I know it's only the beginning of June, however, once June is here that means summer to me! We just had a wonderful weather weekend! These last two days were two of the few great days we get in the year; perfect! Sunshine, not too warm, not too cold, breezy but not too breezy, no bugs - just perfect! Let's hope we get some more days like this!
Well, here I am again - blogging! It's been a while since I've blogged and I'm sorry! As you know, I usually blog in the morning at work before I punch in. Lately, my computer at work has not let me get into the blog so I can't do it then. Also, since the weather is nice, I walk to the "L" and don't get to work that early. (I truly like my walk in the morning; exercise, thinking, and just enjoying the beautiful quiet morning.) So, circumstances have prevented me from blogging at work and I'm too lazy to do it at home! But here I am!
I've been doing a lot of reading lately. I just finished the last "Grey" book; Fifty Shades of Freed. I can't say how much I loved all three books. I wasn't sure I would like them but got Fifty Shades of Grey from the library and was hooked. My son's girlfriend, Joanne, loaned me the other two and I couldn't read them fast enough. Very good and not as much "Mommy Porn" as my son says, as I thought. I do recommend this series.
I also read the first book of the Nora Roberts "Bride" series, Vision in White. I loved it and can't wait to get #2 of the series of 4. Another Nora Roberts book I read was The Last Boyfriend. Again, another great book series which I loved. I can't get enough Nora Roberts. I also read The Witness by Nora Roberts - it was a page turner for sure! Now I'm reading the new Oprah Book of The Month - Wild. So far so good!
Watched a movie last night, We Bought A Zoo. Again, I got it from the library (see Tom, I am saving money!) It really was a cute movie. I enjoyed it and cried too! Recommended!
So, since there's no knitting on Sunday now for the summer, I've been doing a lot of quilting. I finished a doll quilt for Brigitte's granddaughter, Audrey. It is very cute if I must say so myself.
I'm now working on my last almost done quilt; Soduko. I'm putting on the binding and will post a pic once it's completed. I found a great new quilt shop in Arlington Heights; Quilters Destination. I went there today and bought some new patterns and a pattern book to make a new special quilt...haven't totally decided on the pattern but will let you know as soon as I do.Well, that's it for now. Tomorrow night is my knitting class at Woolly Lamb. Maybe some day I will complete the Maggie vest I'm working on on Mondays!
Have a wonderful Monday and remember; don't wish the week away because you're just wishing your life away! (Easier said than done!)
