Favorite Reads

Every now and then I go though a purge phase where I just want to simplify and then simplify some more.  I started this time with my books.  I donated a few to the library.  Even though I know I’ll never read them again and they’ll probably just sit on a shelf or in a box somewhere, I still like to look at them and remember the story line and my life at that time.  Here are a few of my favorite reads that I still have.  There are a few that I still wish I had in my modest collection like, The Lovely Bones, A Widow for a Year, The Prodigal Summer, The Time Traveler’s Wife (l-o-v-e-d that book – no clue what happened to it) and the Cold Sassy Tree (my dog ate that one – seriously!).  So until I’m ready to simplify again I’ll hang onto these.

My husband and I decided to break out some of our old books that we kept from our childhood to share with our kids.  The book are showing signs of love once again and they are happy ;o)

To The Beach

For the past 30-some years my husband’s family and their friends have been religiously vacationing in one spot – Caswell Beach, NC.  I find that pretty amazing.  It is a beautiful beach on Oak Island facing due south. To the east we could see Bald Head Island and the Old Baldy lighthouse.  Since the beach front house we stayed at conveniently (almost too conveniently) had a pool and a game room, our kids would make a b-line for the pool as soon as we stepped out the back door.  When they were finished with the pool, they would scoot over to the game room door and bounce there until we would come open it. Actually making it down to the beach proved to be an impossible task.  The term “beach vacation” was not in their dictionary only the word “FUN.” And they thankfully had lots of it!
