Surprisingly fewer now that my goods are packed and not being unpacked until I buy a home! But another one of the Scottish writer Alexander McCall Smith, The Charming Quirks of Others, is being read from the local (mobile) library at the moment. Just can't go without having soem books to read in the house. I have a soft spot for his Ladies Detective Agency stories also!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698343129217681652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-76716174098972885212012-02-20T06:45:08.256-05:002012-02-20T06:45:08.256-05:00I usually have a stack of garden magazines to drea...I usually have a stack of garden magazines to dream by, Mother Earth News to help me improve on things, and a book.

I don't remember you traveling so much, but maybe you told me. Tell me again why all the travel - except for maybe the passion? I LOVE traveling, just haven't done as much as you. How fun the Australian trip seemed to be - I loved your Tasmanian photos!!<br /><br />Thank you for the lovely comment about my book - I miss you and it was so nice to hear from you - you made my evening come to such a nice ending. I love your wholesomeness and how you just make everyone you meet feel special.<br /><br />Big hug to you<br />Elizabeth :-)Elizabeth Maxsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301271156213625334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-61568938682499534012012-01-31T22:08:04.690-05:002012-01-31T22:08:04.690-05:00I just started Susan Hill's The Woman in Black...I just started Susan Hill's The Woman in Black.
