End of May

Life has been busy.  It happens.  The kitchen remodel isn't going as planned.  We are doing some work and for that I am very grateful.  It's hard to get everything because the person that was due to remodel the kitchen and fix our deck got hurt.  So he can't do anything for us right now.  It makes me sad, because I was really counting on it, but what can I do.  *sigh*
I probably shouldn't be writing at all today because I'm in a pouty mood.  I was good for most of the day and then came home to realize something I just found, was lost to me again.  It makes me sad.
Though what makes me happy is my Bear.  I look at him sometimes and I just can't believe how overwhelmed I feel when I see him.  How much I love him.  I know this isn't my usual type of post, but I'm not in my usual kind of mood.  I love my Bear so much.  He just takes my breath away sometimes. I tell him these mushy things and most times he rolls his eyes at me.  He gave me the sweetest card on Mother's Day. It was the nicest card I have ever gotten.  I really do just love that Bear so much.  I tell him every day.  It makes losing something so much easier. 

Trying something new: A Book Review

I read.  I read a lot.  It's not a surprise to people when I tell them I've just earned my BA degree in English.  Because I read.  I read a lot.  I have favorite authors and books.  One of my favorite authors is Alice Hoffman.  I've just finished reading her most recent book The Story Sisters and I reviewed it on Goodreads.  Here it is:

The Story Sisters by Alice Hoffman


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I had bought this book a year ago.  I had a lot to read for other purposes (classes) so I kept it in the car and read it in pieces.  For me, it started off slow, but as I was drawn more and more into the World of the Story Sisters I couldn't put the book down.  The Story Sisters is heartbreakingly beautiful.  I recommend it to everyone, not just Alice Hoffman fans.  Ms. Hoffman never ceases to amaze me with her beautiful stories.  I enjoyed it very much and I think my friend will too.
