Revolutionary War Books

I did it, I finished the 776 page book, The British are Coming by Rick Atkinson. It is like the never ending book 564 pages and for me it will be the end as I am going to skip reading the notes 135 pages and sources 42 pages. The print in these two sections is way too small for my eyes. Then there is the index 22 pages. The best part of the book are the maps 24 pages. If these numbers don't add up to the total pages it's okay. I also recently read books by Nathaniel Philbrick and David Hackett Fischer about the Revolutionary War. Do you have any favorite books about this war?

An Angel Came to Visit 2020

An angel came to visit me yesterday

and stayed to clean our house.

She swept, vacuumed and mopped the floors,

cleaned the bathrooms, removed the trash.

It was lovely getting to know her and refreshing

to watch as she went about her work.

Our house now is amazing to view

as we stay at home and guard from Covid19.

I will look forward to her coming again.

There have been others, our daughters, and a lovely lady with

her young one from church  who came as they could.

They are each truly appreciated and bring peace to my heart.

Our kitchen is a busy place often filled with guests.

The stove and oven shine and look brand new.

I will think of her as we prepare our meals.

Even the patio looks lovely as we entertain outside.

Angels come in all types, but the ones who serve others

are certainly heaven sent to encourage us in our struggles.

Now I work more peacefully and feel such joy as I look around

and see our home clean and sparkling for all to enjoy.
