Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! Julia has a great post lined up for Monday! Meanwhile, everyone is welcome to chat in comments!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Looking forward to what everyone is doing, reading, or plans for summer.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading The Rolling Stones by Bob Spitz, he also wrote the bio of Julia Childs which was so engaging. Then later I'll try to figure out how to hang or where to put a hanging flower basket.
Looking up the Bob Spitz book now! I'm so enjoying Ella Risbridger's THE KITCHEN BOOK, her new cookbook which is, as always, as much a life book as a cookbook. Not available in the US until next February but can be ordered from Blackwell's in the UK with free shipping.
DeleteCongrats to Hank for winning the Mary Clark Award for All This Could Be Yours!
ReplyDeleteAw, so well deserved, and we are so thrilled for her!
DeleteAwwwww thank you! I have to admit it is very wonderful! And I am still floating…
DeleteWELCOME SUMMER ! I am
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading about your Summer travels and adventures ! Thank you Reds for the amazing and intriguing blogs that I look forward to so much ! You All Are The Best ! ( Mary E from VA )
Thank you, Mary E!
DeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI forgot about the new summer hours and just stumbled into JRW. Hi and bye!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn! Hope your move is going well!
DeleteHi Lynn! Xxx
DeleteI'm working my way through Mark Pryor's books featuring Hugo as suggested by the Reds.
ReplyDeleteHe is so good!
DeleteHope everyone is enjoying summer-what are you guys up to?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I'm trying out the Georgia Reads for America 250 reading challenge. It is composed of nonfiction books relating to our country's history. I will confess I am not a fan of nonfic because so much of it is either very dry or the book is thick enough to be a doorstop, so this is a real stretch for me. Luckily, there are a few well-written and engaging books on the book list that I have found enjoyable and have learned a lot. So this is a summer of reading stretching. How about you? Anything you're looking forward to this summer? -- Victoria
DeleteLook up books by Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough, both well know historians and have written extensively on different aspects of the US from presidents to the Wright brothers, baseball and other areas representing American history. Both Pulitzer Prize winners.
DeleteVictoria, what a great idea for a reading challenge. Do you get to pick the books or is there a list.
ReplyDeleteI can recommend Bob Spitz' book Dearie, The Remarkable Life of Julia Child.
There is a list of 13 books with various topics and reading levels. I am not a fan of history books (horrid high school Am. Hist. teacher), but was pleased to see that an attempt was made to be inclusive as to reader educational level as well as attention span. I find myself going back to the list when I'm brave and pulling out another title. -- Victoria
DeleteVictoria, sounds like someone did their homework in being inclusive to various types of readers. I assume you can choose a persons history rather than an event? I always find that reading about someone's history helps if I find them and their story interesting.
DeleteUnfortunately for Amer auto/bios I prefer British history!!
Hank, congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteDebRo
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! It was the biggest and best surprise, I have to say, and I still think about The moment they called my name. It was pretty great. You are so sweet to say so! Xxxx
DeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I'm traveling for graduations and retirement celebrations . . . .
Have so much fun! And congratulations to all!
DeleteI'm hoping our well traveled folks here can help with recommendations for things not to miss in Paris - including of course restaurants, coffee shops, new up and coming bookstores maybe, new galleries, trendy clothing stores or boutiques...
ReplyDeleteHallie there right now!! I'm sure she will have lots to recommend when she gets back.
DeleteAnon, one of the best things I did in Paris, out of several trips, was a n early dinner cruise on the Seine. We did that because my grandson was a toddler, but it's a perfect first day activity. You get to see Paris from a unique perspective, orient yourself, avoid jetlag, and get a lovely meal.
DeleteAnd thanks Debs I hope to hear from Hallie too.
DeleteThats sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of travel and needing ideas, dear hub and I are thinking of going to Victoria BC in August. I read Rhys is going there this June, I think she wrote. I would love to have book store, coffee shops, tours, B&B's or small inns, etc ideas.
ReplyDeleteIf you like gardens, you should go to Butchart Gardens. There are a variety of gardens there to visit plus other activities, you can check their website for details.
DeleteAfternoon tea at the Empress Hotel.
Thanks, love gardens. Will check out both Butchart Gardens and tea at Empress Hotel. Thanks.
DeleteHI All! Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hank. It's sunny but nice and cool here in S.Cal - which I am loving, I dread our "summer" which is late Aug/Sep/Oct when we get the hot Desert Santa Ana Winds. So I'm not complaining.
ReplyDeleteYou are in the coast? Hot and dry ten miles inland in Central California. Our cool is now 90+ with many days over 100.
DeleteAnon, yes on the coast and much further south in San Diego. If we go inland just 10 miles east it will be 10 degrees hotter than it is at the coast.
