I love to hear what other people are reading. Some of the best books I’ve read were recommendations that I might otherwise not have considered.

Three things I want/need to do in the next few days: Finish writing and editing an article I’m working on for a magazine. Bake bread. Work on flowerbeds. I know this isn’t much of a post and that I haven’t been doing a very good job blogging lately. However, I’m going no mail on my…
A New Look…
I was trying to figure out why at least two people were unable to leave comments on my blog (unsuccessfully, I might add) and decided to change my template. Like the new color? I really want a customized look but I’ll need to get my daughter over here to help me with that. I know,…
