Grayson's Knife book review

Grayson's KnifeGrayson's Knife by Russell H Aborn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Enjoyable read, no doubt. It was a different time. 1973 As I was turning the pages my mind slid back in time. Well crafted story with great characters. Grayson is the main character of the book. A likable thug with a lot of heart. Another thing was I loved the way the author told the story. The characters were alive and at times my heart pounded as I turned pages.
It takes place outside Boston and around North Quincy area. This has suspense, danger, thrills and a bit of a love story mixed together and sprinkled with a little dark humor. Worth the read.

Modern Research Reveals Your Heart Does Have A Mind Of Its Own - Reset.me

Modern Research Reveals Your Heart Does Have A Mind Of Its Own - Reset.me: Sayings like “I love you with all my heart,” and “my heart swelled with joy,” or the reference to someone being “broken-hearted” or “cold hearted” — how much of this poetic language is based on something real? Are these kinds of sayings references to something biologically true, stated in poetic terms?

24 K Gold Vitamin C Serum MakeUp Primer Xanadu

#isaprofessional
This is the most extraordinary beauty product that I've had the pleasure of trying in a long time!  I feel like a movie star, (well almost) I can say that I have had the utmost pleasure just being able to try this product. But along with that I can honestly say that I can see a glow in my face that was not there before using this product.
What I do see when I look in the mirror is that in just a short time of using Xanadu,  it has plumped up the wrinkles around my eyes. My face is smoother and clearer. It goes on lightly and it has a pleasant scent.  It's part of my daily regimen, which means that I have been using it morning and nightly for nearly 10 days. I know that 10 days is not much time to really make a difference so I'll keep going and keep sharing my opinion.  So far I love it. 
It's a fabulous product and it has ingredients that I am familiar with that are beneficial. The gold is a new one for me anyway. This has 24 kt gold flakes. I think that may help with the glow that I see in my mirror these days. It reacts with the skin in an amazing way. I got to try this product (yay me!) in exchange for an honest review. I'm quite pleased with it so far.
It's available here

Premium Anvil Pruning Shears by Davaon Review



These are definitely premium quality shears and so comfortable to use that I get much more done every time that I use them.  A funny thing is that I already own 2 other anvil pruners and have rarely used them.  It wasn't like I hadn't tried to use them in the past. I have plenty of trees, shrubs etc that need to be pruned and I do my best but I just did not feel like I was accomplishing much using either of the 2 other anvil pruning shears.
The first was part of a set that I bought years ago and I never could do much with them. Later I bought another pair which was disappointing as I bought a higher price single pair. They did better than the 1st set but were not comfortable at all to use so I gave up.   I wasn't expecting to be so pleased by these to be honest.
Let me say that I totally treasure my new anvil pruners. I am amazed at the level of satisfaction that I have for these. I made short work while using these. I never got a blister too. That's incredible because as a backyard gardener I have come to realize that getting hand blisters are just a normal part of life whenever there is a lot of trimming and cutting. My roses were a breeze to cut back. The dead wood on my shrubs was no problem and I kept going till I was done.  I had no idea that anvil pruners were such amazing helpful pruners!
 I will love these forever!  Thank you Davaon!
