Hello, Friends,

April finds us still
in COVID-19 "quarantine,"
fighting the good fight
to "flatten the curve."

Virtual hugs to you all,
especially to those struggling
with illness and/or loss
of loved ones.

Hopefully, this message
brings you some cheer
with shared prayer, humor,
interesting news, and offers.

Happy Easter
&
Happy Passover
to those celebrating,
though differently this year!!

I am so excited to tell you about my friend
Drema Drudge's newly released book
that I am reading!

Victorine 

available

HERE'S THE BOOK TRAILER
In 1863 Civil War is raging in the United States Victorine Meurent is posing nude, in Paris, for paintings that will be heralded as the beginning of modern art: Manet's Olympia and Picnic on the Grass. However, Victorine's persistent desire is not to be a model but to be a painter herself. In order to live authentically, she finds the strength to flout the expectations of her parents, bourgeois society, and the dominant male artists (whom she knows personally) while never losing her capacity for affection, kindness, and loyalty. Possessing both the incisive mind of a critic and the intuitive and unconventional impulses of an artist, Victorine and her survival instincts are tested in 1870, when the Prussian army lays siege to Paris and rat becomes a culinary delicacy. Drema Drudge's powerful first novel Victorine not only gives this determined and gifted artist back to us but also recreates an era of important transition into the modern world.
In a gallery of episodes, narrated in the gaudy, evocative voice of the protagonist, author Drema Drudge renders Victorine Meurent from flesh to soul. Applying bold strokes of language, Drudge animates the story of a life lived at high intensity sparkling, inventive, imaginative, ambitious a totally original life. You can't help but love them both. --Julie Brickman, author of Two Deserts and What Birds Can Only Whisper

THE CAROUSEL TRAVELER


Mirabelle travels to Paris on an antique shopping trip for her critically ill mother. She finds a message inside a rare souvenir coin purse from
The Exposition Universelle of 1900 in Paris. It mysteriously transports her back to that place and time. She meets and falls in love with a handsome Paris private investigator. Together they search for how Mirabelle can return
to care for her sick mother—even though that will mean she must bid goodbye to the man she loves.

It took just two days for 1,000 people from 18 different countries around the world to submit a video of their performance of ‘Close To You’ by Burt Bacharach – and the result is just beautiful.
FOX Sports announcer Joe Buck asked fans to submit videos for him to announce play-by-play over and they responded in a big way. Check out Buck's most memorable calls from his first week of Quarantine Calls. On twitter @Buck
