I wish I could ride my bike to the store...but here in GA, you'd get run over by a car since there are no sidewalks in some places and we have horrible hills. So, I'd be a disgusting sweaty mess by the time I got there. :-) I dream of living where I could do that one day. Is it fairly flat where you live with sidewalks?<br /><br />I did not know that about the French police. It's like people lost their minds during that time. I can't fathom how or why those things happened...make me literally sick to my stomach. I can't read books like that...so sad...so I'm glad you gave such a good review. It would have kept me awake at night for weeks!Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09655622740971576915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-14128020554340119902010-05-10T19:34:52.913-04:002010-05-10T19:34:52.913-04:00What a fantastic review of this intriguing book. ...What a fantastic review of this intriguing book.

Your soup recipe looks good- I'm always replicating restaurant recipes. <br />I wish you could be able to join us for our Ohio Bloggers get-together. I saw that your comment on Jo's blog that you are too far from Tipp City to make it. <br />There are girls from Cincy, Columbus, Mansfield, and Lancaster who are interested in coming. Please e-mail me and let me know what you think might be more convenient. Hope to hear from you. ~ SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12843513751203663201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-6566035118661924012010-05-09T12:06:31.926-04:002010-05-09T12:06:31.926-04:00It is an excellent recipe!

You are creative, and you have a whimsical side to you, which comes through in your work. I especially enjoyed the Cinco de Mayo party with the men in their mustaches. We have small group parties (folks from our church) about every six weeks, and I am always thinking about themes. The Pink Panther is on tap for the summer, but I am not sure anything can top those handsome men in your pictures!!

I need to get this one.<br /> I've read several books lately that were really good until the last 2 chapters, and then it was like "let's hurry up and get through!" Very disappointing.<br /> The soup looks soooo good. We went from it being 90 here yesterday to the 60's this morning.

That sounds like a very moving book, and you did such a great job reviewing and portraying it. <br /><br />I just bought a book about Churchill and the Jews. I remember reading once that he was the lone voice crying in the wilderness when many other leaders wanted to bury their heads in the sand due to the fact that they couldn't even bear to think of another world war and Germany attempting something like that. Hence, when I saw this book, I bought it. Haven't started it yet, but I will let you know about it. <br /><br />I did a lot of research on the camps in college under one of my professors whose expertise was in the field of social psychology. It changed my life studying about them and also reading other books about Corrie Ten Boom and Anne Frank. Your book sounds very moving, too.<br /><br />On a brighter note, sending you hugs for a Happy Mother's Day...<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-20613061131935842422010-05-08T00:55:27.554-04:002010-05-08T00:55:27.554-04:00Rett, you did a remarkable job with this review. ...Rett, you did a remarkable job with this review. This book is one I want to read, but just haven't gotten a copy yet. I know it will be full of emotion for me, but we all need to read this type of book at times to keep us grounded with the reality of the world. <br />Your photo of the bike is like a painting. I got chills when I saw the photo and then the black and white version. You are very talented. It's like painting a picture.
