Those Empty Eyes – Charlie Donlea and Thoughts About Authors
So I know us avid readers all have favorite authors.

Marcie Rendon – Girl Gone Missing After a Quick Catching Up
Let’s Catch Up……..
Ok so here we go again, you don’t know it but I have made several attempts to get back to writing this blog. All of them are still in the draft stages!

The Battle of the Hedgerows Ends July 18, 1944
Today in History July 18- The Battle of the Hedgerows Ends with a Family Connection

From July 11th to July 18th the US and German forces fought for control over the city of St. Lô. St. Lô was key to the US Army’s breaking out of Normandy into the French hinterland. Because the US forces had to fight their way through fortified hedgerows that separated field, the battles became the Battle of the Hedgerows.
