August Accomplishments

This month, I had a couple of big things going on. The biggest being the weekend in Indianapolis and taking Bonnie Hunter classes. When I got back, I was in a lull, but I think that having Becca in for the weekend gave me just the kick into gear that I needed! Now, if I can just keep that momentum going for the National Sewing Month!!

Books read

1. Kalahari Typing School for Men by Alexander McCall Smith
2. These High Green Hills by Jan Karon
3. The Full Cupboard of Life by Alexander McCall Smith
4. In the Company of Cheerful Ladies by Alexander McCall Smith

I am still really enjoying the Mitford series books by Jan Karon and the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. I have already requested the next books in both of the series from my library. I want to know what happens in them, but I am trying to make them last a while so that I can savor the story lines! They are just that good!!!
