Life: Happy 4th of July to all my American readers! I am still getting used to my new home and the workings of WordPress. So far, so good. I hope everyone was notified of the change or updated their readers. The weather has been rather unpleasant and I am looking forward to the festivities on Monday, well to be honest, mainly the funnel-cakes.
Family Update: The summer is rapidly passing by. All of my children are now driving, time just keeps speeding up. Our dear friend has not been doing well this week but refused to see a doctor or go to hospital, I have been keeping an eye on him while the boys fish. Needless to say I accomplished far less reading than I would have liked, but sometimes one must set aside ones plans. Life is precious and is gone all too soon.
Saturday Night: Everyone was home! We ordered pizza rented movies and had a wonderful time just being silly.
Read and Reviewed: This week I spent a lot of time with the boys and our sick friend. My reading was less than I had hoped. I did manage to read and review 10 books. Unfortunately there were a few I was unable to get to. I do hope you check out my reviews, some of the best books I have read this year I had the privilege to read last week. I shall, as usual, list all the reviews I read this past week on Monday with links. Do not want to wait until Monday? They are all up and as usual I love comments.
So what will I be reading? I am reading the book I was planing to read last Sunday, The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory.
Happy Reading and please feel free to leave comments or suggestions.

I hope you have a happy and safe holiday!
I don’t know how kids grow up so darn fast! Our son just finished college and there’s no way I’m old enough to have a child that old!
My oldest is looking at colleges and I cannot believe soon he will not be in the house every day. I know this year will go by far too slowly for him and far too quickly for me. Happy 4th of July!
Jennifer, I love that your “slow” week still exceeds mine! lol
I’m sorry about your friend…there’s nothing that brings our priorities into line more than friend and family sadness.
I hope you have a fabulous Fourth.

I had 4 other books I really, really wanted to read this past week but such is life. Our friend is very illl, but does fairly well and refuses treatment. He wants to enjoy the time he has and it is a struggle at times to honour his decisions, especially since he is only 46.
I still have that book to mail you, I thought it had been mailed long ago, it had not. *hanging my head in shame* It will go out Tuesday. Wishing you a safe and happy 4th!
