If you ever wind up cruising the San Juan Islands, be sure to let me know if you need a cook! :)<br /><br />Thanks for your nice words about my reviews.

I could really enjoy a couple weeks in the San Juan Islands in that boat, but I would want the cook to come along...<br /><br />I'm always saying that I want to live in Oregon. I don't want to live right on the ocean but very, very close! No convincing my husband but we'd need to figure a way to get the grandkids to come along. Right now they live in the house right behind ours so we are pretty tied to our location.<br /><br />Reading your reviews always brings a smile and, usually, a need to get my hands on a new book.Bookloggedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00651016653247142255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-15791697434974854852011-10-13T14:42:09.331-07:002011-10-13T14:42:09.331-07:00Iliana - Hi!!

It is non fiction but is a fascinating story about them going on a boat with their family and they met with tragedy but somehow, by comparing it to a shipwreck from an earlier century, the husband comes to terms with it and the wife's version of it is very typical of a wife and mother. To be honest, I liked John's part of the book better...would love it if you could just read a review on Amazon and let me know what you think.Kay Guesthttp://www.georgiagirlwithanenglishheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-53618906708790799032011-10-11T17:18:12.313-07:002011-10-11T17:18:12.313-07:00I love your review and how your experiences affect...I love your review and how your experiences affected your reading.

I'm looking forward to trying The Loop.<br /><br />Kathy - It's one I'll go back and read later on, that's for certain. I hope I win the lottery, too. Guess I should buy a ticket every once in a while, though. ;)<br /><br />Annie Joy - Oh, the lifestyle is heavenly...that is, as long as the boat doesn't take on water! Glad you enjoyed the review and photos. It was a lovely vacation and I was happy to go back through the hundreds and hundreds of photos to find this handful.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-14574563256385598122011-10-10T19:36:59.810-07:002011-10-10T19:36:59.810-07:00Sounds like a wonderful book and lifestyle!
