Every month I read my alumni magazine from University of Michigan, and a couple of months ago there were some great articles about life at UM during the 1930s. Someone had written a book about his experiences, so I looked him up, and it turns out that he'd written a number of books.
Step-Up by Edmund G. Love was published in 1980. It is a pretty good detective story about a George Rowe, who was forced to retire from the police department. Of course he's a crack detective who can't let go of the old job. A good little summer read. To show the book, I'll have to take a photo. I'll bet this hasn't been checked out and read in over 20 years!
Today is July 3, 2009. Sometimes I can't even believe that we are in the 2000s. It's a beautiful day, not warm enough for me, but sunny and lovely. We've got fireworks lined up for tonight and tomorrow. Can't wait.
ABOUT ME
- Dianne
- Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
