Thanks for sharing these Melissa- The Eclipse is one of those things that reminded me of the times I was younger and my folks told me NOT to stare at the sun (and I did it anyway). But the beauty of seeing something that lights everything up completely covered (and yet there's still plenty of sunlight for the world not to be dark) was amazing. Hope everything is well in Pittsburgh? :)

As usual, I really enjoyed this. I did love the bit about College Boy and. College Girl graduating soon. It really does seem like it was last week that they came home from the NICU. I never heard of Eileen O’Shaughnessy before. She must have been a saint. What an amazing woman. The other book reviews were equally interesting. I learned a lot from your writing ❤️

The book on Eileen O'Shaughnessy sounds great. I almost missed the eclipse but we got out for a few minutes to check it out. Happy Birthday!

Thank yo so much for this! Flying Bra LOVES THIS. We women must now be center stage - our stories count so much right now. The HIGH PRIESTESS, that divine Feminine so desperately needed for balance! I am going tp check out that WIFEDOM!

You are such an erudite reader....I, on the other hand, am a plebeian. In my dotage, I will admit to reading for nothing but pleasure - light reading. Although I did read a Ron Rash's "The Caretaker" last week and think he is one of our finest living authors.

I count on you to read and report on the hard stuff!

Minnesota's expected to have clouds tomorrow too, so I am not expecting to be able to see much of the eclipse. Thanks for writing about The Dictionary People -- it sounds great!
