Happy Independence Day

Five years ago I was in Maine to help our daughter plan her wedding. One morning I walked to the beach and passed by this building. I think there’s at least one story here, don’t you? It’s one of my favorite photos of Americana.

Happy Independence Day

My son made the pine cone turkey when he was a Cub Scout about twenty years ago. It always has a place of honor at our Thanksgiving table 🙂

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

Another week, another foot of snow. Since most of the country experienced snow over the past seven days I won’t show a photo of my area. It does look especially beautiful in places that don’t usually get snow: here, here, and here.

Hubby and I saw the movie Valentine’s Dayyesterday. The cast is a Who’s Who list of Hollywood stars with a few generations represented. We thought it was mildly funny. I’d give it a B-.

One of the dogs helped me unwrap one of my gifts – Jhumpa Lahiri’s Unaccustomed Earth.

I hope you all received lots of books!

Happy Birthday, Jane Austen

December 16, 2008July 24, 2012 Mary Holidays

The folks over atJane Austen Today are celebrating Jane’s birthday with a wonderful gift: an audio-book of one of her novels (unabridged, of course). All you have to do is leave a comment on their post stating why you enjoy reading or viewing Jane Austen by December 31st, and you will be eligible for a drawing for one of the audios. An irresistible opportunity. Good luck!
