American Princess by Stephanie Marie Thronton Synopsis - Alice may be the president's daughter, but she's nobody's darling. As bold as her signature color Alice Blue, the gum-chewing, cigarette-smoking, poker-playing First Daughter discovers that the only way for a woman to stand out in Washington is to make waves--oceans of them. With the canny sophistication of the savviest politician on the Hill, Alice uses her celebrity to her advantage, testing the limits of her power and the seductive thrill of political entanglements. But Washington, DC is rife with heartaches and betrayals, and when Alice falls hard for a smooth-talking congressman it will take everything this rebel has to emerge triumphant and claim her place as an American icon. As Alice soldiers through the devastation of two world wars and brazens out a cutting feud with her famous Roosevelt cousins, it's no wonder everyone in the capital refers to her as the Other Washington Monument--and Alice intends to

Last Weekend

Image
Last weekend we in the US celebrated Memorial Day and therefore had a long weekend. Since we experienced no snow this winter and didn't use any of our snow days we got an extra day off. And we were all really looking forward to the break. Initially we had plans to go to Cape Cod but the weather seemed all over the place. We didn't want to drive all the way up there just to be stuck in cold rainy weather so we canceled and had ourselves a little staycation.  Friday morning we all went our own ways for some breakfast. D and I met up with another mom friend and her son while M and H had some father son time.  We reunited at home and did some of our own things In the afternoon we headed out for some strawberry picking! We had gone the year before last and had really enjoyed ourselves but did not get the chance last year. The next few days were spent eating and making treats with the strawberries. Last time we had over picked and I was a bit overwhelmed with all the strawberries..

A Month of Reunions

Image
Where do I even start? This has been a month of reunions. Early in the month I drove a couple hours north and two of my very old friends (we have known each other since our pre teen years) drove a couple hours south.. they live in Canada and we had a mini reunion in Upstate New York.  The friend on the left I hadn't seen in over a decade. We went out for dinner.. talked into the wee hours of the night and shared a breakfast before heading back home and vowed to not wait another ten years before we meet again.  Then M's cousin was flying in from Californian and visiting some friends in New York around the same time my cousin was flying in from London. So we made an evening of it. I brought the boys into the city after school, M is already in the city for work and we met his cousin (who we hadn't met since she was 10) for a late coffee. Afterward we met two of my cousins for dinner. One already lives in the city and we meet occasionally and the other was visiting from London
