Teaser Tuesday--Outlander

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

"Even admitting for a moment the completely implausible idea that I was in another time than my own, Inverness had stood in its present location for some six hundred years. It was there. But, apparently, it had no lights. Under the circumstances, this strongly suggested that there were no electric lights to be had."

This book has been out for 20 years, but I just started reading it. Outlander was recommended to me by a lady I met at a restaurant. She's from Scotland and said she loved the Outlander series. How could I say no to a review like that?

What's on your nightstand?

It's my anniversary...so I took a nap.

Today is our 19th wedding anniversary. My husband and I have been married one year short of two decades--so far, so good. His motto is, "happy wife, happy life", and it's working well for both of us.

We plan on dinner out tonight, but nowhere expensive or stuffy. We'll be going to a new restaurant that belongs to friends, a casual wings place where the food is prepared by the owners' son. We can do "expensive and stuffy" for the big 2-0. Or not.

As to the nap, turns out much of what I do in a day is dependent on the electric company. Our power went out for about an hour and a half this afternoon. I don't know yet what happened; there was no storm nearby, the power just went out.

I couldn't sew, do laundry, or work on the computer. I could, however, read a novel until I fell asleep. So I did.
