Eggs Benedict Arnold


This is my first attempt at doing a blog.  I had always said I would not do that - ever.  But here I am.  Uncle Pavian is going to be helping me.  He is a better writer than I and besides I am a computer illiterate.

Uncle Pavian just happens to be my husband.  Do you know what happens when two bibliophiles get together?  We got married and moved into a relatively large house and I moved in with my big collection of books and he did the same thing.  We had a house stuffed full of books and did not want to part with any of them.  So we opened an online used book store and filled our house with the bulging.
walls with other books.  We had a lot of fun but didn't make a red cent

Please feel free to get in touch with me to complain about your life, in other words cry on my shoulder,
or to rejoice about something that happened to you and I'll rejoice with you too.  My pen name is Rachel Jericho or Aunt Jericho.  For now I am going to do a brief re-view of  some books I've read.

I just finished reading a mystery book called "Eggs Benedict Arnold" by Laura Childs.  Since I was about six years old I have read everything I could get my hands on, but practically no fiction.  I decided to read some for fun and started with Agatha Christie - more on that later.

Child's book was fun and even a teen-ager could read it.  There are a few words in it you might not
like but no hells and damns.  In fact any of today's teens would learn no new bad words.  The story is that three fairly young mature ladies who have the three lost their husbands have banded together for support and a business adventure called the Cackleberry Club.  It is a restaurant
and a carry out.   Suzanne delivered a pie to the town funeral home and found the funeral director lying on his embalming table dead.  Led by Suzanne the three ladies have hair raising experiences like finding another dead body swinging from a tree.  Eventually a surprise ending is forth coming.

If  you figure out the murderer  please tell me how you did it.

The book was   copyrighted in 2004.  Most fairly large libraries will have it and it can be purchased
Amazon.com.

Uncle  Pavian and I have four dogs. Vets are necessary but expensive so in order to keep up I went to the public library reference section and looked at "The Merck Manual Veterinarian Manual".  If you are interested in what is wrong with your fluffy kitty or pooch and what to give him/her they have it .  You are on your own ti figure out how to find everything you want in it,  I finally figured the Manual out pretty much for people but I am still working on the animal one.  So you are on your own here
The 10th edition was published in 2010.  You can find it in a number of book stores and, I think, at  Amazon.  Personally unless I was vet I would check at the library because will cost you an arm, a leg and a couple of fists to buy it.
