My book club just finished Along the Infinite Sea by Beatriz Williams. Beatriz has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her stories are so romantic while still remaining to be engrossing historical novels. I get so involved with the stories that I simply cannot put them down. Here is the summary of this book:
Each of the three Schuyler sisters has her own world-class problems, but in the autumn of 1966, Pepper Schuyler’s problems are in a class of their own. When Pepper fixes up a beautiful and rare vintage Mercedes and sells it at auction, she thinks she’s finally found a way to take care of herself and the baby she carries, the result of an affair with a married, legendary politician.
But the car’s new owner turns out to have secrets of her own, and as the glamorous and mysterious Annabelle Dommerich takes pregnant Pepper under her wing, the startling provenance of this car comes to light: a Nazi husband, a Jewish lover, a flight from Europe, and a love so profound it transcends decades. As the many threads of Annabelle’s life from World War II stretch out to entangle Pepper in 1960s America, and the father of her unborn baby tracks her down to a remote town in coastal Georgia, the two women must come together to face down the shadows of their complicated pasts.

I was reading that one of the best ways to grow roses are potatoes!!!!!! YES!!!!! POTATOES!!!!! It is almost spring and now is the best time to try this soooooooo……
Here goes:
1. Cut a healty rose stem on a diagonal (you can remove the flower head).
2. Make a hole in a potato at least 2 inches deep.
3. Dip the end of the stem in plant hormone powder (this is optional but help encourage roses or grow)
4. Put the tip into the hole of the potato.
5. Bury the potato into the ground to cover the potato but leave the cutting exposed.
6. Put a stake in the ground and loosely attached the cutting to keep it straight.
7. Water the soil around the planting but do not soak the ground as too much water will rot the potato.
AND VOILA…….
