Nice and Toasty

By -
House warming party #1 was a success. I spent all last week prepping for said party... Cleaning, decorating, shopping, weeding, mowing, stripping (wallpaper! you gutter minders!), painting, hauling, pruning, etc... The food was simple, sloppy joes, chips, crudites, (that's French for veggie tray) and cupcakes. There was a great turn-out of some of my favorite people. It rained on and off, but the house kept us dry. There were conversations in every corner of the house. I love seeing a full house. People were kind and generous with gifts and foods and well wishes. I am blessed. Yes Yes!

Today I am laying in the hammock, reading and relaxing. Even Marius is pooped out and needs to come down from his party high.

I will spend the better part of my last 2 weeks off, visiting with friends, reading, writing, cooking, and celebrating some birthdays.
July is quickly coming to a close and I want to make it count.

Bummer. . . I wish we could have made it--we actually almost did, but then the storms started and Jakob was kind of stressed. We will hopefully meet in person soon. Your yard looks totally cute!!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
