Book Review JANE by April Linder

Okay, some of you may know I am a HUGE Jane Eyre fan!!!  It's not only a Bronte Classic, but one of my favorite books!  How I missed discovering this little gem of a book until now is beyond me, because Jane by April Linder is an absolutely fabulous modern version of Jane Eyre.  Romance fans and Jane Eyre fans, let me say you seriously won't be able to put this book down.  The author captivates your attention using her own well written original version of the classic love story.

Jane Moore is a homely girl, who grew up with parents and siblings who mainly treated her as the outcast of the family.  When she is forced to drop out of college after the death of her parents and find a job.  Jane decides to sign up with a nanny agency.  Because Jane is so plain, the agency finds her perfect for the nanny position at the Thornfield Park estate, also home to the world-famous rock star Nico Rathburn.

Nico, a bit older has had a rockstar life which included lots of money, drugs and romances.  Many romances in fact, one of which resulted in a daughter.  He's never had to hold back from anything, he's had everything he ever wanted and more and now he's about to launch a massive comeback tour.

Now for any of you Jane Eyre fans you pretty much know what happens next.  Thornfield is filled with secrets, and a budding romance between Jane and Nico.  But Linder does this in a way, that you still feel the classic shine through, but a new version with differences that keep the reader turning pages and wanting more and more.

What you can expect with this book, is a retelling of a favorite classic.  But unlike the original, you don't have to start with her childhood and life before she meets the famous Nico.  Instead you as a reader get to jump right into Jane's move to Thornfield and watch the romance and story unfold from the beginning of the book.  It's also considerably more fast paced than the original.   However, don't worry you will still have plenty of character building for Jane and still gain the understanding of her pre-Thornfiled life.  You'll find yourself wanting, and smiling and being totally in love with this absolutely irresistible romance between Jane and Nico.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves the original Bronte Classic, as well as any reader who enjoys throwing them self into a fabulous romance.  The only downside to this book was the language, I don't particularly like reading books that drop the "F" bomb often throughout.  This one does quite a bit, with the Nico character.  I understand why the writer did it, she likely felt that is how a rockstar would talk and she helped use the language to build the character of who he is.  Personally I think she could have established this without it, but that is just me.  So if that sort of thing bothers you, you may not enjoy this read as much.
If you are like me, don't particularly like bad language in a book, but you read instead of listen to a book, you can do as I did and just skim over those parts and not let it ruin the rest of the fabulously romantic story!

Disclaimer:  I was not asked to review this book.  All thoughts, opinions and pictures above are my own.

By yiminny, 3 tugs in 30 minutes...

...but I'm getting ahead of myself!



It was a beautiful day, a bit overcast with threatening clouds out in front of us. We had a lovely uneventful day Saturday as we headed for our anchorage in the Alligator River. We like to go over to the southeast corner and drop the hook. We are generally alone there because there have been reports of cypress knees and stumps. Those reports are not exaggerated, but we have found if you go slow and keep an eye out it's not too bad.






Fuzzy tree!



It's a great spot with good protection and good holding, and this day was no exception. We had a good laugh tho' when we looked at the paper chart we've been using for several years...Tom had written "anchor near the fuzzy tree." Gotta' tell you, the whole coastline is cypress and pine trees! We also had the spot marked on our chart plotter, and guess what...we think we found the fuzzy tree!










Maggie at Alligator River



Maggie enjoyed this spot as well until the dark clouds caught up with us for a rainy night and rainy Sunday.



Ever wonder about those things that go bump in the night? We both bolted upright when we heard it, thinking maybe we were dragging anchor or something hit the boat. Tom ventured out in the rain, we checked everything inside and out, but found nothing. The only thing we could figure was that a big gust of wind caused the wind generator to brake, making a loud groan.



Back to our opening line...

As we headed back to the ICW, we watched a tug and barge go by, took our time to give him a good lead. As we approached the channel it appeared he turned around and was heading back toward us. We called him on the radio to ask if there was some obstruction in the canal. Turns out he was a different tug and barge heading north and had just passed the first one we saw. Low and behold that first tug did turn around after all and headed back toward us! Thus, 3 tug and barges in 30 minutes, and two of them were the same one! The Alligator/Pungo canal is only 90‘ wide, so we were happy to pass these guys before going into it!



Sunday was dreary and rainy, but not too bad. We were the only boat out there pretty much all day (not counting the tugs) except for one trawler who must have been in a great hurry as he threw a huge wake while blowing by us. Considerate boater? I don't think so!



The wind was a pretty steady 20 - 22 knots as we settled into our anchorage at Slade Creek. This is another favorite spot, and we always seem to be the only ones there.






River Dunes pool overlooking marina



For those of you who enjoy a nice snug marina, our next 2 nights were like nirvana! After a day of gusty winds, choppy following seas and rolling swells, we arrived to floating docks of Brazilian Cherry, swimming pool with cabanas, steam showers, bikes, golf carts, crew car, wifi, great protection, and a killer view! Bet you wish you were with us now!












Community Church







This is a beautiful development that got hit with the real estate crash, and is now starting to grow again. They have their own little community church, guest houses, lovely homes, and eventually shops and other retail.

