Big party for hubby

Took a little longer to read my last novel. Kept getting interrupted at work with all the drama going on. Had to let a few people go which is never pleasant.

I enjoyed Philippa Gregory's "Fallen Skies." It was a change from her usual writing. She always took me back to kings and queens from long ago but this time she went back to post world war I and spun a nice little tale of a young woman who was destined to a life on the stage to escape her poor roots in England and was found by a wealthy young lawyer and swept into his tormented life. He had been forever changed by his time in the war and thought that this new young bride could make him forget the nightmares. She was suddenly left motherless and was pushed into marrying him to have somewhere to go. A strange twist at the end brought it to a different kind of conclusion.

It's party day, today! My hubby turns 80 on Monday and today is the big bash. His son is in from Hawaii and will be there to yell surprise. Wish we could get the other one out of his bedroom to join in the festivities. Anyway, I'm sure they all won't be there on time so as they stagger in it will be a surprise for hubby. A few friends will join the mix to make it a fun experience. If not, a few cases of beer and a bunch of bottles of wine will make it better.
