Hello Friends,
Good morning. The sun is just breaking through the morning fog. Thank heavens it is going to be much cooler today. Yesterday, the first day of summer, lived up to summer heat! It was in the mid 90's & I was out running errands. Much to hot but I needed to do the shopping. I found a new book by Karen Rose a little bonus. :-) I don't know if I have dropped off her newsletter list or just had forgotten. I think the book was out previously in hard back but not sure. I love her writing, the crimes are devastating but the love story makes up for it, at least in her previous books. Guess I will have to check out her website.
The river in the picture above is the Smith River where I took pictures during my March trip but then there was snow! It is a beautiful place all along the river. Luckily there are enough places to pull over so I can indulge in taking pictures. There is one spot I've never been able to photograph but maybe someday I'll figure out where to stop to do that! Two branches of the river come together & it is so pretty. That spot was on the cover of Sunset Magazine a few years ago & I knew exactly where it was the minute I saw it!!
I am almost finished reading one of the Tell Harlequin books. It is okay! I should finish it later today as I think there are only about 20 pages or so left. After that I am going to choose one of the many books on my TBR shelf that I am itching to read!!! It has been kind of a dry spell with traveling, library books, Tell Harlequin!! I'm more than ready to sink my teeth into something. When I say "dry spell" I did do some reading but the books would not maybe have been my first choice. There are more books coming out that I want to acquire!!
Well, I need to go get something accomplished! It is 11:24 am in my time zone & I have yet to get dressed!! After a busy couple of days, guess I am just taking it easy. I did get out for a good walk this morning in the foggy coolness. To me that is the best time to walk. This time of year I get too hot to easy to walk later in the day. I mentioned the heat yesterday, today is suppose to be about 22 degrees cooler! That is our summer here, up & then down!! Amanda & Mary, I hope your heat spell isn't to bad or lasts to long.
Cady, have fun on your vacation. I would love to see that part of the states. Do you drive the 18 hours all in one swoop? I just never have traveled that way! Let us know how it goes. The summer school available to your kids sounds great. Since California is in such deep doo-doo financially the schools here are suffering. I think down the line it is going to be very hard for many of the students due to this.
Margie, I think your nephew sounds like a typical 3 year old boy. Full of vim & vigor, mischief, curiosity & more energy than any of us can imagine. :-) My mom always said when my girls were young that she wished she could bottle it & sell it. We could have made a fortune!!!
Mary, I am so glad to hear your ankle is much, much better. Having no pain makes life so much easier & better.
Sandi, naps are the best. I find that I frequently doze off in the afternoon when I sit down to read. The day after I got home from my trip it was super hot & I just could not keep my eyes open. I think it was a combination of the heat plus being tired from my travels. Now I am ready to get out to do something fun!! My grand kids will be down sometime in July but I can't wait until then.
Amanda! Did you get your book club choice read? Let us know. Are your enjoying the book club? I'm not good at analyzing a book. I just know I liked it or not!!
This is about all for now. I've babbled on long enough! Here is another picture of the Smith River. I love hearing the water. Same at the ocean, just listening to it is enjoyable.
Everyone have a wonderful day. Find time to read,
Donna M
