When cousin JJ’s husband goes missing on an archaeological dig in the middle of ancient Mayan ruins, the Alvarez Family springs into action and heads for Guatemala’s El Mirador Basin. Even though ace detective Lee Alvarez tries not to go anywhere she can’t plug in her hot rollers, she can’t help but follow the clues in a foreign land filled with earthquakes, wild animals, deadly gods, stolen artifacts, villains, and yuk! snakes.

    Sheltering in Place – Day 28

    Not to sound too spoiled, but today I popped off the remnants of the acrylic fake nails covering my own. I’ve never done anything like that before. I’ve had the luxury of having my nails done for about the last five years.  Once during that time, I watched my manicurist pop a set of bad…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 27

    I’ve been running out of things to think about, talk about, write about. True, I have been reading a lot and watching tons of television. Old Television. Remember Hart to Hart? Predates the Hallmark Channel. The only reason the series stands the test of time is that Stefanie Powers had great clothes and Robert Wagner…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 26

    We’re all cooking more than usual these days, if we’re fortunate enough to have a place to live and food. I say with great pride I am Italian-American. Actually, genetically I’m only half Italian-American, but I was brought up in that household, surrounded by all my Italian-American family, so I think of myself as 100%…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 25

    Yesterday was one of those above and beyond stressful days. It’s not just the Covid19 thing I have to worry about. It’s trying to keep a man who is recovering nicely from his angioplasty and is now full of energy and boredom. He doesn’t know where to put any of it except in his stomach.…

    Everything I am, I owe to my cat. Now some people might call this a harsh assessment of me, the human being. But I feel that Ellie has shown me areas of my personality that could use some work. First, humility. I can say with no small amount of pride that when I am with…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 23

    I can’t get the hang of this ordering online thing. I either accidentally order in huge quantities (remember the TP) or order the same thing repeatedly. I now have three shipments of face masks coming from three different companies at three separate times. I have no idea how I did that. Of course, these delivery…

    This will be brief since I have been going since 5:30 this morning. Today hubby went in for an angioplasty, a procedure to make the heart function better. A miracle, for sure. It uses a balloon to widen an artery and not the kind you get at a party.  For those squeamish, you might want…
