I love to read. It's my passion. I have a reading room with lots of shelves and books and a comfy chair and loveseat. It has double doors that lead to our screened in porch and it's heaven. I also collect movie scores and listen to them while I am reading. I love all sorts of books and look forward to people recommendations and to making new...more »

    Hi. I just saw your avatar, and wanted to come comment. It's a fabulous picture! Did you take it? I assume it's one of your own cats? (You're profile says you have three.)

    Hey Marie! That's so exciting that you get to see your nephew's football games! Does he live close? I used to love to go to Greg's games. They just started a football program last year where Greg teaches and he's an assistant football coach. I've only gotten to see one of the games--in the absolute pouring rain--but it was fun anyway. Won't see any this year, but we get a report from Robin after the game.
    We've got someone coming to put the hurricane shutters back up this evening. Greg and RJ took them down last Monday when they got here. We got gas for the car and gas for the generator and plenty of food, so I guess we're in good shape.
    I'm reading Dear Neighbor, Drop Dead which I expected just to be total brain candy, but it's actually turned out to be pretty good. Lots of humor.
    A tropical storm with The Ladies should be interesting! Cuppy is afraid of thunder and will undoubtedly spend all the time under the covers. That's were she's spent a lot of her time since we got here--she doesn't like any people beside me and Clark.

    Hello Marie,

    I am doing well, just trying to make time to read. I thought I never would start the Twilight series by Meyers but I am going to give it a try. I see so many readers have this on their shelf.

    Take care,
    Warren

    Hi Marie. How are you doing? Are you enjoying the summer? Things are good here. Are you watching the Olympics this evening? I think I'll probably watch a lot of it this weekend.

    What are you reading now?

    Good morning back!! Life has been busy here. I spent most of last week getting hubby ready for his Australian trip. He left on Sat. This week, I've been enjoying reading in a quiet house, & I'm loving that when I clean, it stays that way longer than 15 minutes! =) But now I'm missing him & wishing it was Sat. already & he was on his way home.

    When I hear that football practice has started, I know that means the end of summer is near. *sigh* Our weather has been nice & then yucky & then even more yucky. LOL Today it is raining, so that's nice for a change.

    I owe you an apology for not responding to your email from last week (Week before? Oh dear!!!) Forgive me, please. I guess going away for a week & then returning to get Gary ready jumbled everything for me & I completely forgot. Your pictures looked like you were having so much fun. Wish I could go try those shots w/ y'all!!! But I'm a wimp & usually have to sip mine - LOL.

    Facebook - oh, I've been too busy to get too involved in that. I also have to admit that I'm holding back since I'm sure I could become addicted. I already need a 12 step program for here!

    Have a great day!!!!

    How are you, Marie? What's up in your part of the world? Have people gotten back to normal now that the rains have stopped? What about your carpet; did it ever dry out enough?

    Hello! I just got back from vacation where I did nothing but sit by the pool and read 3 books. Now back to reality. Hope all is well in your little corner of the world.

    I really liked it! Waiting for payday so that I can order the next 2!! I'm also going to read the Isolde trilogy that she wrote.
    Have you seen the list of Starbuck's that are closing? None of the 2 around me are affected *sigh of relief*, but lately I've been getting iced capp's from the gas station next to where I work...they're only .85. Not nearly as good, but until gas prices return to normal (??), I'll be skipping Starbucks :(
    How are things up your way? Ya'll dried out yet?

    Hey! Thanks for the note! The packing and living in a house with little furniture is getting me down, but I'm doing okay. Well, most of the time anyway! I've been trying to do lots of reading to escape, hiding out in my sewing room, after I tell people I'm going up there to pack, etc. But Greg was up there yesterday moving boxes for me and I'm afraid my secret is out now--there's very little left in the room, nothing more to pack, so I'm going to have to find a new hiding/reading place!

    Glad you're getting to spend time on your porch--wish I was there with you, reading and chatting. Wouldn't we have a good time?!!
