I received my Christie Newsletter for the month.
It explained
how the International Mystery Writers’
Festival is going on
now in Kentucky.
Discovering New Mysteries – International Mystery Writers Festival
Of course Agatha Christie is headlining the event with live radio

I recently read Sally Goldenbaum’s second book in her series
Seaside Knitters, titled Patterns in the Sand.
I LIKED IT. It became a “page turner”. She’s very good setting

living on Cape Ann.
It’s a good little mystery, a young stranger comes to town, a
resident dies, then [...]

books, Robin Hood, Snow White, Kidnapped, Rip Van Winkle and
so on, were [...]

a fictional harbor town on Cape Ann in Massachusetts. It references Gloucester
and some other local towns on Cape Ann. I thinks Sally has done a good job
bringing in the local [...]

Whilst wandering Michaels, I picked up some baby yarn. This is
the standard Bernart worsted weight baby yarn.
I loved the variegated watermelon colors and proceeded to make
a simple hat. My problem, even though it was pretty it didn’t sell.
So I ripped it out, (frogged it) and started over, adding a second
baby weight yarn. It’s white with [...]

On a whim, in May, I sent our 8 yr. old granddaughter some Trixie Belden books,
for the summer. I had forgotten all about them till they visited us in July.
Sydney was carrying one of the books, in her little backpack.
Her mother told me how she never heard of Trixie Belden. She wished she
had [...]
