Yeah! I just heard on NPR that the house that Agatha Christie my most Favorite Authoress in the whole world, is open on the 28th of February. I wish I could be there for this great event. But alas it is in England just outside of London. So there is no way I'll be there. I did what I could and entered Fear.net $5000.00 contest for a vacation. I have very high hopes of winning! Well, hello, hello, I am now one of her Super Fans so I can keep up with all the news about her. I did recently hear that they are making another movie, this time starring Miss Marple with one of my fav girls from "Skins" Cassie in it. Can't wait to see it. I just found out that there is a new game out, "evil under the Sun." for Wii. You know, the first time I get a chance I will buy that. We have already played out the other two games from AOL. The kids just love them, it is an eye spy type of game, with clues. When my Mother in Law was here last year she played for hours. It was nice, she was able to connect with the kids. So why what is my history with Agatha, well a rich one. In the summer my parents sent me to the shore for most of the summer with my Nan, and her sisters, and my Mom-Mom. They had a Readers Digest collection of leather bond Agatha Christie novels. I would lay on the back porch lounge and read for hours. I was gone from there and was Miss Marple or Poirot solving mysteries and more important going to exotic places. It was truly a wonderful time for me. I was doted over by five woman, and I am so very thankful that I had that beauty in my childhood. Let my share some of my favorites of the collection.
Peril at End House
Then There Was None
Death on the Nile (also a great movie with Mia Farrow playing a crazy love sick girl)
Murder on the Orient Express
I hope you will see now why I have such a great love of England.
