Studying the Civil War
I spent last weekend scouring auction boxes ( one of my favorite things to do) and came across some fabulous Living History books. One of my favorites is "Great Photographers of the Civil War" By: Eva Weber. This book will delight all of your Civil War buffs.
From Edward Curtis' haunting portraits to Ansel Adams' soaring vistas, this informative and visually compelling overview of America's most famous photographers traces the history and evolution of the black and white image and how it shaped our national view. "Great Photographers of The Civil War is both a unique chronicle of a horrific conflict and a vivid, moving testament to the courage and artistic vision of a remarkable group of men.

A new Atkins for a New You
THINK YOU KNOW THE ATKINS DIET?
THINK AGAIN.
THE NEW ATKINS IS...
POWERFUL
Learn how to eat the wholesome foods that will turn your body into an amazing fat-burning machine.
EASY
The updated and simplified program was created with you and your goals in mind.
HEALTHY
Atkins is about eating delicious and healthy food -- a variety of protein, leafy greens and other vegetables, nuts, fruits, and whole grains.
FLEXIBLE
Perfect for busy lifestyles: you can stick with Atkins at work, at home, on vacation, when you're eating out -- wherever you are.
BACKED BY SCIENCE
More than 50 studies support the low-carb science behind Atkins.
But Atkins is more than just a diet. This healthy lifestyle focuses on maintenance from Day 1, ensuring that you'll not only take the weight off -- you'll keep it off for good. Featuring inspiring success stories, all-new recipes, and 24 weeks' worth of meal plans, The New Atkins for a New You offers the proven low-carb plan that has worked for millions, now totally updated and even easier than ever.
Okay, I understand some of you will hate this book just from the title. But coming from a diabetic, I have to say this is a must read. I have been doing Atkins off and on for 8 years. I wish it has been more on,because I now have Type II Diabetes. This last September I started to apply myself ( with monthly cheats) and I have shed 43 pounds. I found out in November that I was Type II and have fully committed myself to this way of eating ( with no cheating). I have to say that I have never felt better. My Candida is clearing up (slowly), my depression is gone and I am almost clear of the bladder infection that has haunted me for two years and I do not need to take insulin. This book is worth paying for!!!

Spring!!
I can feel it in the air. SPRING!!!!!!!
I suffer terribly from SAD this year was probably the worst year I have ever had. I have learned over the years to not make any major decisions during the months of November- February and I am learning to keep my mouth shut during this same time frame. I always feel like I should send out a HUGE I am sorry e-mail to everyone I have come into contact with. That said, Thank the good Lord that spring is on the way. I feel like I am coming out of my cave and ready to take on life again.
In between my trips to the park and tackling the mounds of paper work I have, I found some time to read a book. Ark Angel is the sixth book in the Alex Rider series written by British author Anthony Horowitz. I have had it on the shelf for sometime and thought it looked interesting,so I took it to the park with me this week. The main hero of the story is a 14 year old boy named Alex Rider. Alex works for the M16 ,the British version of the C.I.A. I found in the book a surprising amount of Physics and other science related facts. I never knew why tightrope walkers can do what they do,but after reading the book I now know. The book was very captivating and kept me wanting to read more. This would be a great series of books for boys in the 12- 18 age range. Bad guys do die in the book and there is a lot of action,but I did not find anything offensive in it.
This series may be just what some of you are looking for to get your boys reading.
HAPPY SPRING, MY FRIENDS!!!!! Yes, I am shouting with joy!!!

New Givaway
This time we are going to go another direction .
Somewhere over the passing years and changing culture, women have lost their way. This book is written to lead them back home. Regardless of how you began your marriage or how dark and lonely the path that has brought you to where you are now, I want you to know that it is possible today to have a marriage so good and so fulfilling that it can only be explained as a miracle.
Follow Debi Pearl as she takes the wisdom and experience of her own marriage and confirms it with the wisdom of scripture and learn how to be the "help meet" that God created you to be. You will learn to appreciate God's gift of a husband with a thankful heart that produces joy and wisdom in you and your home. Gain a better understanding of who your husband is and how your response to him can make or break your marriage. See the Bible's perspective of obedience and authority and understand how you are joint heirs to the promises of God.
The miracle of a wonderful marriage is like the miracle of birth, God allows you to be an essential contributor to the miracle. Read, enjoy and be blessed as over 330,000 other women already have.

New books on-line
Good Morning Sweet Friends,
Just a quick note to let you all know that I am putting around 200, I thought it was 100, new books on-line today. I got 50 done yesterday . I am feeling ambitious today and thought I might get the rest finished. That is if Emma can find something to do besides ask me to read all the neat children's books we got in. How can you turn down a cute four year old.
I added a bunch of great homeschooling materials yesterday, and today I am working on children's books and some adult fiction and non-fiction. There will still be a few educational books coming on-line,too.
Keep an eye on the right side of the web-site and you will be the first to see the new additions.
Blessings,
Jeanie
