What a glorious start to the weekend! Seriously....the yuckies are beginning to lift around here and everyone is on the mend. The weather is AMAZING! I'm curled up on the sofa, under a quilt my grandma made, annie dog laying on my feet, windows open and a beautiful spring-like breeze coming in taking all the stuffiness out of this house. Keep in mind....it's February, IN NEBRASKA....we normally have a blizzard about right now. I am loving it around here today:)
I am blessed to be apart of a book club with my very favorite author, Wanda Brunstetter. She has a new trilogy in the works and the first book in it was released on my birthday :) Wanda's stories have a way of pulling you in and making you feel right at home "living" within the pages of her books. She so effortlessly spins details that help you feel you're actually friends with the characters she writes about, and she paints vivid pictures thru her words, allowing you to see each one of those details. There are times I start laughing so hard, I'll actually snort (gasp), then I'll start reading aloud to my family but can't get the words out because I'll still be laughing so hard. A chapter or two later might find me with tears slipping down my cheeks. Wanda is just one of those very special authors that can capture your heart with every story she pens, leaving you wanting more when the last page is finally read. Well, this weekend I've set aside to read "The Seekers", as uninterrupted as possible (around here anyway;). I'm sure I'll be up all night tonight, telling myself "just one more chapter"....yeah, we all have our little delusions;). Truth is, when I start her books, I never put them down till I'm finished. There's a bonus with this new book: you see, the setting is an Amish cooking class, so you know what that means:) Yup! Amish recipes from the story are included in the back. YUMMY!!! I may have to try them out and see what everyone thinks :)
Enjoy your weekend!
