Well, this has been a long hiatus. Had a bunch of stuff going on with Mother and Caroline and Ira (my brother in law). Let's just say if any major mail order meds company switches to UPS and then won't deliver to someone because they only have a PO Box and not a street address, maybe an alarm should go off somewhere -- hey, there's this little old lady on Dauphin Island that's not getting her medicine. Let's investigate!

    Anyway my next recommend is  The Good House , by Ann Leary, a sort of play on words, but really it's just a very amusing novel about yuppies real estate and rehab chic. Light but worth reading.

    Another title, with an unusual title; Care of Wooden Floors by Will Wiles - a good first novel, whose beginning premise is housesitting a famous composer's very elegant apartment.  It's a little unusual - it's Scandinavian - but if you stick with it all the way to the end you'll be glad.
