Books

A cool cloudy morning for a my walk today. I went around the lake.

I listened to the rest of The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare by Lilian Jackson Brown, read by George Guidall while I cleaned the kitchen. These books are a bit on the silly side but I enjoy listening to them. This was book number 8 in the series.

I also finished reading Daniel X by James Patterson which I didn't like at all.

I only kept reading it because it was just a little book. Its about Daniel who is an alien hunter from outer space who is trying to the save the world from other aliens who are trying to take over the world. It was totally unbelievable!!! The book was more like a short story. I usually like James Patterson but this was really bad.

I have put the new book, The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown on reserve at the library. I'm number 235 on the list.
I'm now down to number 106 for South of Broad by Pat Conroy.

Today is Wednesday and my knitting group night which is called Sip and Knit. I left home early again and had supper there too. This is the forth time I've gone now and I'm remembering some names. I've sat with different people each time I've gone. Everyone is very friendly and I really enjoy the night of knitting and talking. I'm working on my next ripple afghan.

Here are a couple of pictures I took this evening.

As you can see we take up the whole back of Panera's.

I just got home a little while ago.
I'm off to watch a bit of television and have some chocolate chip cookies and milk for my snack.

I hope you enjoyed your Wednesday.

A good example is the best sermon.

A package arrives in the mail.

Started my day as usual with my morning walk. I'll be starting off in the dark from now on. That's one thing I don't like about this time of year. I didn't walk on any paths today. Walked the sidewalks. Nice for a change.

I wonder why with all the nice sidewalks that we have, some people still like to walk in the street.
With everyone so distracted while driving I prefer to be safer on the sidewalks!

I stopped off at the library on my way to the commissary this morning. I just dropped a book off and left right away. Didn't even look at any books because if I did I just know I'd find more to read. :-)
I didn't need all that much at the commissary so I got to go in the express lane and there was no wait at all. There are some self-check lanes but I stay away from them. I don't have much luck with them!!

The nicest thing came in the mail for me today. I was lucky enough to win a give-a-way from Kim at happy@home. In the box was a cook book for Fall with lots of wonderful recipes in it which I look forward to trying. Also a cute little squirrel holding a couple of acorns which are little salt and pepper shakers. A little candle with the scent of pumpkin spice was also included with a lovely card.
Thanks so much Kim!!
If you have not read Kim's blog please stop by there. She posts wonderful pictures of her beautiful home and is such a happy upbeat blogger. I enjoy her blog very much and I'm happy to call her a friend. :-)

Our weather has turned quite cool and windy so I couldn't sit out on my deck today. Though I did find time to read, I missed sitting on the deck.

Never did get to cleaning the kitchen today - that will be the first thing on my list for tomorrow.

Just finished eating those left over ribs from yesterday with a salad for supper.

I'll have a nice quiet evening at home. Reading, a little television, knitting and I think I'll have some ice cream tonight for my snack. I have some of my favorite which as most of you know is chocolate chip. :-)

I hope you had a good Tuesday and you enjoy the rest of your day.

Karen :-)
