Like I said... Life, it h...Hi Cheryl and Caroline!<br /><br />Like I said... Life, it happens and we continue to live it, and learn from everything and every choice we make. <br /><br />We get older, hopefully wiser, but learning never stops. Well, for those of us who are willing to accept that no matter how long we live, learning will be a part of our life. And welcomed. Curiosity might have 'killed a cat' but I think curious mind is something to be welcomed and encouraged in all of us. Once we stop being curious, what's left?! BOREDOM! That, we can not have...<br /><br />Cheryl, like I said, I was astounded to hear from her. She was visiting here in the US and we met that afternoon at our church, sat together, reminisced, and she came over for a few days to meet my family. I also met her daughters (btw. you will love this aside tidbit; and now that I'm about to tell you, it does sound like a soap opera; LOL!) <br /><br />I liked her daughters so much I introduced one of them to the guy you see on my picture with me. He was a very nice young man that worked with me, and just broke up w/his girlfriend, so hey what the heck?! Right. Young people should have some fun! Well, they liked each other, but she was just visiting and both were kind-a-shy, so nothing happened. <br /><br />A few years later, the young man told me (after trying to set him up with some more of my cousins who stood him up) that I owe him a date because they all stood him up...<br /><br />Fast forward to today, and I've been happily married for 11 years with this young man! I totally robbed the proverbial 'cradle'! He's 12 years my junior ;)<br /><br />He truly is my hero :)<br /><br />Caroline, I am actually Serbian, and we lived in Austria (Vienna) for ten months (worked there when I was 15 at a PUMA Factory) in 1972 we came to US (my mom & dad & my baby brother). All I remember of that time is how clean the city was, trolleys and parks, and everyone spoke English so I hadn't had a chance to 'pick up' much of German. One other thing that was so cool is the people and how welcoming, friendly and just plain good they were.<br /><br />Okay, now I've totally 'hogged' the comments and feel a bit embarrassed...Sorry...<br /><br />MelanieMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007305817916683756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505413.post-68707608117071711632011-11-10T10:24:47.268-06:002011-11-10T10:24:47.268-06:00Melanie, what a story!

While you told it I fell a little in love with the 19-year-old young man for taking your side when she became abusive. He has the attributes of a real hero! <br />I am sorry to hear she lost an eye. How dreadful. But, there is always a silver lining to everything, and is a theme I usually have running throughout my books. This is it; No matter how awful something is, there is always something good that comes from it. You two got back together and are close friends now. I think that’s so cool!<br />Now, I have to comment about you being from Austria. How exciting! I have a friend who’s from Imst, Tryol. I just love looking at pictures and such. It’s so beautiful.

Melanie here! All I read on Facebook...Hello There!<br /><br />Melanie here! All I read on Facebook is...I'm over at...and a Giveaway...so here I am too! <br /><br />Caroline, I am new to your prose, but ever since I took a chance on reviewing an 'unknown' author (to me) and my review appeared at RRAH (http://romancereaderatheart.com/pubsandpromos/2010/aug10/MD_CF.html) I've fell in love with this whole family and my Kindle is longing to download this new story!<br /><br />Now, for the question....Not a family member, but a friend. <br /><br />I was about 15, and she was 17 (an older woman for sure) and the affections of this young man of 19 were on the line. <br /><br />I have to say, we were so different in looks and temperament that I had absolutely no chance with this Dude! <br /><br />But, infatuation does not care for that, so when she saw that he was paying attention to me (trust me the boy was just nice in a brotherly sort of way, and very protective of the 'underdog', which I was) she became very nasty in calling me names, like 'four eyes' and 'chubby' and to this day I remember that he ignored her because she was just plain mean, and always protected me from anyone in the church group. <br /><br />When I left Austria (for USA) I left them both behind and told her off...<br /><br />Many years later, I picked up the phone and a woman is telling me she'd like to apologies for her behavior to me...You guessed it, it was my 'rival' telling me she was in an motorcycle accident and she lost her eye, and all she could think is how she called me 'four eyes'! WOW! That blew me away! We are great friends now, and she lives in Australia and I see her from time to time...<br /><br />Life....<br /><br />Thanks for a great post and I so hope to win this book :)<br /><br />Melanie<br />www.bookworm2bookworm.wordpress.com<br />Ashley March's 'Hook-a-Book' is...<br />Stop by to find out and WIN IT!!!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007305817916683756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505413.post-80008876330308600122011-11-10T10:05:41.341-06:002011-11-10T10:05:41.341-06:00LOL Cheryl, that is toooo funny.
