Wendy @jerzgirl (9384) • United States 12 Mar

The weather is crazy! Yesterday, we had our windows open. It was 80°. My daughter came home from work and took her shoes and socks off because her feet were hot and I went out to dinner without any coat. As I was...

We've moved

Wendy @jerzgirl (9384) • United States 21 Feb

It's been a while since i was here last. I think I may have mentioned that we had no heat in that house because we couldn't afford the oil. The old landlord sold and the new one planned to raise our rent $700 in increments every 3...

Wendy @jerzgirl (9384) • United States 20 Sep

I just finished reading this (listening, actually, via a reader app). It was really quite good with loads of twists and turns to keep you thinking. It was great to have the culprit be a complete surprise. So many possible along...

Another book review of "Antiques and Alibis"

Wendy @jerzgirl (9384) • United States 18 Sep

This is another book I received as an Advanced Reader's Copy in exchange for a review. Why were townspeople being murdered? What did they have in common? Why did someone view them as threats? I'm not exactly sure why this has...

Blackmail and Kitty Tails cozy mystery

Wendy @jerzgirl (9384) • United States 16 Aug

I had the opportunity to read a new mystery before it appeared in stores. All I had to do was write a review. I'm thankful for the chance to read it. Even though this was the 5th title in Deanna Drake's series, it was the first...

Today is my daughter's 39th birthday!

Wendy @jerzgirl (9384) • United States 6 May

I cannot believe I have a 39 year old daughter and a 44 year old son. Other than the aches and pains that come with growing older, I simply don't feel older. Not nearly old enough to have kids the ages of mine. I gave her a...
