May I Recommend ...

I haven't changed the thing at the end of my entry that says what book I'm reading, but I just finished reading that book a few minutes ago. My sister has been telling me for years to read Fannie Flagg, but I only read Standing in the Rainbow a few weeks ago and now Can't Wait to Get to Heaven, and listen: read these books. They were just wonderful, warm reads. Now I have to read Welcome to the World, Baby Girl, which I think is actually the first of the three -- they have characters and settings in common -- but I just loved this one. Should I ever got another cat, I must name it Elner. If I get two cats, I must name them Elner and Sonny.

K made dinner for me again. Really, I should have put that kid on W8 Watchers ten years ago. Of course, she weighed 95 pounds ten years ago, if that, since she was 14 and a rail (although she was a rail carrying a 32D around in front of her.)

Lo and behold, the other one found her car registration (in case you were still wondering.) It seems that when it arrived in the mail, she forgot to look inside and take out the part that has to stay in the car; she just filed the whole thing, envelope and all. We may get that car inspected yet.

So, the nephew's wedding is coming up on September 12, a Friday night, and now we have been invited to the rehearsal dinner, which is certainly lovely, but that, of course is on a Thursday night, a good 45 minutes or more north of here. I can't help but wonder if they didn't quite think this all through. K has a class that night, and R can't get home from work in time to go. The Hubs is also working that Thursday and Friday, and will join us for the wedding after work, but can't make it to the Thursday thing. I'm taking that Friday off as a personal day, and I'll go up to the rehearsal dinner with the Sibs and her hubby. We have hotel rooms there for Friday night, but it seems crazy to stay there Thursday night too, just for this.

In other news, I got no other news. It was a perfect summer day here today, no humidity, crisp breeze. It was like waking up in the morning on the shore of Squam Lake.
