Country by Danielle Steel
This story is about Stephanie and she's in the marriage for the sake of the kids.
At a ski trip where her husband Bill and other couples meet at Squaw Valley every year without kids enjoy the time together.
She was there for the perks, visits with her daughter and everything she wanted, he was cheating on her. After the ski accident that kills him, she gets through helping the kids struggle without him.
Now I understand what my mom went through, feeling like she was the fifth wheel and no longer a couple. Love hearing of her charily work.
She is able to just seize the moment and do what she wants. That's how she ends up in Las Vegas! Recall our trip there and good to reminisce about the area, sounds, and sights.
Love her other travels as we've visited some of the areas and enjoyed them. Like hearing of the CW singer's life and how lyrics are written for the songs and their friendship.
Interesting as the story also follows her son, who's in a relationship and he knows it's not going anywhere...
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

How to Reduce Food Waste: Especially fruits and vegetables
Since we are now using more fresh fruits and vegetables we are able to compost what we don't eat and there is hardly any more garbage we need to get rid of weekly.
As the book instructs you have to know what it is you are buying and how often so there is no waste.
We do this ourselves by shopping for fresh things two times a week.