Take a look at them at www.riverdunes.com.
















Fuel dock, Harbor Club and pool in background




Guest cottages



Tomorrow we are on our way again. We should be anchored in Town Creek by early afternoon. Offshore is not looking promising for us this week, but we hope to get a day or two out there before too much longer.



In case you're really into this and noticed that our last 3 postings are out of order, I can't explain it. Obviously my technical genius does not apply to navigating and manipulating this blog...or perhaps it does and that's the problem.



In any case, thanks for bearing with us as we make our way along!

Learning Through Games: Fine Motor Skills

by Lea Sidoti, co-coordinator of Labyrinth's Educational Outreach Programs

This is the second article in our series on learning through non-electronic games. Our first article covered cooperative games. The idea behind this series of articles is to explain some of the concepts that we address during our educational outreach efforts, like after-school game clubs, as well as provide our readers with the names of some great games and puzzles.


Whether you're shuffling cards, moving player pawns, or piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, games and puzzles require the use of your hands. That probably sounds like a pretty obvious statement; using your hands to manipulate objects isn't much of a challenge to most adults, so it isn't something we usually think about. But for young children, as well as individuals with disabilities, games can provide important opportunities to practice fine motor skills and develop abilities to help them gain independence and essential life skills.

Motor skills, the controlled ability to move your body, are generally divided into two groups: fine and gross. Gross motor skills involve full body movements, such as running and jumping, while fine motor skills specifically focus on the hands. Fine motor abilities include tying shoelaces, stacking blocks, and holding a pencil or paintbrush. The development of these and other physical skills is connected to the development of cognitive skills: Tying their own shoes allows a child to feel independent and self-confident. Building a tower teaches a child to think about balance, size, and shape. Learning to write or create artwork gives a person a new method of communication.

One of the first skills that babies learn is how to open and close their fingers to form a fist. Grasping toys are great tools to encourage this motion, and supporting the weight of the toy also improves a baby’s strength. We carry a variety of animal shaped grasping toys from Melissa and Doug and a classic toy called Skwish from Manhattan Toys. All of these toys are designed for small hands, and have some freedom of movement so babies can stretch and squash them, leading to further muscle development.

After mastering the ability to hold and move objects, a good new challenge to tackle is balancing objects. A few games provide this practice at varying levels of difficulty. One of the simplest is Stack Up!, where players work together to build a tower of large square blocks. The game comes with two batons, which children may use to hold the blocks indirectly, adding to the challenge as they advance in skill. A more complex option is Animal Upon Animal, where players stack wooden animal figures instead of blocks. The irregular shapes are harder to fit together, so stacking them requires more thought.

Pick-up sticks and Jenga are great examples of advanced fine motor skill games. They also illustrate how physical skills are closely tied to mental abilities. In these games, it is just as important to look closely at the pieces and make predictions about how they are dependent upon each other as it is to control your movements very precisely. If you are already familiar with these games and would like a new challenge, Suspend is a great game to check out. In Suspend, players hang pieces off of a base, trying to build up a suspended structure without upsetting the balance.

Many other games require fine motor skills without focusing on them exclusively. General skills that can be found in many games include rolling dice, shuffling and dealing cards, holding a hand of cards, and placing pieces or tiles on a board. Although fine motor skills are essential to the total development of a person’s body and brain, it is easy as adults to take our own abilities for granted and forget that these games and other activities provide babies and children much needed practice to gain basic coordination of their hands and minds.

Some of our other favorite games that focus on fine motor skills include:
  • Strong Stuff!
  • Perplexus
  • Jacks
  • Puzzles
  • Wobble Around Beads
  • Chickyboom
  • Rhino Hero
  • Treasure, Ready, Go!
  • Kee Kee the Rocking Monkey
  • Coo Coo the Clown
  • Zimbbos!
  • My Very First Games: Feeling and Touching
  • Latches Board
  • Basic Skills Board

Travel Tuesday Hiking Flume Gorge in New Hampshire

Today for my Travel Tuesday post I am taking you on a hike in Franconia Notch State Park in New Hampshire.  This is the Flume Gorge Trail.  This is a nice and easy 2 mile hike that anyone can do.  However, if you have a fear of heights, it might not be something for you.  But if your fears not too bad, go for it, its worth it.



I took this hike in September, which is why the leaves are just starting to change.  This is my favorite time of year in New England, as things are still green but some areas are just starting to sprout those beautiful and brilliant fall colors.


I should note, for those who cannot walk 2 miles there is a shuttle bus that can take you most of the way up to the gorge.
First off, you'll get to walk next to this cute covered bridge, I love covered bridges!


The trail takes you along the river that comes from the Flume Gorge above.


Beautiful granite rocks stand out as the water runs down them.


You'll begin walking up the gorge, on these wooden bridges built right into the granite rocks.  The rocks shoot up 70- 90 feet above you.  Covered in moss, it is absolutely beautiful.


There are quite a few stairs as you climb your way up the gorge.


There are bridges that cut across back and forth, so you have lots of opportunities to break out your camera.


