This was a month for super long books! I may not have read as many books as usual in the month of July, but I did read some excellent ones. I read 9 books, and got through 500 pages of another one that I quit reading halfway through. I've decided the world does not need […]
June was a fairly good reading month for me. Only one book knocked my socks off, but there were a few that I found quite enjoyable. I concentrated on lighter reading material this month. I haven't been in the mood for anything terribly literary or heavy. I felt like being entertained and these books mostly […]
The winner of my little contest this week to see if anybody was reading my posts is Claire! I swear I did the random number generator thing, but I have to admit she left me the kindest message: "I am a relatively new subscriber and was so thrilled to discover your blog a couple of […]
I was on vacation in May, so my reading suffered a bit as a result. I read a total of 11 books, 9 of which I will describe here. I began the month with a few books with heavier themes but later embraced books with a brighter focus, a trend which I think will continue […]

Many of you have told me how much you enjoy my book reviews, so I am going to try to post more of them. Today is Wednesday, so how about a What I'm Reading Right Now post? Most of the time I have three books going at once: one audiobook, one digital book on my […]
Well, it must be said that Eva takes after her daddy. She is a natural-born salesperson. That is her in the pink blow-up suit, with two more inhibited friends, selling Girl Scout cookies this past weekend in front of our local supermarket. Believe me, she attracted attention and the girls sold a boatload of cookies. […]
My husband and I took an excursion yesterday. We traveled about an hour to the nearest Target and the nearest Trader Joe's. Our home is in the Sierra Foothills and the nearest town with any sort of traditional shopping is Modesto, about 50 miles from us. Trader Joe's never disappoints, and we came home with […]
