Just finished a lovely book, Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns. Just read the cover when I finished and discovered that the author born in 1924 was diagnosed with an illness in 1976 and decided to write a novel. Her first was Cold Sassy Tree and the sequel, Leaving Cold Sassy, I have ordered from the library. Fascinating that she would decided at her age that it was time to write novels instead of articles. Based on the this book, it is a shame that she did not write more. However, it appears that she wrote but articles not books for the Atlanta Journal Sunday Magazine.
Found out about this book from a magazine that I subscribe to the Victorian. Interesting where you will find out about books.

Che ce'di nuovo: from our Italian classes-what's new. I hope to write about what's new in my life and also what I find of interest that is new. Will be interesting to explore the everyday and look at it with new eyes.

About Me
- Bassoon Woman
- Despite the fact that I have been playing the bassoon since I was 13 years old, there are people who will be surprised by the name Bassoon Woman. Some of these people would be my tennis partners who only know me as an eager opponent on the tennis court. I am living proof that you can get better as you as age. At least, I think that I am playing better (they accepted me on one of the club teams last year.) Members of the garden club where I attend sessions designing florelle centre pieces, are always surprised to see me at performances. My next performance is at Colborne Lodge in High Park, we are playing a return engagement celebrating spring on March 20. Hopefully, it will be springlike. These are just a few of the activities that occupy my time. After 30 years of teaching fulltime, I now work part-time teaching music in a high school. Wonderful experience. I am looking forward to exploring the many experiences fill my days. noramr2@gmail.com
