 🥧.

Deary weather

 


Yesterday it got to almost 60 with beautiful sunshine all day. Today was cold and deary with a high in the mid 40s. I am ready for summer.
