But it turns out delivering Easter eggs is hard work. And it doesn't leave much time for naps (of which Cat has taken five--no, seven).

Download or read book Move Over Shakespeare Here Comes Granny written by Edith Charbonneau and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of poems is a reflection of my great love for so many things in life, starting with my very dear and cherished biker husband, Frank Charbonneau, with whom I enjoyed thousands of miles of travel on our Harley. We also enjoyed our life in a log house perched high on a mountaintop and raised eight kids there in the summer and in Florida in the winter. With my husband a Naval Commander for twenty-seven years, we were always "on the go," and I found plenty to write about to this day: our "cabin on the hill," my "very dear Dr. Caputo," our Harley rides; even a very noisy blue jay and my brother's death in WWII. When I was a child, rhymes kept running through my head, and I would write them down. When I first met "Doc," I was so impressed by his loving concern. I wrote him a poem, thinking, He probably will never bother to read it; but how surprised I was when he showed me he had it laminated and it was hanging in his office! That encouraged me to write him a new one every time I went to see him, and one day, he suggested we put them all together in a book! This book depicts almost a complete story of my life with many of its joys and tears.
Download or read book Horseman Pass By written by Larry McMurtry and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Lonesome Dove comes the novel that became the basis for the film Hud, starring Paul Newman. In classic Western style Larry McMurtry illustrates the timeless conflict between the modernity and the Old West through the eyes of Texas cattlemen. Horseman, Pass By tells the story of Homer Bannon, an old-time cattleman who epitomizes the frontier values of honesty and decency, and Hud, his unscrupulous stepson. Caught in the middle is the narrator, Homer's young grandson Lonnie, who is as much drawn to his grandfather’s strength of character as he is to Hud's hedonism and materialism. When first published in 1961, Horseman, Pass By caused a sensation in Texas literary circles for its stark, realistic portrayal of the struggles of a changing West in the years following World War II. Never before had a writer managed to encapsulate its environment with such unsentimental realism. Today, memorable characters, powerful themes, and illuminating detail make Horseman, Pass By vintage McMurtry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The edge-of-your-seat finale to the trilogy set in the bluegrass country horseracing world from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Kentucky Heat. The trilogy that has reunited the Coleman and Thornton families continues as horsewoman Nealy Coleman faces her greatest challenge—to produce another Derby winner and show the world that a determined woman never quits . . . Nobody can measure up to Nealy’s standards as a trainer, not even her daughter Emmie, who now runs the family’s Blue Diamond Farms. When Nealy she returns to the stables for a family reunion, she realizes that Emmie has let the farm slide and has picked a small, gutsy colt to send to the Derby—a nice horse, but clearly the wrong one. Suddenly Nealy is back in the game, ready to prove she’s not too old to back a winner—even if means taking on another colt as her own personal project. Now Emmie and Nealy engage in an unstoppable rivalry, one that may irreparably damage their relationship. Each is determined to win—no matter what the dangers, no matter what the cost. In Kentucky Sunrise Fern Michaels captures the adrenaline rush of the sport of kings while sending a family toward a shattering climax, where the difference between winning and losing in all aspects of life lies in the choices of the heart. Praise for the Kentucky Trilogy “Prose so natural that it seems you are witnessing a story rather than reading about it.” —Los Angeles Sunday Times “Fun . . . has more plot twists than a soap opera, and will keep readers on tenterhooks.” —Booklist
