The River Queen: A MemoirIn the fall of 2005 acclaimed writer Mary Morris set off down the Mississippi River in a battered old houseboat called The River Queen, with two river rats named Tom and Jerry and an ailing, irascible rat terrier named Samantha Jean. Her father had just died. Her daughter had gone off to college. Lost and uncertain, Morris returned to the river of her youth, to the waterside towns where her father had once lived. In this poignant and often humorous

In the fall of 2005 acclaimed writer Mary Morris set off down the Mississippi River in a battered old houseboat called The River Queen, with two river rats named Tom and Jerry and an ailing, irascible rat terrier named Samantha Jean. Her father had just died. Her daughter had gone off to college. Lost and uncertain, Morris returned to the river of her youth, to the waterside towns where her father had once lived. In this poignant and often humorous memoir, Morris reclaims the world of her childhood as she gets a bearing on her future. She describes traveling down stream through the Midwest, living like a pirate as she survives a tornado and infestation of mayflies, bivouacs on beaches, and ties up to paddleboats in the dark of night. As she learns to pilot the River Queen through these fabled waters, Morris delivers a memoir that "deserves to be both a best-seller and a classic" (The Courier-Journal).

Simple and Effective for Fresher Breath!
I decided to try these stainless steel tongue scrapers, and I'm glad I did. You get a pack of two, which is convenient. They feel really sturdy, being made of surgical steel, and they are easy to clean. I've noticed a difference in how fresh my mouth feels since I started using them. It's a simple addition to my oral hygiene routine, but it seems to make a real impact on breath freshness. If you're looking for a durable and effective tongue cleaner, this two-pack is a good option.

Moisturizing spray that works
Size: 0.75 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I have a very dry mouth due to medical conditions. I use this mouth spray at night because it was so hard to sleep through the whole night with such a dry mouth. Using the spray before bed I’m able to sleep through the entire night!
