With raindrops on the windshield, I knew we wouldn't be doing a country road walk so Pheebs and I slipped into and around Bayfield this morning. Not much going on and with rain increasing on the windshield we headed for home and stayed in for the rest of the day.

Finished my latest book by Deborah Carr entitled, Island At War. It is described as a gripping and emotional World War Two historical novel about the hardships and difficult times of people under German occupation on the Isle of Jersey in the English Channel. 'Gripping and emotional' describes it well and I of course enjoyed the twists and unpredictable turns of the book's main characters. This book, based on historical fact, was another example of how I enjoy using Google Maps when I'm reading. With this book and Google Maps, I learned a lot about England's Channel Islands in the southwest area of the English Channel just off the coast of France. With Google I can journey to the Island of Jersey and fly around the Island over the towns and villages mentioned in the book. With 'Street View'I can land right on the streets, roads, or places the author writes about in the book. I find this an enjoyable way to get a genuine feel for the stories I read. I've been doing this for a while now and it's also a great way to increase one's geographical knowledge.....For a change of pace, I have next selected a book by TB Riggs entitled, Forgotten Fairey Tales. Not likely I will be using Google Maps with this one but who knows. Reality lurks where we sometimes least expect it:)) |

Al's Music Box:)) My Cherie Amour is a1969 song by Motown singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder. The song was co-written by Wonder, Sylvia Moy, and Henry Cosby. Cosby also served as producer of the song. At the end of 1969, the song was ranked number 32 for the year. The kernel of the song, originally titled "Oh, My Marsha" (or Marcia), was written in one hour in 1966 about a girlfriend of Wonder's at the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing, Michigan. Tamla Records founder Berry Gordy listened to the song, and he thought it could be improved with more development. Collaborating with Motown songwriters Cosby and Moy on the song with Wonder, Moy came up with the intriguing title, a combination of English and French in a manner reminiscent of the Beatles "Michelle" which was a massive hit in 1966.

As I shopped, the following announcement came over the department store's PA system... "If someone here has a convertible with the top down, it just started raining... Towels are located in aisle five."

People don't always post on my Facebook wall but when they do, they wish me happy birthday and then ignore me for another year.
