Great Aunt Annie
Tod's great-aunt Annie turned 98 yesterday. We're having a family party for her today. Annie loves candy and chocolate, so for the past few years, we've given her a gift basket of it. She says it lasts her for several months.
I'm quite proud of the basket I made for her this year.

Just finished reading...
Margarita Nights by Phyllis Smallman.
Phyllis Smallman was kind enough to send me a copy of Margarita Nights, and I'm so glad she did! This was definitely a read-all-at-once book, which I did while on my Thanksgiving vacation last week.
I was feeling a bit sniffly, and it was a good excuse to retire early, but stay up waaay too late.
Sherri Travis describes herself as "white trash" (which is really just a persona she adopts when she doesn't want people to see how smart she really is). She tends bar at the upscale Sunset in Jacaranda, a small town in Florida, a job she's happy with because she can play golf during the day. When she hears that her estranged husand's boat has exploded with him on board, Sherri is at work, but a witness claims she was on the boat shortly before it blew up.
Sherri knows she is innocent; in fact, she's convinced that Jimmy blew up the boat and absconded to escape creditors. Since she's the prime subject, she has a lot to gain by proving her theory, and she sets out to do so.
Accompanying Sherri on her quest to discover what Jimmy was involved in is intriguing, interesting and ranges from hilarious to heart-wrenching. I'm looking forward to reading the sequel, Sex in a Sidecar, published just last month.
