Inappropriate Thoughts

It has been a week.  We had lots of rain for New Mexico.  We discovered a leak in our ceiling. Some swears were said. The situation developed as it continued to rain over several days

Deep Thoughts

We celebrated 31 years this week.  It has been quite the ride this week, but we made time to go out for dinner. 

Lady Gardenton Rose Killer

Dearest Gentle Reader

The ton might have noticed that Lady Gardenton has killed her 4th rose. I believe it is time for the ladies of the Ton to stage an intervention.  That is not the same rose bush she started the season with. Don't believe her flowery pose. Lady Gardenton cannot explain ignore her protests. This lady needs to know the limits of her green thumb. Someone please remind her next season to not gamble on roses.

Well 4th time was not a charm.  I killed a 4th rose. I decided to embrace my alter ego, Lady Gardenton.  It calls for a fancy dress, high heels, matching garden gloves, DEAD rose, and bubbles.

Inappropriate Thoughts

Well, I did it. I served store bought cookies for my parents and to Nonna.  Both claimed I have never done that.  Guess what? They still ate them.  They weren't as good as homemade, but no one died.

Deep Thoughts

I had gotten tickets for my dad for his birthday to go to the air races on Wednesday, but he got sick the night before.  He had a 24-hour flu. He had a little adventure with a trip to the ER to get some fluids.  So, on Friday we thought we would try again but it was hotter than he thought he was up for, so we did the next best thing and paid $10 to stream the air races.  The snacks were great and the AC even better.

What I Read in September

 I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's Quick Lit.  Check out what everyone else is reading. It was a little on the reading for me this month. Click here to see my fall TBR reading list.

Miss Morgan's Book Brigade by Janet Skeslien Charles

I picked this up from a library book sale.  I have read The Paris Library.  This fiction book is also based on a real-life librarian except during WW 1 - Jessie "Kit" Carson. This explores the true story of Jessie Carson and her work with millionaire Anne Morgan's American Committee for Devastated France aka the CARDS. The CARDS did work in French communities just miles from the front lines. Jessie helps establish children's libraries.  That was something new for the French. I thought this was a fairly decent read.
