Books and blogging.......


Nothing beats sticking your nose into a really good book.  
Summer reading days have arrived.......and I may have to take a bit of a blog break.


Instead of sitting here posting about life and playing with photos, though I really hope you enjoy what I write and photograph, I feel the need to sit in a favorite spot - front porch, gazebo, love seat in the bedroom - quietly turning pages and reading other people's powerful words.


I'll be off traveling before I know it.  Prior to packing that darned old suitcase yet again (actually I've just bought a new one which looks less weary and worn), I need to focus on some reading..............that much too tall pile of books is calling out to me.  I'm also in the midst of cleaning out my book shelves which include a ton of scrap booking paraphernalia - and that's a job and a half!

If I don't post for a little while know I'll be back soon.....it's called addiction!  Seems I always have something to say and share, I know I'd find it hard to quit blogging.  Meanwhile dear friends, continue to enjoy Summer wherever you are and whatever you're doing..............

.........and don't forget to stop by and join in my guessing game on this post no later than July 10. Come on, I'm loving your guesses.
