A new blog... not mine.....

And now Hannah has a blog. She has ventured into the realm of cyberspace one step more. Please feel free to click on the new link and say "hi" to her and her new blog. We are so proud of them. As Fred or George Weasley put it we "might seriously consider admitting that we are related", or something like that.

Monstrosities

I know two posts in a day is a bit much. But I have pictures of what they are putting in the stairs.

One: The first half in the stairs:
The support is the large, ugly, metal thing that has rust on it. Running horizontally to the bottom of the picture.

Two: The second half in the stairs:

It is the slightly smaller, ugly, metal thing that has rust on it. This piece too is running horizontally to the bottom of the picture.

Three:

What appears to be the next, slightly smaller monstrosity. Not yet inserted into the stairs.

Four:

A nice close up of Fairmont Park's wonderful welding job

Wuthering Heights...

Did you know that the word "Wuthering" is not in Word's Dictionary. It means "wind-blown" or "windy", but Word doesn't have it.
Oh, well, I didn't log in to tell you of the faults of Microsoft (although there are many).
Have any of you read Wuthering Heights? I would highly recommend it if you have. I have finished it, but unlike Jane Eyre, which I also haven't finished, I and connected to the Characters in Heights.
I don't know. Perhaps it was just my general disinclination towards main characters , but I didn't like the character of Jane at all. Like, I want her to marry Rochester so that Rochester will be happy. But I do like Heathcliff, although I don't think I would be very keen to meet him.
Perhaps the difference for me is how i started reading them. I have to read Wuthering Heights for Writing Class but I only started Jane Eyre because I had read Thursday Next: The Eyre Affair which piqued my interest because I wanted to know if what happened in the Thursday Next book, really happened in Jane Eyre.
Whatever caused the difference I an determined to finish both of them, for I really want to know how Rochester's first wife dies(Eyre) and what happened to Catherine(Heights) that made Heathcliff go sort of all mad and vindictive.

Grandmama...

My dear Grandma is back from a month-long stint in Florida with my Uncle Bob. She is really tired and glad to be back.

A thought...

IT'S SNOWING!

So sorry, that was not the thought. and it is really more a delima than a thought. I have thought of a phrase that I want to use but I already have two blogs (one that I don't use much) and I don't know what I would do with another email address.... If I come of with something I will be sure to post it.

OH, a thought!

Do you like the name of the other blog or should I change it?

A book...

I have just read for the second time what I think is the only book to have made me cry. I remember crying last time i read it as well. What is funny is that I end up crying over a character who we only met at the beginning and isn't really that important.
If you should care to read the said book it is called Gregor and the Marks of Secret. However, I would suggest that you read the three books that come before it first. Gregor the Overlander, Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane, and Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods. They are all very good and I am eagerly awaiting the fifth and last book (coming on May?) Gregor and the Code of Claw.

Yaaaaaa!

Quite by accident I managed to talk myself out of reading The Master and Margareta and into Wuthering Heights. Miss Fletcher asked me to pick a section from a book of essays and such and I picked the first chapter of Wuthering Heights and she was like "would you prefer to read that rather than the Master and Margareta?" So now it is much more better (as Jack would say) because I have a copy of Wuthering Heights.
