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. But can she find the missing man? Or will she, too, become another casualty of this alien world, beautiful but deadly?

    Sheltering in Place – Day 12

          Today I’m having a Singalong with “Night and Day” the song from The Gay Divorcee, a timeless classic with singing, dancing, and fun. Created waaaay back in 1934, it starred Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Just skip through those pesky ads. This is so worth it. Of course, I have written some…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 11

    I don’t mean to sound ditsy, but is this Thursday or Friday? And we’re still in March, right? I’m a little lost on things. It seems almost like nothing’s moving or working. Sort of like The Day The Earth Stood Still. Remember that movie?  The 1951 scifi classic starring two very classy actors, Michael Rennie and Patricia…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 10

    Having been sent to my room by the world’s goings-on, I find myself trying to control more and more of my little, teeny-weeny life and everything in it. I make sure Norman is wearing his mask and gloves before he goes out. And that he carries his hand sanitizer. And that he peels his gloves…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 9 or is it 90?

    Got up early and went back to my favorite neighborhood grocery store. Armed with mask, sanitizer, and gloves, I went in. Got a few groceries, found out they have no paper products unless you count diapers. I have no need to get creative with paper diapers yet, so I moved on. Besides, I am loaded…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 8

    Word to the wise: If you are sending away for any kind of medication, you might want to check to see if it’s still business as usual. I just ordered Ellie’s meds from a Canadian pharmacy, something I normally do every other month. It was a long wait on the phone because like the rest…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 7

    Which reminds me of a movie, Down Among the Sheltering Palms, a 1953 musical comedy, with one of the stars being a distant relative of mine, Gloria De Haven. That also reminds me of a song, “Down Among the Sheltering Palms.” If you’re in the mood for even more nostalgia, try the Boswell Sisters singing…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 6

    We went out early between 8 and 9 this morning to the supermarket. Senior shopping time. They had almost all supplies, including rubber gloves and TP (I don’t need any, see Blog – Day 1), with the exception of hand sanitizer. They no longer let you bring your own bags but they bag up your…

    Sheltering in Place – Day 5

    Today is a better day and the sun is shining! Hubby and his doc worked out the dosage of Norm’s meds and not to jump the gun, but it looks like this might do the trick. Eventually, when the CV19 dies down a little, he will probably go in for some tests. But for now,…
