What I Read August

I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's Quick Lit. Check out what everyone else is reading.

Summer had wound down and my reading has slowed to a trickle.

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

I bought this book to share with Nonna . She thought the book might have a few too many characters. Since all the writing is in letters and emails aka correspondence. It takes a bit to get the storyline. I enjoyed it. I passed onto a friend. It certainly has gotten a lot of buzz. 

Junk Around and Find Out

 I thought I would share more from my junk journal. This a couple pics of our trip to Albuquerque to see Slim Sherri and Dad Bod Veteran junk journal style.

Inappropriate TALES FROM THE ROAD

We do a lot of driving here in rural New Mexico. Thought I would share a few inappropriate things I noticed last week in our travels.  I saw an apparently homeless man carrying his urine in a plastic garbage bag.  In the middle of nowhere Vaughn New Mexico, we saw a man handcuffed and following a deputy from the gas station.  It wasn't much a prisoner transport but where was the guy going to run to.

We also found Cinderella's abandoned carriage. You have to stop to check it out.

This quote was in Jen Hatmaker's Message from the Middle and it hit home for me. I too am a conflict avoider. Jen Hatmaker had this to say after the quote above - "I propose that silence is not better than necessary confrontation or change. It is worse. Silence is covering something up, and cover ups have never worked."

Deep Thoughts

in progress

My husband has been working on the shadow box up above for months.  It was a custom order. The majority of the shadow box is made out of Beli wood. He did all the laser work on this too.  I know when he was asked to do this project, he didn't think it would take months. I say by far this is the hardest project he has ever done. There was also the pressure of wanting to tell the story of this veteran in such way as to honor him.
