For Thursday Trios.

 

Free book! Don’t pass it up!!

My friend Laurie Devine who now lives here in Mexico is a bestselling US novelist who wrote big “Devine Sagas” when she was young and prolific, all about  strong women who lived vivid and remarkable lives in a developing world.  Now she is publishing them digitally for first time!
Saudi,” is about a reckless American woman who marries a Saudi grad student, wears mask and veil, and tests the limits of love by spending her life not just with him but the women of his tribe and Arabia.  And the clincher is that when she marries him, he is already married to his cousin, and she knows it!

It’s a good book, and it’s for free on Friday Aug 9 and Sat. Aug 10 on Amazon. Go HERE to order it.

Please note. The free order runs only Fri and Sat, today and tomorrow beginning this morning.

Two other of her books in this Devine SagaKronos, set in Greece, and Nile, set in Egypt, are also on sale next to Saudi.  Two more, Crescent and Cypress, will be digitized
by this fall.

Forgottenman just asked me to add this photo, which he says is his favorite. This is my mom holding me up in my stroller.  I love it, too, so I will comply with his wishes.

Yesterday most of the bracelet builders were girls. Today most of them were boys. Without exception, the girls created delicate bracelets of (usually pink) seed beeds that I had difficulty even seeing, but they had no difficulty stringing on the wire.  The boys, on the other hand, picked the biggest and chunkiest (and most expensive) beads. Not one, however, balked at putting it on and wearing it. Fun day. My last as I need to get ready to fly to El Norte.

There were a dozen or so tables set up, each with a different art project. At mine, they made bracelets…each one unique, according to the artist’s taste. Here are the results of this morning’s work.
