Love Cracker Jacks & Cotton Candy!

Hi everyone, I tried to post several times in the last few weeks, but blogger didn't work. I just reset my password, & whala, it worked. Did not want to read last book, as it sounded too scary. Didn't want nightmares, as my own city, Fall River, Ma used to have Lincoln Park....rides, rollercoster, etc. while growing up. I didn't get to read the book before that, but would not ever want to be in the position as those 2 girls with the abortion or no abortion issue. Anyway, no one mentioned cotton candy. I actually bought myself a little cotton candy machine years ago & made cotton candy a few times, but stopped as sugar is bad for you. My best memories to going to high school in another state, was leaving school for the day & seeing the truck with the man inside ,that made cotton candy parked outside the school. He always gave me the largest amount of everyone. I don't know why & when kids asked to have some of mine, I always shared. I still wish that I could thank the man as an adult for doing that. Besides being starved, I always appreciated the extra special treatment & the extra special treat. Toby

crackers

No, Bonnie, the crackers look delicious. What kind are they?

Bonnie

Yes, please let's discuss a New Earth Book. :)
Bonnie, my mouth is watering. That shrimp with broccoli ....I can taste it. What a great pic. Also, that fortune cookie ..so appropriate. I get a kick out of reading how someone's boyfriends (here)(Ellen?) gets shocked or surprised by the saying on a fortune cookie. That has happened to me as well. Now for the funny. Whenever you read your fortune saying, end it with "between the sheets". It takes the meaning to a new dimension & a good chuckle.

Chinese Food

Bonnie, my mouth is watering. Lets get both & also shrimp & broccoli. See ya at Book Buddies. Oh, by the way, are you reading, A New Earth?

Hi Bonnie!!

Hi Bonnie!! Big wave. Anyway, last night, Blogger would not let me in when I signed in. Thankfully, it's working today. Too bad nobody else wants to party. That drink sounds great!!! I've been eating gratefruits yesterday & tonight. They are really good this year. Nice & sweet. Lucia tried to talk to me about love. I just rolled my eyes & said "enough already". LOL! Well, actually there was some sage advice thrown in, so I let her ramble on a little longer. How about Chinese food?

Hi Bonnie! I think I'll try both as I love brie & I haven't tried the almond dip. Yum!
I haven't finished the book yet, but I had been wondering if when I was younger, if I had hid my face from my old boyfriend, would he had realized it was me? Wouldn't he had recognized my voice? That is what I would ask Lucia & G. Hmm, now off to lie down on my chaise lounge with a drink beside me on the little table & dream of my old boyfriend. Uhhhh, life is good!

A big wave & hi from me.

Hey Candy, remember me. I'm from Massachusetts, USA. Candy lives in the state near me.

Bonnie, you throw the best parties. My mouth is watering from what you & everyone has brought.

I'm Toby. I'm female. My name confuses some people. :) I joined Bonnie's Book Club when she was at Oprah's site maybe a few years ago or less. Then, I got busy & left. I always loved her parties. It's a time to chit chat & be creative & talk with the characters from the book. Actually, I think they are real now, as I got to know them well from reading the books. It's all in fun. Anything is possible here. Calories don't count here. Just relax & have fun while you are here.

Ice cream bars

Bonnie, you have got to try those Bliss Ice Cream bars. The chocolate is dark chocolate & the tart taste of the pomegranet is slight. LOL!! Where did you find a pic of the ice cream? I get them at BJ's Wholesale Club.

Caboose, (I love that nickname.) I miss you as well. I've been looking for your name to show up in the posts.

I must read that book by Barbara K. sometime. Sounds interesting.

Now, I have to try a mojito sometime. Sounds delicious. I never saw a chocolate covered bottle of wine, either. I first thought that it was chocolate that was made of wine.

I found a handsome man to bring. It's Seth from Cold Comfort Farm. Pete is coming too from The Other Side of the Bridge.. I asked him to teach me how to fish around the island. Anyone else want to try fishing? Pete will have to hook the worms for me. Yick! Bruno & Shmuel want to come as well to go exploring ( from The Boy in the Striped Pajamas). My friends, Hollis, Josie & Beatrice & I will be very busy sketching, drawing & painting everyone & the island. (from Pictures of Hollis Woods) They joined my online art group, so we got to know each other there.

Hi Bonnie, thanks for the invite to the Island. I haven't been there for a long time. I would love to go to a nice warm island right now, as I can't seem to shake my head cold for a month. Maybe the characters can give me some good advice. They are a bunch of characters after all. LOL!! I'll be bringing lemon meringue pie as that is my favorite pie, brownies, chocolate cake, these delicious chocolate covered, pomegranate ice cream bars by Bliss & gelato ice cream from Italy.
