Recommended Reading

Here are a few books I came across while on vacation that looked particularly interesting. I am going to be checking out Amazon.com pronto!

Books and Blooms

Queen Anne's lace grows like weeds around here, expect it's pretty. So I decided to picked a big bouquet of it for the dining room table.
The purple mum came from church last Sunday. Our pastor announced that he was passing out "Gar-zany-olas" to all of the mom's in honor of Mother's Day. But when we started laughing, he realized that he had made a mistake. Which flustered him. Which was even funnier. Then some sweet lady in the back row (my bff to be exact) helped him out with the real name, chrysanthemum. It is easy to see how he could confuse the two names, it probably happens all the time!

As for the "book" part of this post: I say let the summer reading begin! I am flying out to Spring Market this afternoon (will I see you there??) and this little book will be helping me pass the in-flight hours. And the lay-over hours. And whatever other hours may need to be passed.


It looks pretty funny. For example, there is a chapter called "Praying for Answers" and the very next chapter is called "Hello, Unexpected". Or how about "Getting organized" followed by "Sometimes the mice show up anyway". Yeah, I am thinking this is going to be a good book.

TTFN.

Summer Reading

The summer's reading list:

1- Evenings at Five, Gail Godwin- just picked it up at the library because it was small and looked interesting.
2- She Flew the Coop, Michael West- I have been hearing great things about this author!
3- The Help, Katheryn Stockett- my friend Theresa recommended (and lent) this one.
4- Spider Web, Earlene Fowler- because I am a Bennie Harper fan.
5- Spoken From the Heart, Laura Bush- one of America's truly lovely women (and the book was a b-day gift from my bff!)
6- Leadership, Rudy Giuliani- a life long optimist and a great leader (the bff strikes again!!)
7- Jonah, Priscilla Shirer- my super-great summer Bible study.
8- Mixt Salads, Andrew Swallow- because they look and sound yummy.
9- Weddings: organizing your perfect day, Alison Price- hmmm, what's this??
