Friday was my sister's birthday. What did I send her? Recall that I am a
bookseller and that we are a family of readers! Can I be more specific? Not
without spoiling the surprise, in case the package hasn’t reached her yet. Were
the cover colors bright or subtle? Definitely subtle. Will she find the book
boring? Not on your life! It will transport her to a place she'd like to be....

Nice calming post! I actually like the subtle colors of winter. I'm sure your sister will LOVE her b-day gift!
My sister says the package arrived on Thursday, and she's looking forward to reading her new book. I looked into THE GEOARCHAEOLOGY OF LAKE MICHIGAN COASTAL DUNES today and thought of Gerry Sell. There is Torch Lake, and there north (on succeeding pages) are the sections of coastline my sister and I were taken to explore with Gerry as our guide.
A calm post is nice once in a while, isn't it? I can't rant every day, after all. :)
