A Wonderful Day

Today was a cool, drizzly, cloudy day in the Hill Country -- perfect for staying in and getting things done that don't get done when it's pretty outside. I (1) worked my way through a mountain of paperwork (does everyone else have as much paper as we do; or are we just special?); (2) got caught up on my mending -- hems out, buttons off, etc. (I find that I'll let mending sit for 2 months and, once I decide to tackle it, it takes me less than 1/2 hour!); (3) bussed the trailer; (4) watched some TV; (5) started a new book; and (6) totally enjoyed hanging out with my husband and my doglets. All in all, a wonderful day!

Things I've Enjoyed Reading Lately

"The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson -- This is a true story of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. It is true crime and history which reads like a novel. I was fascinated with the story of the Fair from inception to conclusion; and horrified at the crimes being committed at the same time. I was also amazed at the people who attended, the products introduced there and the far-reaching implications of the Fair. This is a great read.
"Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruene -- This is a poignant tale of life with a train circus during the Depression years told by 93-year-old Jacob who was a vet with the circus. You will be entertained, appalled, educated, and treated to a feel-good ending. I definitely recommend this read.
"Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett -- this was a re-read for me; I read it when it first came out in 1989 and proclaimed then that it was the best book I'd ever read. I just learned that Follett was coming out with a sequel so I decided to read this one again so I would be up to speed with the characters when I read the sequel. I still think it's the best book I've every read.
"Do You Want To Know a Secret?" by Mary Jane Clark -- I picked this up accidently (thinking I was picking up a Mary Higgins Clark) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a page-turner and I absolutely was shocked at the ending!
