Washington’s Lady

- Ambrosia Leave a comment
The carriage drew to a halt, and I watched George steady his shoulders, raise his chin, and take a deep breath-as tho prepareing to go into battle.

It appeared my trepadation was catching.

We were getting close.

I could tell by the speed at which we traveled, and the many times George looked from left to right out the windows. He was like a little boy with something to show.

“Who teases you george?” “Henry, Mason, Jefferson”

While we were introduced my mind moved to our next obstacle: George.

“We voted to have a day of prayer and fasting to showcase our solidarity with Boston’s sufferings.” “That is a laudible idea” I said. “Was it yours?” “Not mine. But that of Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, and Patrick Henry.”

To have this hulk of a man kneel at my feet, his large hands engulgfing mine, his blue-grey eyes peering up at me..imploreing me with their sincerity.
“I would, could and will.” I said “Yes, I say yes.” I added just to make sure he understood my affirmation. ~ Page 56 Washington’s Lady by Nancy Moser

E-food Dept

- Ambrosia Leave a comment

Alright this website I came across seemed pretty different to me. I mean honestly very different, I have heard of food delivery like Simon Delivers. But while I was looking around I stumbled upon, you guessed it online groceries. You got it you can buy your groceries online. It’s interesting to be sure. But I have to say that E food Depot has a great selection of foods. They claim over 4500 various ethnic food products and they say they are getting more everyday. They also offer a fantastic Flat Rate Shipping rare of a very low $4.99.

E food Depot carries foods from just about everywhere in the world that you can dream of. Asia, Indian, European, Middle Eastern, South American fantastic! They also have a fanatic array of recipes that they offer, well over 4000 of them. Which is fantastic who can’t use a new recipe to try to keep everyone in the house happy right? They have some very hard to find ethnic food products in the ranges of snacks, sauces, spices, cooking mixes, sweets, cookies, beverages, etc. I have to say that while the idea was new to me and maybe even a little bit odd I am now fully curious.

The website itself is very easy to navigate with foods sectioned off into their easy to find groupings. They also have some kitchen accessories and other hard to find items. And as if that wasn’t enough reasons to go over and check it out, they also have away to make cash referral program. So you can get your groceries and make a little bit of money by having your friends order some too. At least that’s what I would do! So hey in these times why not look for some new and interesting ways to save money. This certainly goes right up there.

Musing Monday #15 – Reading Time

- Ambrosia Leave a comment

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about reading time…

Do you have a set reading time (before bed, perhaps)? Do you read more at night or during the day? Is there a day of the week, perhaps, that you set aside to catch up on reading?

I read any time I can possibly read. I do most of my reading at night however. When my husband is asleep and the day is mostly done. I can cuddle up with my book and read. I am a night owl so it also gives me something to do. I try to read everyday, but if I fall behind Sunday is the day I use to try to catch up. However once Renn fest starts for those weeks my catch up day for reading will be Tuesdays.


The Gift of Time

- Ambrosia Leave a comment

Watches are a great gift for just about any time, and for anyone I think the best time for me to give one to someone I loved though would be an anniversary. I think a good watch is a fantastic gift for any occasion but really for an anniversary, maybe just so they can watch the time pass as they spend time with you and in love. Just kidding of course. So head over and check out Citizen Eco Drive for watches.

My grandfather once told me that a watch was a very good gift to give. That it meant something. And when you gave a gift that meant something you should make it serious, and put thought into it. He said don’t just get any watch. Get a good quality watch that will last. His idea was that it should also be something that could be passed down in the generations. Something that a son could give a father, and than the father could pass it back o to the son. And see it go down through the years. I personally liked that advice and I think while the time has passed since his day the words are sage and still stand. So take a look around, find a watch you like and find a watch that would be good for someone special in your life. And pass on the gift of time.

It is time to say hello to one of my favorite men in History again this week..
Hello Thomas Jefferson.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
Thomas Jefferson

So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.
Thomas Jefferson

Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.
Thomas Jefferson

Speeches that are measured by the hour will die with the hour.
Thomas Jefferson

Taste cannot be controlled by law.
Thomas Jefferson

That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.
Thomas Jefferson

That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.
Thomas Jefferson

The advertisement is the most truthful part of a newspaper.
Thomas Jefferson

The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.
Thomas Jefferson

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.
Thomas Jefferson

The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses.
Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson

The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead.
Thomas Jefferson

Second Update for Read-A-Thon

- Ambrosia Leave a comment

I am failing miserably at this read-a-thon *laughs* But I am having fun. I did manage to finnish one book so far, and that was The Naked Earl. It was a fanatsic book. But between my book meeting, and being distracted with other things to do and the need of a nap, I only read for about 4 hours today, and I was dissapointed it took that long to finnish the book. But 4 hours is 4 hours, and I will not be super depressed and simply say I am trying.And I am having fun so that is most important!

Book Review: The Naked Earl by Sally Mackenzie

- Ambrosia Leave a comment

He Took Her By Surprise

When a naked earl climbs through the window into her bedchamber, Lady Elizabeth Runyon does the proper thing: She screams. Loudly. And then… well, Lizzie has had enough of being proper. She won’t be commanded to put on her nightgown. Just this once, she will be absolutely daring…

She Returned The Favor

Robert Hamilton, Earl of Westbrooke, has no intention of being tricked into marriage by a detestable female, and if he has to flee naked across a rooftop, he will. Jolly good there’s an open window waiting — as well as an undressed, slightly drunk, and alluringly beautiful Lady Elizabeth. Oh dear. If they are caught together, he might have to marry her. The idea is delicious… and the temptation is irresistible…




It is time to wander around with some more naked nobility. This time I have set my sights on the third book in the series, and we will talk more in depth with The Earl of Westbrooke, Robbie. Robbie was seen as a character in both The Naked Duke and The Naked Marquis, and in those stories he saw his to best friends get the terrifying leg shackle. Something Robbie reverently avoids, he has become very adapt at escaping the parsons mousetrap.

Or is that what he really wants? Is Robbie truly afraid of marriage, or is he afraid of something else? We will find out in this story that Robbie has a terrifying secret, and no matter how much he loves Lady Elizabeth, he can not marry her. And he does love her, its no secret that Lizzie the Duke of Alizarins sister loves Robbie, and among the ton it is not secret he casts the same glances.

The Naked Earl is a fantastic story, just like the other two books. It does have a few small points that drag a little bit. But other than that it is titillating. And like The Naked Duke it steps out of some of the normal’s of the romance genre. We have a very bad villain, and also a villainess. You will even find a few soft mentions to BDSM, nothing to terrify your senses. But the villains to make a mention of it. Over all if you have enjoyed the other books in the series you will like this one. If you havent read the others you will want to so you know who all the characters are. Although you could get away with just reading The Naked Duke. So if you’re a romance reader join me in giggling at the romps of the Naked Nobles, Robbie is sure to make you laugh!

I am almost 100 pages into my book which is a slow pace, but I have also been working and doing other things. I am not overly happy with my progress, But this is my first ever read a thon so I should take myself lightly and just see what happens. Especially since I have not been feeling well anyways. I am going to contiune a little more reading after a snack, and see if i can make it at least half way through this book before I get some sleep and head off to my book meeting tommrow.
