Looking For A Good Book?


Ray's Aunt recently wrote a novel, "The Briton & The Dane" and it can be purchased through Amazon.com or through Barnes & Nobels : here's the excerpt: After the last of Rome's legions left Britannia to the mercy of the invading barbarian hordes and before the age of chivalry, when knighthood was in flower and troubadours sang of courtly love, there lived a King whose love for his people and the land left a legacy coveted by his descendants who sought to wear his crown. Travel back in time to the late Ninth Century, to the tumultuous days in the reign of Alfred the Great who successfully defeated the Danish Viking King Guthrum and kept his precious Wessex free from Viking rule. Journey to the Burh of Wareham where Lord Richard oversees the training of Alfred's army; where his children, Stephen, David and Gwyneth, swear fealty to their King and support his vision to build a nation to rival the glory that once was Rome in a land ravaged by war and conquest.

May You Rest In Peace...We'll Miss You Gram...
Most of the pictures are from her 102 birthday party in November, except for the one in the middle-that was sent to us by our cousin (Jessica Rak) and I thought she looked so happy in it.
