Congratulations, Carol!

You are our new Pecan Winner!
(That's Carol without Blog!)
Yippee!

Normally, I ask my husband for a number between 1-53, which he hollars with great exuberance; alas, he is at work and I am alone to do the deed. I'm watching cable and decided it would be fair to use the channel as my number. I'm watching WKNO's What's Killing Stellar Sea Lions on channel 10 and am very sad. So, through bittersweet tears I congratulate Carol! :D

We watched that, too. Excellent show, but very, very sad!

Debi, it is amazing that the little herring has so much use! What did we lose by fishing out the cod? :(

I looked up the Civil Rights Act, and it was the 2nd of July. What a coincidence! Of course, I'll just pretend it was intentional....

oh, and I forgot to add that touchiness over mixed-race relationships isn't just a southern thing...

my mom (white) is from upstate NY and before she married my dad (white), she was engaged to a different guy (black). When my mom called my grandma to tell her she was engaged (again, lol), my grandma didn't even ask if he was Catholic...just if he was white!

thinking about the book now, I can see how quite a few of the themes or issues would offend/bother some people; but then, shouldn't we read books that bother us sometimes?

Thank you so much, Maggie! I'm sorry about the Stellar Sea Lions. That is sad but I'm happy to have won!

Thanks, Deana and txmommy!
