I'm back! Back from the land of forest fires and smoke--Montana.

Reading: I read a book by one of my favorite writers, Susan Minot. I love her writing style. The book, Rapture, was weird though. I don't know if I recommend it. Monkeys and Evening are her best novels. Lust and other stories is a collection of short stories and is also very good.

I am also working of Bel Canto, this month's bookclub selection. Interesting so far, though I am only about 20 pages into it.

Eating: I haven't been cooking for the last week. Grandma and Grandpa were cooking for me and the aunts and cousin were taking me out to eat. Lots of yummy food, all week long.

Gardening: Sad, sad, sad little flowers.
