Your place is valuable for me. Thanks!
Hi,
I must tell you, again, how very much I love your site. This month is esp. interesting, as they all are. But I get so engrossed in reading, I have to bring my mug of iced tea and a cookie and make myself to home at the computer desk. It’s hard to have to stop reading, for some necessary chores. But I do get back to the site right quick. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your wonderful history items. I’ve always been an early American History minded girl. Cant get enough. Looking forward to next read.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Love and prayers, Julie
I’ve been reading western novels by author Dusty Richards. I’ve really enjoyed his stories, the description of the landscape, and the characters in his books have been good reading ,but his novels seems hard to find in our local stores. Well, I guess that’s just apart of the anticipation of the next story of an author a person enjoy reading.
