Happy 4th of July..too bad we can not have fireworks (too dry over here)

but to still get in the spirit, here are lots of beautiful pictures via Pinterest!!

Summer time and the livings easy

I have no clue why I am excited about summer this year..

I have never been a fan of the 100+ degrees it gets over here, or the sweltering humidity.

For some reason though, I have hopeful wishes for a sunburn free, ice tea drinking, porch swinging, swimming pool dipping, wonderful summer!!

 Here is to a wonderful summer!!!

The joy of books

I discovered this video via 'Her Library Adventures'

My husband/brother/mother/and grandfather have tried to convince me to switch from hard back books to a kindle...

I tell them to same thing every time..kindle does not have the smell of a book, the adventures this book had been through, the creased pages, the coffee stains, the hard cover that is peeling from age..ect..

This video describes exactly why I do not have a kindle, why I prefer to go out and buy a real book..

Vacation video
