It's an Argeneau novel, how can a person not like it? I just wish I had an uncle Lucian and an aunt Marguerite.

I cannot say much more than I have said already. I am a big Kate Ryan fan. She's a little older than a 30 something and so full of personal angst and fear that it a hoot watching her come to terms with everything. Everyone should have an Aunt Hannah! Take a ride, you'll enjoy the trip.

The genre of these books are not really the reason why I read them. I read them because the woman who wrote them is my aunt.  She turned 80 on July 20, 2017 but passed away this past Wednesday, July 26.  She was a remarkable woman & I have read some of the reviews about the spelling and other stuff so I want to tell you a little bit about my aunt.  At the age of 13, she was struck with polio. From that point forward for the next 67 years she did not have the use of her arms as she was paralyzed. She no longer went to school after that but none of her siblings, including my mother, graduated from high school so the chances are she wouldn't have either.  She got married in her late teens to a man who was stationed at Carswell AFB in Fort Worth.  He became my uncle even though he knew he would have to feed her, bathe her, and even wipe her butt for her for the rest of her life. That is true love & that is what she wrote about.  The characters in her books do not have easy lives and neither did she.  My uncle was career Air Force and she lived in Spain, Germany and Africa while giving birth to and raising 2 boys. She learned to change diapers with her feet.  She wrote checks and paid the bills with her toes until her boys were old enough to help her with some of these things.  My uncle became an alcoholic and so life was not very easy for her or my cousins for many years and she even separated from him for a few years while he fought through his addiction and decided to be a better husband even though it might have been too late for him to be a better dad.  Even though she lacked a high school education, she was a vociferous reader and was very wise and intelligent.  She never for as long as I can remember ever let anything stop her from doing what she wanted to do.  So a few years ago she decided she wanted to write a book.  She had no experience, training or education past maybe the 7th grade.  Yet she did it. She typed with her toes and wrote some books.  Are they the best that have ever been written? No.  But now that you know a little more about her, maybe you can appreciate a little more her accomplishments and her stories.  I only wish she had written a story about her own life as I feel that would have been more interesting and entertaining than any book she has written and would probably be one of my favorite books of all time. I am lucky, though, since I got to hear the stories of her life growing up.  Please keep her in your prayers and thoughts.  No one is truly gone as long as they are remembered.

Hank was my uncle. I never knew his story because he wouldn't talk about it. The man who wrote it had to really gain his trust. My uncle was an extraordinary man.  My 11 year old son read the book in 1day. I read it when it first came out. Such a sad story. I wondered how he could have gone through so much in his youth and still have such a positive attitude.  Thank you.

It is not too often you hear about a man that lived a special life.  You then hear he wrote a book about that life, then you get to meet the man that lived that special life.  How blessed I feel to get the opportunity to read an amazing life story, then shake hands with the man who has sacrificed so much to say that a sweet aunt I know sacrificed more.  All because he decided to begin a fitness plan after many injuries.  All lives are special.  He makes you feel that way and want to be that way.  He is a truly special person that may live next door.  You just never know.

Actually I just ordered it today but am sure I will love it as Albert Blair was my great uncle. Imagine my surprise when reading "merry bush's" review! My father is Morgan Blair who is the son of Alexander, brother to Albert.

Sweet. No problems too big. I hate the kids mother even at the end. The uncle should have been arrested or just shot.

Uncle is our 1001 Children's Books You Must Read book group's latest read. It's a book that never appeared on my radar until I saw it on this list. It's a story, I suspect, that kids will love more than adults, but, as I'm the rare adult who hasn't quite grown up yet, I adored it. Uncle is an elephant and he and his friends are fighting a constant guerrilla war with a group of his enemies who are jealous of Uncle's power and influence and riches. It's very, very fun, with each group pranking the other, slinging little arrows at the other, and just trying to get the other group to yield and cry...well, uncle.

I would like to commend my aunt for the years of hard work that she has put into her book.  It wasn't easy for her to do it but I am glad that she did.  I know that this doesn't really go into detail about the book that she wrote but I figure that anyone who is dillegent enough to write a book and have it published between taking my cousins to their multiple events is well worth the read.  I wonder what she is going to do next!!

Thank you Cartoon Network for sending us this DVD to review!

As the name suggests, Uncle Grandpa is a very odd show.  I'm not even sure how to describe it other than it being "face palm" funny.  The main character, Uncle Grandpa, helps kids by taking them on adventures to solve their problems.  While he does have the ability to replicate himself and conjure up items from thin air, he often makes things harder on himself than necessary.

