Review

I may not have been back up to Canada in quite some time, but I remember some of the stories that were passed around amongst family members.  Do I personally believe in ghosts?  OH HELL YEAH I DO!  My grandmother’s farmhouse (in Caistor Centre, Ontario) was over 100 years old when I used to go up and stay there.  And the last time I was there was in 1984.  I remember everyone being downstairs and you could hear foot steps upstairs.  You could also hear the old bedsprings up there as well.  There wasn’t anyone else in the house that could have been up there.  So I definitely believe.

I know I was extremely excited when I got this book.  There were quite a few places that I remembered going to when I was younger.  I even verified with my cousins who still live up there.  It was so interesting to swap stories with all of them again.  Plus, next time I visit my family up there, we already have a few places mapped out that we are all going to go.

There are plenty of pictures as well as histories of each location.  And the author even includes some personal anecdotes of what happened while doing research for this book.  At the end of the book is a listing of addresses, phone numbers, and websites for each of the places to make it easier for you to plan your visits.

Disclaimer: I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive any form of compensation.

Long Time No Post

Well, I finally got rid of my old website. I just couldn't handle all the spam comments I got on a daily basis. I might have some of my posts saved to my computer. If so, then I will put them into this blog. In the meantime, I am going to try to become active in blogging again. I can't promise anything. I had gotten so discouraged by the spam, that I had completely given up.

Review–An Apple A Day

Image
  Image via Wikipedia Book Description   From Old Testament proverbs to modern phrases like "the best things in life are free," An Apple a Day takes a fun look at expressions that "have stood the test of time." Read through from start to finish or search through the list of hundreds of the most common proverbs, arranged from A to Z for easy reference. You'll learn about each proverb's surprising origins, why some are valid and others are not, the derivation and meanings behind them, and their relevance in today's society. Includes entries like: Two heads are better than one: Like the less-familiar "Four eyes see better than two," this proverb extols the benefits of having someone else help you make up your mind-and it's a view that goes back to at least the fourteenth century. But while it is always useful to have a second opinion (A sounding board? Someone else to blame?) it might also be worth bearing in
