The Big Bed

Photo: The Big Bed

 ....While Larry is out of town, I snuggle under a blanket and read.
Sometimes, when it looks like that the world is crashing down onto us, 
you can escape into a book and forget what is happening outside your environment.
Prescription for today?
Find a good book and cuddle in for an hour.
Love you beyond the moon.

J'arrive! Here I am..... Time has gotten away from me today, and for the life of me, I do not know what has kept me so busy. Holly, my dearest cousin and friend, has shared BOOKS with me! THE READER was in a box filled with treasures. I did not know that it was an OPRAH book. It is quite interesting... I can almost FEEL the words. *** Tonight is breakfast for dinner. Sausage, biscuits, gravy and scrambled eggs. If I had written that prettier, you might have almost SMELLED the dinner. Have a lovely evening. Love you. Me

The Book

Larry bought me a charming book, filled with pages of home made paper. I shall carry it with me in France, sketching as I go, and at the end of the day, I will watercolor my sketches.
Today I did get a lot of work done....one of my projects being, painting the title page of my new book. The rest of the day was filled with creative moments, and hanging around my desk much to long..... Below, is the title page, filled with my sketching and paints. Please note the smear under the letter "R". I dragged black color when Lauren called me from CA. ( i should have used India Ink) Jami is here, and we shall go to a small Italian restaurant for happy hour and pizza, and then come home to watch the election returns. Goodness, I am starving! What a nice day. Love you, me.

Middlesex My New Book

It is good to be home.
Dinner in Georgetown, TX with Kim & Steve Broad
was perfection.
( At Nonna's)
Great wine, amazing food,
and the most wonderful of friends.

I am babysitting Ajax, the Boston terrier for a few days.
Today was beautiful and long,
I om off to cuddle and read.
Please note my current book and bookmark.
The bookmark is a long lost postcard
from dear sweet Joseph.
Mona with hidden eyes is wonderful!

HEY...Joseph.
Less than 6 weeks till I buy you a crepe in Paris.
Please hug Jackie for me....
I am exhausted.....I am off to read.
love you,
me.

Books and Lemon Bars

I made lemon bars this afternoon. While they were cooling, I went to Costco and bought a new book. A novel by Jennifer Haigh, titled THE CONDITION. It tempts me, but I have a few things to do before I settle in this evening, with a new book.

The lemon bars are cut. They cooled very fast and are sweet and simple to make.

Imagine, lemon bars, a cup of green tea...and a new book. Life is wonderful.

Love you.