Uncle Grandpa is often accompanied by his friends Belly Bag (his fanny pack), Pizza Steve, Mister Gus, and Giant Realistic Flying Tiger.  Whenever Uncle Grandpa's  RV needs that extra boost, Giant Realistic Flying Tiger happily helps out with his rainbow flatulence.
The Good Mornin' DVD collection features twelve episodes and runs for 132 minutes.  Here's a list of the episodes in this collection:

Brain Game - Pizza Steve claims to be the best gamer ever - can he put his skills on the line to help out a kid?
Moustache Cream - Uncle Grandpa needs some moustache cream in a hurry; can he get it in time?
Nickname - All of the kids but one have nicknames, so Uncle Grandpa helps that kid earn his.
Locked Out - Uncle Grandpa gets locked out of his RV; how will he get back in?
Mystery Noise - During a sleep over Uncle Grandpa and friends cannot fall asleep due to a weird noise.  They tear apart the RV looking for it.  Can they find the source of it?
Bad Morning - Uncle Grandpa is miserable when he wakes up on the wrong side of his bed.  His friends attempt to correct the problem.
Bezt Friends - Everyone but Pizza Steve agrees to be Uncle Grandpa's best friend.  Will Pizza Steve reconsider?
Hide and Seek - Uncle Grandpa is afraid to play hide and seek after never finding one of his friends.  Will he overcome his fear and join in the fun?
The History of Wrestling - Uncle Grandpa and Mister Gus show people how real wrestling is done.
Vacation - Uncle Grandpa needs to take a vacation from helping people.  After arriving at a remote island he finds out he's their only hope from stopping a devastating volcanic eruption.  Will he help them?
Aunt Grandma - Uncle Grandpa is  being upstaged by a new person helping kids in need.  There's not enough room for both of them.
Grounded - Uncle Grandpa unwittingly helps a kids escape from being grounded.  Now he must outsmart this kid to get back into his room.

All of the episodes are wacky and my kids are now fans of the show.  Like most cartoons out there, you can expect to find cartoon violence and potty humor.  If that doesn't bother you, this DVD is worth owning for its $10 price tag.

A wonderful read!  Written by my husband's uncle. But I still would have purchased it and read it anyway. Loved It!

It's ok. Hard to imagine kids liking it, I remember hating it when I was young. It's amusing as an adult, but not great.

I have a love/hate relationship with this robe.  It is chenille so the "hate"side, lots of fuzz when you wash it for the first couple of times, and when I saw "lots", I'm talking you could build a 14 story bird nest out of the fuzz you'll pull from the dryer!  The "love" side,  the chenille fabric brings back some amazing memories of my sweet grandma (she always wore a chenille robe), it's a wonderful walk down memory lane when I wear the robe.  The style, hate, I don't care how well endowed you may be, this thing makes you look like a very flat chested 9 year old!  The love, who cares if I look flat chested in it, hubs knows I have "puppies", and it's warm.  Hate, that darn zipper that is not a break away, grrrr.  The love, that same zipper... I don't have to fumble with getting a zipper started when I'm racing to pump some caffeine into my cup/IV.  Hate, the neck line, it's not up around my neck and ears so when I'm curled up in the robe, watching my latest Netflix addition, I have to pull the robe up to keep the cool air away and stay snuggly.  The love, it's thick, heavy, warm and roomy, who cares if I look like a flat chested, no neck Santa when I wear it.... and it reminds me of my grandma... WIN!

My neighbor bought this.  I feel bad for him, you know--he's way wrinkly, on a pension and god knows how many medications--so I go over there sometimes after work.  Keep him company.  Make sure his cats don't start eating him again.  Anyway, the other day we're sitting there, chatting about my lawn (actually, he was telling me how he wanted to put out red, white, and blue lava rocks on my lawn so we could have matching American flags) while I'm painting the toenails of his African Baboon leg lamp.  And all of a sudden he sort of snaps to, tells me he has something to show me. So he goes in the other room and brings out a cardboard box. I was like, Oh, cool, you finally bought that bear-shaped branding iron you wanted (his dog keeps getting mixed up with the one across the street), and my neighbor just chuckles quietly, shakes his head, and pulls out THIS thing.

What were you thinking, Amazon?  You can't just go around letting people BUY this. My neighbor is OLD.  He can't handle THE CRYSTAL GAVEL--I mean, he can barely use a can opener (another reason to worry about his cats).  Now he's running around with a twinkle in his eye, wielding his gavel like a much younger man.  Every night the police bring him to my door, writhing and manic and clutching his now-bloody gavel, and threaten to throw him in jail if I can't keep him out of the streets.  Then it's up to me to wipe the froth from his lips, warm up some milk, and tuck him in bed.

People.  If you care about the old ones in your life, protect them from THE CRYSTAL GAVEL and other illusions of unlimited power.

My brother and his wife bought this for my daughter. She loved it (we hated it). It was the perfect gift for an Aunt or Uncle to give. Now that my brother and his wife are expecting we are very excited to return the favor. I can not wait!