If your lucky, you'll hit it on a day that it is less crowded so you can just stop and enjoy the beautiful peaceful surroundings.


You'll have lots of picture views, both above and below the gorge.


Lot's of waterfalls.


More covered bridges:)


Make sure you take all the little side trails, they lead to some spectacular views!


This picture above, is one of my favorites that I took that day!

IF YOU GO:
*  It does cost to go on this hike.  When I went it was $15 for each adult.
*  Bring your camera
*  This is a seasonal place, check with their website to make sure they are open.
*  The hike is in Franconia Notch State Park, so there is plenty more to do and see if you visit the area!





Okay, okay, I know...I never finished the DC posts. Well, it was a short trip, just a couple of weeks. It was fun and interesting, saw some sights, anchored out through another derecho, thought we ran out of fuel (fortunately we were wrong), fought some strong currents and made it safely back to Regent Point! Yada, yada, yada, right?



So, now that that's done, we can start anew for the trek south.



This is just a 'set up for an easy exodus tomorrow' day. We fueled up and are anchored up in Carter's Creek.






Tom, preparing for the long journey





Tomorrow the long move south begins. We're hoping for a beautiful, boring trip! Sorry, we know that's not much fun to read about, but we'll try to make it colorful.



It's always tough to leave friends, family and our marina family, but we are looking forward to being back out there again. Alas, we'll be back!



Stay with us and enjoy the ride!

Back in Norfolk

Yes, not my favorite because of all the ship traffic and everything, but it really is pretty at night with the lights.



It was a beautiful day on the Chesapeake Bay! It was cool enough to be pleasant and sunny and warm enough to enjoy being on the water. We fought the tide most of the way, and there was not a breath of wind until, we got to Hampton, and then not much.






Wolf Trap Light







For those of you not accustomed to rapid transit via sailboat, our trip today from Carter's Creek to Hospital Point on the Portsmouth side of the river (59 nautical miles or 68 miles) took almost the exact amount of time it takes us to drive from Jacksonville, FL to Richmond, VA (650 miles)!



We sped past Wolf Trap Light at a lightening speed of 5.8 knots...it was tough to get a picture with it flashing by, but I tried. See that spec with the single beam of light hitting it?  Well, that's Wolf Trap. The photo almost looks like I caught it's beam, cool huh!













Let's see, today there were dolphins...always a treat, and a pretty rare sighting for us, a huge sea turtle! There was something off the starboard bow that we couldn't identify until it stretched it's neck, raised it's head and paddled into a dive. We've seen a few sea turtles over the years, but this one was  so big, and right by the boat...very exciting!






Full moon rising over Norfolk











Even though we struggled a little with coming into the channel amid the big ships, tugs and barges, etc., all in all it was a pretty good day, and a beautiful evening.



Sometimes it can just take your breath away!

Thanks for letting us share it with you!

Creature from the black lagoon...

Norfolk has bridges, one after another, so, since we are heading south and there are restrictions on the Gilmerton Bridge, we based our departure on those. Gilmerton is about an hour away and doesn't open until 9:30 in the morning, so we planned on an 8:15 departure. What we didn't plan on was the creature from the black lagoon!



After a leisurely breakfast, we started the engine and Tom proceeded to weigh anchor. Well, something grabbed hold of it and just wouldn't let go! We edged forward and back gaining inches  at a time. Finally he got enough chain up to see that we had snagged a 3" cable, and it was pulling hard on the anchor. He couldn't get it to shake loose and couldn't get a trip line attached to the anchor. After struggling for half an hour, he was able to get a line around the cable, tie it off and shake the anchor down enough to let go. We felt lucky...next step would have involved a swim!



Okay, we can still make it for the 9:30 opening...just rev her up a little. Hah! One of the railroad bridges (almost always open, we've rarely seen them closed) was down, stayed down, the train (3 cars) came and went, we sat, for 30 minutes we sat. Missed the 9:30 Gilmerton opening...next one, 10:30. A bit of good luck...a tug was coming through Gilmerton at 10:00 and they held for us to get through too! Yay! What we weren't thinking was that the bridges are pretty much synchronized, so we didn't have to wait for Gilmerton, but then had to wait 45 minutes for the next one, ugh!






Too close for comfort!













Thru the bridges, thru the lock, now we're on our way! Down the Albermarle and Chesapeake Canal...very pretty...cypress knees, stumps and logs along either side, but room for two boats to pass, almost. When one of those boats is a tug with a huge barge, that canal can be very narrow! We had to turn around because there was not enough room for both of us, then snugged right up to the stumps and hoped for the best! Pictures can't really show how close and how big this guy was. But, he waved when he went by, and we didn't hit anything. We didn't make that bridge opening either, putting us a bit further behind.














But friendly!









Plan was to bypass Coinjock and anchor a little south. Ah well, the best laid plans...  So, a nice peaceful night at Midway Marina in Coinjock and a good meal at Crabby's, not all bad. Maybe next time we'll check out one of those anchorages.



Hey, if we have an easy uneventful day tomorrow, I may not have anything to write about. Let's hope you don't hear from us for a few days!



Thanks for checking in!
