READERS UNITED

It is a really beautiful day today.  Just right temp and a nice breeze. 

DonnaM, Those are really pretty pics of the house.  Love the one with the mountain.  I love the library that I go to because they have nearly all the books I want.  Sometimes it takes a month after new release to finally get the new ones in but they get them.  The ones I want that they don't really get are harlequin.  They get some but not authors I read.

Donna/Sandi,  I am the same with regards to swimming.  I was taken to lessons but as an older child so I was timid about the water.  Learned to float and can paddle my way to the edge in an emergency...if I were to fall in!  My sister learned fast.  Like a fish.  Then my parent put a pool in when she was in 2nd or 3rd grade so she would swim all the time.  Too bad my parents lost there home recently or she could have access to it for Gavin. 

Sandi,  Gavin was getting therapy for speech for only about 2 months just before he turned 3 in February.  They would come to the house to do it.  Then they had to stop at his birthday and he had to be evaluated further by special education department.  Well, they said he didn't qualify.  He is below average in speech and a couple other things but not low enough to be put in speech classes!  What?  He was having so hard of a time being understood.   They said he doesn't appear to have autism but if my sister wanted she could have him tested by someone for that.  He can be reevaluated for speech in 6 months so my sister is going to do that in August.  He is very bright and funny, lovable, mischevious, etc.  I don't think he has autism but I know there are levels of that.  He understands everything and he is talking much more now but not anywhere near like he should.  Most of the time we understand him but there are times we can't and he gets so frustated.  I hope they take him in this time because we are concerned he will fall so far behind. 
I loved book 1 of the Blackdagger books.  Also love book 2 and 3 then was disappointed in 4 but still good.  Now there are 8 books and so much happening I'm surprised I am keeping up.  Your weekend sounds fun...books at cheap prices and a meal you didn't cook or pay for is always good!

Amanda,  Yikes, that must have been so scary.  That is what I know G will do...just jump right in.  I can't believe the "lifeguard" told you to save her.  Happy Birthday to Amelia!

I've started reading If You Know Her by Shiloh Walker.  This is the final books so I'll find out who the killer is but I think I know.

Have a good Wednesday night.
