Welcome to Week 188!
Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grab you.
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url. It's that simple.

"They should have a room ready for your grandfather soon, Miss Bontrager."
"I'm right here," Grosdaadi grumped. "Don't talk about me like I'm not."
~ Page 156 From Flowers for Rachael by Kathleen Fuller
*Grosdaadi means grandfather in Middlefield Amish*

Ah yes, it's not nice to talk about someone as if they aren't there.
ReplyDeleteNobody wants to be ignored! It drive me crazy when I see someone talking as if an older person isn't there or isn't capable of hearing or understanding what's being said.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd enjoy these Amish novellas.
I hate it when people talk about me as if I am not right there in the room. I know how the grandfather feels.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cover art! Happy vacation, Freda!
ReplyDeleteLOL I could almost hear him! I have a feeling people will hear him.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it could be a sad one.
ReplyDeleteLovely, sad, and engaging....thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like grandfather. I hate when people talk about me like I'm not there and he's at least forcing them to acknowledge him.
ReplyDeleteI like books about gardens. I like to read about the Amish too. I'm glad the old guy took up for himself.
ReplyDeletePretty cover and it looks like it will fit the book. Poor grandpa.
ReplyDeleteI can practically smell that lavendar! We visited a lavendar farm a few summers ago and it was such a wonderful afternoon!
ReplyDeletePoor grandfather...it's never nice when people do that.
ReplyDeleteI've been away from the meme for a while, but I'm trying to do better on participating....
Poor man, I feel bad that that made me laugh though :D
ReplyDeleteBeing ignored because people think you're incapable is the worst.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my blog, Freda.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to return the favor.
