The Women
Here is a novel written by Kristin Hannah entitled 'The Women'. It is a novel of the women who were nurses serving during the Vietnam War. The main character, who goes by the name of Frankie is the focus of the story and how she comes to grips about herself from someone who wants to make her family proud to a person who just wants to be accepted for what she has accomplished. Frankie is a new nurse who decides she wants to serve her country in Vietnam as a way to be close to a brother who was killed over there. She goes even though her parents are against it, and she should just get married and have children as this was the time that women could really only be nurses, teachers or secretaries other than mothers.

Things to keep in mind when using up last year's sunscreen
With the blazing sun of summer, even those who use the least amount of cosmetics have to think about sunscreen. Perhaps by now you know that you don't need to use sunscreen only when it's sunny, but many people are still lazy, so there are bottles/tubes of sunscreen that have expired. It's a pity to throw it away, but can you still use it?

Kicking is a vital aspect of football that often doesn't receive the attention it deserves. While quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers might steal the spotlight, kickers play a crucial role in determining the outcome of games.

Recovery
Recovery what does it mean? There are many ways to define recovery and I am going to describe it in my own words. Recovery is when a person is recuperating from an activity usually after an activity of some kind. A runner can recover (rest) after a race, a patient recovers after surgery, a groundskeeper recovers after completing various outdoor jobs, etc. How one recovers depend on what one has done.

Blizzard
After reading another creators poem on snow it kind of made me homesick for a good down-home blizzard from the North. Even though it is hot and humid in the Deep South where I live now, I really miss the cold and snow from the North for it is September and it supposed to start getting chilly now but not here in Louisiana, and I actually think it's getting more humid. Snow has it hazards, and you know what I mean, but it so pretty and I always like watching it fall covering everything. For the last few weeks or say a month all I want is cool weather for I will accept highs in the 50's now for that would be better than 90's and 100's.

More books
How many books can one really read? I am a person that would rather read a book than do anything else. Reading books for me is a way to learn new ideas and things to do other than just a way to relax with a cup of tea or coffee, but maybe can of beer. Books are my friend, and I am finding out how many books that one can really read and being a book reviewer helps a lot.

Electric typewriter
The image is one of an old electric typewriter that has probably typed quite a bit of work by various writers of all kinds. This is an image of an electric typewriter that I also had at one time. I remember the buzz sound it made when you turned it on the element scanned across the platen as you waited to start typing whatever you had planned, whether it be a story, poem, or term paper. It still had the clickity clack sound of an old manual, but one did not have to punch the keys so hard as one had to do on a manual.

The Butler
It has been a while since I read a Danielle Steel novel and this one entitled 'The Butler' is quite the fun page-turner. It is about two families that are very similar. One is about Joachim and the other Oliva, an Argentinian and an American. Joachim is a mirror twin, who is a butler, who meets Oliva when she needs an assistant for a job that she needs help doing, but there is one thing each of them will need to get over some very sad events that occurred in their pasts. This is a family story that covers the globe, and one will see that friendship can lead to other things.
