Thursday's Things In A Row...Denny's

Hi all! Today I am joining Pat in Thursday's Things In A Row. This is so much fun and what fun I had getting this shot!

Gman and I were having lunch at Denny's. We noticed that there was a long table set up for a large group and it turned out to be a group of ladies from Lakeview (that's what they told us!). They were so cute and such good company! What a fun group!

So, as we were leaving, I just asked if I could take their picture and put it on my blog. "What?", they asked...

"The World Wide Web", I told them.

Oh sure! So, here they are waving at you! Aren't they a fun bunch????

On the way out Gman said, "Thursday's Things In A Row?"

Yep...He knows me too well. LOL

;-D Happy Thursday all!

I like your Denny's Ladies, Labbie. They gave you a good reception. Isn't it weird that still so many don't know what a blog is?

Our Early Ford V8 Club met at Denny's for our January meeting. We had two shorter tables in the back room. I had a really neat breakfast for $4.00. It had two eggs, two medium sized pancakes, and a sausage and because of the waiter's mistake, two slices of bacon. I drank water so four bucks plus tax was the tab.

What a fun bunch of gals your Denny's Ladies look like!

A real blogger always has her camera...I often fail at this. I don't know how many time I've said, "oops, I left the camera at home!"

God bless ya and have a joyous day!!! :o)

That was so nice of them to let you get a photo, they look like a fun group. Their get together and Denny's gave you lots of Things in a Row. It is amazing how many folks still don't know about blogs.

That's too funny! I bet they were all shaking their heads after you left wondering what a blog was. Ha! I get asked by my MIL and mother about stuff like that. They don't understand it. I would definitely say that picture captures "things in a row" very well. You were brave to ask those women for a picture. I would've been too shy.

The Mockingjay

It is with great sadness that I say goodbye to the characters of this Trilogy.

This 3rd and last book in The Hunger Games Trilogy was not remotely what I thought it would be. While the first two books were books about horrific competition and massive loss it was also about the indomitable will to live and thrive of the human spirit.

I thought that this book would be much as the other two. Our heros are tested and then survive to live happily ever after.

But, this book is much deeper and probably much more realistic than that. The thin skinned President Snowden in his extreme anger makes it clear that Katniss, her family and even her village are not going to be allowed to live in the peace that we anticipated after the first two books. To the end that President Snowden wants to see Katniss and everyone who follows her and her courage destroyed, we are drawn deeply into a story of battle both internal and external, love and loss and the dramatic results of a long lived, hard fought war while unsure of who is friend and who is foe.

The end of this book was a loss in many respects. The loss of a group of people to whom I was drawn and the loss of a way of life for those characters. While the war was won, the battles took their toll on all of the characters that we have come to know and love and their lives are forever changed by the end of this book and trilogy.

Catching Fire

This 2nd book in The Hunger Games Trilogy was even better than number one!

I read it in about a day and a half.

I simply could NOT put it down!

The main thrust of this book is the Quell games. Every 25 years the districts must take part in not one but two games to celebrate the domination of the Capitol.

If I go further than that with explanation, I will probably ruin #1 for you, so let's just say that the Mockingjay has a part in this and that the families of Peeta and Katniss as well as Gale are well represented.

The ending leaves us hungry for more at the edge of an abiss...

Now, on to book 3.

PS--Don't start this series without purchasing all three books because you will surely kick yourself if you can't go right to the next book!

The Hunger Games

Book 1 of the Trilogy:
GREAT READ! This was recommended to me by my hair stylist while I was in Missouri. I purchased it for my Kindle, but subsequently passed it up for other reads. My mistake! What an engaging book! Following Katniss and Peeta as well as the other characters in a richly written narrative of the Hunger Games which are a fight to the death each year of children chosen from each of the 12 poor downtrodden districts of the country of Penam for the enjoyment of the spoiled, protected class of people in the "Capital". Gripping and twisting right to the end! I liked it so much that the second I finished I felt like I couldn't let go of the characters and zipped right on to the second volume of the trilogy! RECOMMEND HIGHLY!

Pumpkin Roll

Pumpkin Roll by Josi S. Kilpack~~This book was recommended by another blogger who made it sound so good that I I just had to check t out. I purchased my copy for Kindle and really enjoyed it! The author writes a very fine mystery without using vulgarity or objectionable content which is refreshing. This book was a fun one for the autumn season when our thoughts turn to pumpkins, spices and a nip in the air.

The neighbor is rumored to be a witch and with several other colorful characters of dubious nature, we have a fun Halloween culinary novel.

The nice twist at the end of the story gives an interesting wrap-up to make this book a good light read.

In addition, the recipes sounded so good that I had to copy some of them down and try them--including the Pumpkin Roll of the book title. A good read and good recipes! What's better than that?
