![]() How could you not fall in love with the beautiful blue waters in Barbados? This location was definitely a front-runner, especially with Hilton Grand Vacations at The Crane recently becoming available to book. So what were some of the top vacation ideas for couples we considered booking with our Hilton Grand Vacations ClubPoints? Barbados ![]() ![]() However, let me say – this process definitely has taken a lot more research than our typical vacations. “Do we relax in paradise?” The Decision Making Process “Should we be adventurous and travel somewhere we’ve never been before?” With so many vacation ideas for couples to choose from, it’s definitely a tough decision. ![]() Thankfully, being Owners, there are so many options: from beach to city, domestic to international. One of my favorite parts of wedding planning has been researching our honeymoon with Hilton Grand Vacations. ![]()

![]() ![]() Stark comes off as a contrarian throughout. What Stark excels in, and what this book is full of, is a kind of scholarly iconoclasm. However, in a more important way, to judge this book as merely a conventional summary by a mature scholar would be to grossly underestimate it. Though not actively religious, he made his mark in the world of scholarship in the early- and mid- 1980’s with his work on the appeal of religious movements for individuals and social groups. Stark surely is a senior figure with a brilliant career. In one sense, this superficial assessment is correct. Written by a seasoned scholar, encapsulating the main points of his life of research, it has all the markings of a magnum opus, the summary findings of a career spent doing hard historical work. On the surface, this big book by Rodney Stark might seem like a conventional historical account. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have rarely read more beautiful descriptive language – certainly not sustained throughout a book as Seredy’s. Mother is a source of love and comfort, strength in a different way, always willing to open her home to more people – from extended family to Russian POWs to German children to others in need – and creatures alike. Father, Uncle Marton, Master Nagy is a bastion of strength and wisdom throughout the book – even when he is gone. The Singing Tree is a metaphor for beauty in the midst of chaos and is a poignant reminder in these difficult days. Friendships and hard work forge beautiful bonds and Seredy describes this beautifully. It is a place of shelter, peace, and joy. The book shows a family, small at first, that expands and opens it’s home in love during very troubled times. ![]() We read this as our “fun readaloud” at the end of Whatchamacallit (Morning Time) and it was a hit with the children often begging for more into their break time. Wow! I expected fantastic things after reading The Good Master and A Tree for Peter, but I didn’t really expect this. ![]() ![]() Many secondary characters in each book however are characters from previous books who are living in the California small town.
