To be honest, I love having a stack of books at my bedside, just waiting to be read. Sometimes, I have a few going at the same time. (not as confusing as it sounds) With summer, I love it even more ~ a book or two in my bag with a chance to steal some reading time at the pool or beach. Below is my list. My homework, so to speak. And, to be honest, again, I have already read a few.
1. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
2. Mitten Strings for God by Katina Kenison
3. Breaking Night by Liz Murray
4. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
5. Parisian Chic by Sophie Gachet
6. A Classic! (yet to be decided)
What are you reading this summer sister?

Happy Birthday America & Grace
1. Happy Birthday Grace! My firecracker, red/white/blue, flag-a-flying girl. You are ten. I love you with all of my heart & I thank my lucky stars for the gift of you in my life. xo
2. A few quotes {of course} from the author of The Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson.
"In matters of style, swim with the current;
In matters of principle, stand like a rock."
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work,
the more I have of it."
3. Today is the Cranford Firecracker Four Miler. It is a festive run - lots of red, white & blue attire. People line the course with cups of water, squirts of water from their garden hoses, and sprinklers. My friend & I are running it for our second year..her husband and my Grace are joining us. Wish us luck!
{apologies for no Photo Friday or any photo -- the computer seems to have a cold or something like that. Hope to fix it soon.)
