So, someone had to remind me it was Labor Day today....this is because, as far as I can tell, its a normal day here in Kansas...Brett's working until very late ( may not get to see him at all) and I'm doing positively nothing. Yup. Rock on.
I dont know if you've noticed but I'm pretty much of the obsessive personality type. Thus why I own all ten seasons of Friends, why, after watching all of Firefly in a short amount of time, I had to then watch most of Buffy and Angel and all ofDr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog ( if you haven't seen this particular gem, you should...)-all the shows Joss Whedon has ever done...its why, as a child, I read every book by Lucy Maud Montgomery ( expect the ones that had witches in them, those were not allowed) .....every book by Maud Hart Lovelace, and all The Babysitters Club Books ( something I'm not proud to admit)...and countless other authors that I fell in love with.
Anyway, it seems only natural that in the past year I read several books on Burma, several books on Autism and I just finished yet another book by David McCullough who I feel in love with many years ago but I was reminded of a couple of days ago because of the John Adams series...
Ok, so I was delighted to find Mornings on Horseback at the local library ( I've decided to forgive and forget the Fort Riley library and go straight to the Manhattan public library which is not half bad ( only half is good, though).) because one of the books I brought from home was a book I read years ago and put on my Favorite Books List back in 2005, which really, in looking back is the favorite books of my childhood...but that's beside the point. Anyway, I brought with me, to re-read was Theodore Roosevelt's Letters to His Children. So I figured this book-but a wonderful writer-would be just the perfect precursor. And it turned out great! In fact, I am more excited than ever to re-read these letters to his children after reading in such detail about his relationship with his own father and the important part it played in making him the man he became to his own children....anyway, all very good. And I recommend with two enthusiastic thumbs up, Mornings on Horseback...you won't be able to put it down. Promise.
In other news, I'm a tad melancholy today, but if anything I'm glad that its finally September. I'm a big fan of time going by quickly at the moment....

I am amazed at how well you are doing and all the projects you are undertaking (that means books that you are reading). It must be the compulsive part of your personality...don't think I have that part. I usually just sit and stare at the computer screen and play those word games.
Really, I am proud of you. Give Brett a hug for me when you do get to see him.
Montgomery wrote a book with witches? Why have I never heard of this? Have my books been censored for me by the Christ Episcopal library?
