I can hardly believe we're into April already. We enjoyed those lighter evenings on our road trip - so much more time to enjoy the sites and sounds of Vicksburg (Mississippi) and New Orleans (Louisiana). :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650193963974000786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-1738288545371569032017-04-02T22:50:08.468+01:002017-04-02T22:50:08.468+01:00It looks like you've been doing some really lo...It looks like you've been doing some really lovely things.

Her comment as she entered was "I've come to see what I missed" ! I also found amongst my maternal gran's photos some a photo of her with words to a past boyfriend on them.

I had our trip [2010] 'brag book' [nowadays it's prob been rebranded as a traveller's note book!!!] out & was having a wonderful time re-remembering!<br />As far as reading.... I don't really 'do' history.... I'm re-reading Ngaio Marsh, detective woman [NZ] writer - contemporary of Agatha Christie and equally famous at the time...but I'm prob talking Oil to Arabs, Miss Librarian...anyways, can't go past her whodunnits....so that's what I'm sinking into.....Lizzy Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635794099699316625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-30219751634839338662017-03-31T19:03:58.062+01:002017-03-31T19:03:58.062+01:00Well, the tunic and dress are of a lovely fabric, ...Well, the tunic and dress are of a lovely fabric, so I hope the shortening works out well. I'm always glad to see the titles of new books. I read Farewell to Arms so many years ago, that I wonder if I'd recognize any of it if I reread it now. I'll add Golden Hills to my list, but it will be awhile. We visited a fabulous independent book store in Nashville (co-owned by Ann Patchett, one of my favorite authors) and I came out with a bag full of books. None of them were familiar to me except one who's review I had read the previous day. That's a rule I have in a book store. Stick to the recommended titles and buy only what's new to you. I've read a bit of all of them, and am quite sure the recommendations were good ones.

Hope the shortening of the dress does the trick. As for reading I haven't had anything on the go for awhile now but yesterday I came across a fw books I totally forgot I had so think I'll be picking up one of them later today or tomorrow. A dull rainy day does make me feel I need to curl up (as much as I can do that) and read a book.Gail Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924951365775210946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-69605192040225310512017-03-31T16:40:26.363+01:002017-03-31T16:40:26.363+01:00TNSSO will love her shortened dress, who wouldn...TNSSO will love her shortened dress, who wouldn't?

I guess this is why we're friends. I've been drawn to The New Garconne too -- the Spufford book is one I keep looking for in the library catalogue -- I considered hunting out Testament of Youth this week aaaaannnd ... I just bought a black (OK, so not navy but ...) and white checked tunic/dress on Monday. <br /><br />I'm currently reading No, Wait. Yep. Definitely Still Hate Myself - a long poem - by Robert Fitterman in which he apparently compiled lots of lines he found on blogs! At the moment it reminds me a little of Hamlet meets Catcher in the Rye meets the inside of my own head on stressful days! It's a library book and I'm currently debating whether to buy a copy ... <br /><br />Have a lovely weekend. xJulie Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606220227331834682noreply@blogger.com
