If you know me, you know I love to read. Every day, my favorite time is to read an hour (or more) before bed and you can go thru a LOT of books - even more if they are so good you must read past bed time!!
AND I keep track of what I read! Since 1985!! On an excel sheet! Before you click me off because I'm crazy - I started keeping track because I rate them 1 - 5 and every year I look back at my 5* books and see if their author has written more. Don't worry - I'm a library girl. Thank goodness! I love our Brookings library. They are the best!
Of course, now-a-days all you have to do is Google an author and you will get notices of all their books and anyone else they consider is like them! Back then, not so much.
Favorite books lately:
- Anything by Brad Parks Interference; The Girl Next Door
- The Book of Lost Names by Kristen Harmel
- The Mother In Law by Sally Hepworth
- French Braid by Anne Tyler
You can always look back on this blog to the January entries. I usually have 2 year's summaries and always include the best books that year.
If it's not too foggy - salmon season is full speed ahead. Every day there is 20 -30 little boats at a time in the mouth of the harbor getting those salmon headed up stream. There have even been some tuna (mixed up apparently) caught. It's very exciting when our commercial boats are headed out. Horns - get out of our way!! You talking to me??? People who fish in little boats are crazy!
Here is the September gallery hanging in our living room. And yes, I did clean the top of the bins to get to avoid a junky picture! C, a good friend from the MidWest is coming this week. She'll recognize all of these wall quilts. She's the one that made me add "DS" to the schoolhouse. We laughed and laughed at the smoke rings behind the school.
And C started the invasion of the Sunflower Quilts in Lincoln NE. Every quilter that saw her quilt, made one! G made the same design in reds for a poinsettia - gorgeous! I also have a sunflower king size quilt - this wall quilt is a remake of the king-size pillow sham. (It looked like a coffin cover!!!)
We saw this Red Wagon quilt and loved it. But we both lamented that the applique or the piecing was too hard ... so I did the piecing for both quilts and C did the applique for both of us. One of my favorites!
So after C sees these, we will put up the Halloween quilts. In fact, I have a whole list of what we should do! Visit and walk the beaches is on the top!
More information next time.
