Description
I and ClaudieI and Claudie is a delightful and captivating novel about a couple of bungling but good hearted con men who (barely) make their way across Texas over a two year period in the 1930s. Their adventures, Anderson said, were "in no sense autobiographical, but sometimes I am sorry they are not." The charming con men outwit lumbermen, oil men, and others, but are sometimes the victims themselves. Clint Hightower (the "I" in the title) is a smooth talking
I and Claudie is a delightful and captivating novel about a couple of bungling but good-hearted con men who (barely) make their way across Texas over a two-year period in the 1930s. Their adventures, Anderson said, were "in no sense autobiographical, but sometimes I am sorry they are not." The charming con men outwit lumbermen, oil men, and others, but are sometimes the victims themselves. Clint Hightower (the "I" in the title) is a smooth- talking maker of deals; Claudie Hughes, all 6'6 of him, is his slower-of-mind sidekick who does all the real work and, often unwittingly, saves the day. The reader is both entertained and informed by the book. We learn much about Texas and Texans of the period. We learn about hurricanes along the coast, oil leasing and lumbering in East Texas, buried treasure in West Texas, the state fair in Dallas, the stockyards in Forth Worth, farming along the Brazos River, and more. The stories that make up the novel have been compared in style to O. Henry's classic tales. Several of them appeared in the venerable Atlantic Monthly before the book was published in 1951. One of A.C. Green's all time top 50 I and Claudie is a delightful book. One or two latter-day critics have termed it too ingenuous for our sophisticated age. Don't believe them. Clint Hightower would be right at home today in many an executive suite, with Claudie . . . waiting to take the fall for him.-- A. C. Greene, The Fifty Best Books on TexasBinding Type: Paperback

Great Quality Compared to Luxury Brands
Size: Size 3 (120 Count), Color: Just Peachy + Flower Power
We've been using Honest diapers for a few months now. We love the structure and design of the diapers - they feel like great quality for the price, especially when comparing to other more luxury diapers on the market. My daughter LOVES the designs, also, so that's a huge plus.
So far we haven't had any blow outs... fingers crossed it stays that way! She's able to sleep in them all night without needing a change (usually 11-11.5 hours) and the diaper stays intact with no leaking, etc. They aren't super thick so it makes it easy to put her in cute outfits. My girl is petite, so I do feel like the diaper is really high up her back but that doesn't seem to bother her any.
Overall, as long as she's happy and we're all sleeping well, I'm happy!

It leaves your skin SILKY SMOOTH!!!!
Scent: Original, Size: 18 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
**I was NOT COMPENSATED IN ANY WAY FOR MY REVIEW!!! This is TOTALLY my experience with this product!❤️
THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS! I was hesitant to buy it at first, but the salon I use Palm Beach Tan was running a sale & I thought "Why not give it a try?" Not only did it enhance & extend my tan, it made my dry skin feel nurshished & silky smooth, especially my legs from the knees down! Up until I started using THIS, NO MATTER HOW GREAT THE LOTION MIGHT BE, I would wake up in the morning with dry skin! UGH!!!
NOT ANYMORE AFTER USING THIS! THIS LOTION, WHETHER TANNING OR NOT IS NOW MY ONLY GO TO LOTION!
It doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky or "weighted" down at all! It absorbs quickly, living my skin feeling like young, youthful, silky smooth skin!
You absolutely CANNOT go wrong with this lotion or any of the other Hempz Line lotions! If you want soft, silky skin without that normal icky lotion feeling, YOU GOTTA TRY THIS! 😊
