Thursday Odds and Ends

Today's post is based on the series of books, "Seasons of Our Lives".  I highly recommend these books.  Great reads.  Especially now that the cooler weather is setting in.  Here is what is written about the books:

'The award-winning stories in the four volumes of Seasons of Our Lives will charm, intrigue, captivate, and inspire you because they speak of our lives almost as much as they do the authors'. The details of childhood, coming of age, adulthood, and aging—of passion, friendship, love, sacrifice, betrayal, disappointment, survival, and unexpected joy—of lives intersecting with history—of ordinary yet extraordinary experiences are unique to these award-winning authors and yet at their core these stories tell of all our lives.'
