A Happy Thanksgiving

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Today was preparation of the cranberry sauce, cut vegetables and the indispensable apple pie ! It always annoys me to throw out the left over pastry. Sometimes, I make a small tart with it,  but today I decided to do it differently. What do you think? I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and if you have to work I hope you will still have time to be with your love ones. A bientot

Book Review :Wayward( Pines 2 ) by Blake Crouch

Hi, Do you remember Wayward part 1?  So I read part 2....It is was so much better. More actions, details a bout the society and the conundrum is explain. The author creates a 3 dimensional society. The characters are not those card board evil or good people but complex and at some part  chilling individuals. A summary from Goodread: " Welcome to Wayward Pines, population 461. Nestled amidst picture-perfect mountains, the idyllic town is a modern-day Eden...except for the electrified fence and razor wire, snipers scoping everything 24/7, and the relentless surveillance tracking each word and gesture.

What I learned in October

We were free computer for most of October. It was liberating, frustrating and annoying. A good reminder that technology is a tool to be use to simplify our life not to be dependent on. A smile and to be a good listener might be what people need. Sometimes, people come to talk not to have answers but just to be listen to:) A prayer  will go a long way. Don't be afraid to stand for what you believe:) Small steps are better than to stay stuck . Finally, to be embarrassed( courtesy of little ones)  never killed anyone only pride. Happy Saint Day! !
