I do find the vampire lore interesting. It persists throughout the ages, doesn't it?<br /><br />Lanny, it is funny ( well, not FUNNY ) what the Pacific Northwest is famous for, isn't it? When I moved here from Virginia EVERYONE thought I was moving to a place where covered , horse drawn wagons and monsoons were the norm,...Kurt Cobain and Vampires...I have not encountered either. Must be the deep dark forests and rain that inspire such ideas.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-7894575878924865792009-07-19T23:16:58.489-07:002009-07-19T23:16:58.489-07:00You know we have a beautiful state, it just seems ...You know we have a beautiful state, it just seems like the rest of the country knows us for the likes of Kurt Cobain and Twilight.

I think part of it is the tie in with movies and the media hype that goes with it that makes them so popular. I also think it is because they are very unique from so many of the books that are written these days. They both are about very specific topics too. If you say vampire books, everyone today immediately thinks of the Twilight Series, and wizardry and wizard's school immediately brings to mind the Harry Potter books. I don't know whether the fact that they both deal with magical or fantasy worlds has anything to do with it or not. They both seem to appeal to both teenagers and adults too, so perhaps it has a broader audience base for that reason.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-53379302209200364492009-07-18T14:40:36.210-07:002009-07-18T14:40:36.210-07:00Maybe you could've picked up some garlic to we...Maybe you could've picked up some garlic to wear along with the lavendar at the festival ... in case of vampires.<br />Please make note: Nothing died at your house while you were away this time ~ not even the moles!!!!A.

I want to learn more about importing posts, etc., guess I will read and learn as you do!<br /><br />Thistle Cove, amen sister! Revelations will do that, and also encourage...maybe? The occult is most definitely forbidden in the Bible....<br /><br />LindaSue, Woodinville is a very pretty place. And there was enough garlic in the Italian food that if there were vampires they would be deterred there. The food can stand alone as reason enough to eat at Bella Italia!And thank-you, we did have a very nice time together this past week.<br /><br />Debbie, you sound like me. My poor husband would love to travel more but I love to stay home. Even when we are going someplace I want to see I drag my heels at getting on the road and after 4 days I want desperately to be home. Yes, our daughter and her kids make it possible for us to get away!<br /><br />Southern Comfort, sometimes fresh okra is for sale in the supermarkets, I will try it out. The pickles look and sound ( read ? ) like they are delicious!<br /><br />Mildred, the girls AND their mothers were in town in droves....everywhere there were whole families , including the dads, tracing the Twilight story through Port Angeles, onto Forks. Forks has been a seriously economically depressed area for years so they are welcoming this influx of people willing to spend money in their area. And can't think of too many more beautiful places to hang out looking for pretend creatures.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-31779154781774225502009-07-18T12:38:54.270-07:002009-07-18T12:38:54.270-07:00Looks beautiful there.

That whole series of Twilight books is wildly popular at the library. All the titles in the series have been on really long reserve lists for months now.
