Hi Charlotte,
Hertford, NC is in the Northeastern corner of the state here. We're an hour away from the ocean and an hour away from the Va border. I've lived here for almost 11 years now, but my parents had moved here about 11 years before me. My kids were used to visiting their Nana and Papaw out here, and now my grandkids are used to visiting Grammy, Grandpa-pa, Nana and Papaw.
I'm actually in Va as I type this even. My middle daughter recently moved to a house out here in Chesapeake, so I'm giving her a hand with her 2 year old son Ryan, and giving her regular babysitter a break. Both my girls make sure to keep internet and computer ready for my visits. :-)
Phew. Okay, South Africa is not so much exotic as confused. A beautiful but fractured place with a cancerous past that impacts on the present every day. The nicest people and the coldest, capable of kindness and cruelty, of sadness and joy. A place with unbelievable potential, a first world/third world fusion that could as easily fall into the chaos of its Northern neighbour as become an idyllic example to the world. Only time will tell which.
As for my hatred of law - I hated the pettiness of it all. I hated the stream of paperwork. I hated the one-upmanship of so many of the practitioners. And don't worry, I didn't practice long enough to specialise in anything, so expressing your distaste for defence attorneys ain't no problem to me.
My mother nicknamed me Kitty at the same time she named me Catherine after a great aunt and a grandmother ~but I am an animal lover, dogs, cats, horses ..........
Thanks Charlotte,
We do have a lot in common, between the books, shows, parent/grand, and places even. *WOW* That is a real shocker, and I do love a good mystery too. I find now too, that if I know a book is going to also become a movie ... I'd much sooner see the video edition, before getting into the book. It's a lot less disappointing than doing it in the reverse order.
Hi Charlotte. Well, according to my CS page, you and me, we're friends, we're buddies, we're pals. You may accidentally decline me, but CS knows better!
Charlotte, you Georgia peach! Thanks for your note. You should come north to New York at least once! But I know how beautiful Coral Gables is. It must be hard to leave...

Best bets near Coral Gables for finding 13 DAYS are the online sources--Amazon, BooksAMillion.com, B&N.com--or ordering through Borders or Barnes & Noble. 13 Days is stocked in some but none near you as best I can tell.LAS

"Cobb County" just registered. I spent 3 months in Atlanta years ago when my husband clerked for Judge Clark. What a picturesque place!

I used to rodeo but now I just watch sports and take daily walks with my three dogs.
