Safe Haven by Hannah Alexander

A few days ago I finished reading Safe Haven by Hannah Alexander. It is the second in the Hideaway Series. I have been trying to make a dent in the books I haven't read that I have on my shelf. This was a book my parents gave me four years ago and I just now got around to reading it. It was really good and I liked that it was hard to figure out the mystery until the end. So you were wondering along with the characters and discovering things out along with them.

Book Details: A teenage fugitive - youthful master of disguise Fawn Morrison comes to charming Hideaway, Missouri, seeking refuge. Now that her dangerous game has turned deadly, she must entrust her safety to strangers.

A doubting doctor - Karah Lee Fletcher relishes the challenges offered by Hideaway's new clinic, until an unsettling discovery shakes her confidence. Despite her self-doubt, Karah Lee reaches out to Fawn, jeopardizing her own life. . .and finds unexpected grace.

A lonely ranger - their first meeting leaves Ranger Taylor Jackson vowing to avoid strong-willed Karah Lee. Yet observing her interact with patients, especially the vulnerable Fawn, Taylor begins to feel admiration. Could it lead to something deeper?

Hannah Alexander is the pen name of husband-wife writing team Dr. Mel and Cheryl Hodde, who make their home in a homey Ozarks setting like those featured in their novels, which include the Hideaway series.

My Cousin had a Baby Boy!

I found out today that my aunts step-daughter who I do think of as a cousin even if we aren't really related. I found out her and her husband had a baby boy. They named him Trystan Dwayne. He was 8 lbs 4 oz. Trystan is a variant of Tristan.

I am so happy for them. Congratulations!

Basset Hound Dogs being neglected in my Neighborhood

Last night we saw two Basset Hounds in our neighborhood eating out of peoples garbage. The male was of a good weight but the female she was skin and bones. Her skin was hanging and you could see and feel her ribs and bones. She is also a mother with a litter of small pups. It was so sad to see. She was such sweet dog. We thought she was abandoned but we followed her and she kept taking us to the same house. Then she started whining at the front door and then wagging her tail trying to tell us it was her house. Her pups were in the garage crying. The owners were gone and the dogs were eating out of there garbage too. We found out the people were in a neighboring state and wouldn't be back till the next day.

They had the dogs put in the back yard by the neighbor and the pups were left in the garage with no mother dog or food or water. They said the pups were weened but I think they were lying.

The female dog like I said was in a bad shape. If people can't take care of there dogs they need to find a good home for them. These people had like 5-7 dogs plus 7 pups. It's despicable they let that dog be so malnourished like that. I didn't see any other dogs except the male and female basset hounds but I only hope they don't treat there other dogs like that female dog. My mom contacted animal control and they will be out here tomorrow.

It sickens me when people do this stuff to there animals. It just broke my heart every time she whined and howled outside the garage trying to get to her pups. And it also broke my heart when I saw her looking for food. Fortunately two neighbors gave them food and then my mom and another woman up the street from us fed her too.

Come this morning a woman of our neighborhoods Home Owners Association that helped us last night went down to the house to check on the dogs. They were out of the yard again getting into garbage. But the owners sent someone to get the dogs and then came home to take care of the other dogs and pups. I think they did that because they knew animal control would be around. I hope they don't neglect there dogs after animal control comes and goes.

People Treat your Animals Better! Please!

This is where I want to be!!!

Wishing I was anywhere but here!!!!!

I wish I was any where but this town and this house. I want so badly to be anywhere else. I am just so tired of living in my parents house. I am tired of not having a job or income. I just want to be somewhere else.


I want to be on a far away beach. I want to be there and unreachable by phone or email. I want to be away from annoying people and I want just some peace and quite.

Paths of Glory by Jeffrey Archer

I finished reading last night Paths of Glory by Jeffrey Archer. The last few pages had me crying so hard I could barely read the words on the page. To anyone who knows me they know I do not cry often and especially when reading. But there have been a few books that have effected me so much that I cried while reading them. I recommend this novel.

Book Details:

Some people have dreams that are so outrageous that if they were to achieve them, their place in history would be guaranteed. Christopher Columbus, Isaac Newton, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Edison, Nancy Astor, Charles Lindbergh, Amy Johnson, Edmund Hilary and Neil Armstrong are among such individuals. But what if one man had such a dream, and when he'd achieved it, there was no proof that he had fulfilled his ambition? "Paths of Glory", is the story of such a man. But not until you've turned the last page of this extraordinary novel, will you be able to decide if George Mallory should be added to this list of legends, because if he were, another name would have to be removed.
