Umpteenth, a popular World War I army slang, wasn't recorded until 1907, almost 100 years too late.

Dyan Diamond shared a post on gratitude. I've noticed a difference in my attitude as I share a list of things I'm grateful for, every evening, on social media.

Today's word sassy doesn't appear until 1833, in America. Somewhere in my travels through life I picked up "sassy baggage." I use it, quite often. Alas, I can't use it in my Regency books.

Proverbs 24:13-14

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou has found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.

Not a travel blog but a recipe blog, Commememucho, in Spanish, was recently in England and shared their stop in the "Crown Inn." G-mail did a fair job of translating when the notification showed up.

Any book by James Herriot, which is not his real name. When I returned from Scotland the bus tour guide announced we were traveling through James Herriot country as we drove south through York.

Favorite Book Friday

Virtues and Valor series by Hallee Bridgeman, Christian romance writer, contains eight episodes, the same World War II event from eight different points of view and includes the history of the heroine or hero or event inspiring the episode. Hallee is on my must read list. I laughed and I cried and I had a tough time putting down my Kindle until I'd read every episode.
