I am currently reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. http://www.randomhouse.com/rhpg/guernsey//book/ This story is about an author who receives a letter from a stranger who founded the above "....Society". The letters back and forth showcase life on the island of Guernsey during the German occupation of WWII. I had never heard of Guernsey before, but now am putting this destination on my "bucket list" of places to visit. If you like a good read, check it out. … (5 comments)
sumner: It's a small world after all.
- 05/07/11 04:08 PM
This was supposed to be a Mother's Day post, but I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow. Today while attending a Mother's Day tea with my 2 daughters and mom, I met a neighbor. I met the neighbor in a neighborhood 1 1/2 hours away. Brenda Keith, who actually lives minutes from me in Lake Tapps, was the speaker for the Tea held at North Mason Bible church in Belfair, WA. Brenda spoke beautifully about being adopted into the family of God.
After the event, I went up with my daughter to meet her and her daughter. While … (3 comments)

Lake Tapps is small town living within minutes of big city life.When I was a girl growing up in Seattle, Lake Tapps was a vacation destination with cabins on 2+ acre lots. Now Lake Tapps is a suburb of the Greater Seattle/Tacoma area with homes on 1/2 acre or smaller lots surrounding the lake and beyond. Most of the trees around the Lake are gone, but non homeowners can access the Lake through the Pierce county park for a small fee. http://www.piercecountywa.org/pc/services/recreate/LakeTapps.htm A map of Lake Tapps: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Lake+Tapps&state=WA&country=US&latitude=47.184399&longitude=-122.170403&geocode=CITY The lake itself is a reservoir which provides water for … (0 comments)

sumner: Granite vs Quartz countertop battle continued
- 04/27/11 03:07 PM
In my previous blog, I discussed that Quartz was the countertop of choice for me. However, after a few quotes, further research is needed. After 2 quotes, one from Sears and another from C & G Marble and Granite, I am just as confused as ever. C & G's quote was significantly lower than Sears. However, with C & G, which only offered Granite, I would need to hire a plumber to reattach sink and dishwasher. With Sears that was included. Sears came with a nice assortment of both Granite and Quartz, and yes the Quartz was less expensive than the Granite, but still more … (0 comments)
