The Miraculous Water Cracker!

Trouble yourself not. Miracles happen. 

Exhibit A: Water Cracker with a relief of the Blessed Virgin. Discovered Monday, April 21, 2013, in a box of Open Nature Water Crackers labeled 100% Natural.  100%!

View when cracker is standing up (aided by napkin).

 View when cracker lay flat on a plate (aided by gravity).

Mysteries abound, people. Mysteries abound.

In other news, in a completely impartial drawing of names from a hat, fate decided that Addey wins the Pass the Book Game. Addey, send your address to mail@margaretfinnegan.com and I will send you your copy of Camelot & Vine by Petrea Burchard, although I still haven't sent Katie her copy of Death At Pemberly, so don't hold your breath. I'm aiming for a post office visit on Friday.

Pass the Book: Camelot & Vine

Wanna play Pass the Book?  I learned about Pass the Book from Deb at Paper Turtle, but there is more about it here.

Here's how we play. I send you a book that I like and that I have signed. Then you read the book, sign your name under mine, and pass the book to another reader, who reads it, signs it, and passes it to another reader, and so on and so on.

The book I'm going to pass along is called Camelot & Vine. It's by Petrea Burchard, who writes the Pasadena Daily Photo blog and who sometimes comments on this blog.

I really liked Camelot & Vine, and not just because I know Petrea. It's a fun read! It's about this gal, Casey, who finds herself hurled back to the time of King Arthur. Due to her dramatic entrance, her modern day clothes and her knowledge of the future, she is mistaken for a wizard. To protect herself and increase her access King Arthur, who she feels increasingly drawn too, she tries to keep that pretense going, but the stakes keep getting higher and consequences for lying keep getting more dangerous. What will Casey do?

Find out by playing my game! Just say "I'm in!" in the comments section. On April 24 I will draw a name out of a hat and mail the book to the winner.

Free! Free! Free! Fun! Fun! Fun! Let the game begin!
