Weekend Fun

20060804-143610Image by sachac via Flickr

This weekend was a great time spent with College Girl. Lucky to have tickets to the musical "The Boyfriend" that the theater department presented. CG was in charge with the sound design this time around. We arrived early so there would be time for dinner and drinks before the show. This was fun loving and a bit surprising. You see we did the round of desserts that all of us shared. Two of them were hot cobbler and hot brownie, both with ice cream on top. Now Dear Hubby has a horrid tooth ache so steered clear of the ice cream. But was thrilled to taste the hot melted butter that was on the hot desserts. Of course we all dug in as soon as he started saying how yummy it was. I made sure to have a big scoop of ice cream with my cobbler. And was it ever butter-y! So strong of butter, hot melting butter! Yes, Butter! NOT ICE CREAM! Our lovely waitress thought she was scooping ice cream but instead it was big scoops of butter. So yes sir-ee, I had a mouth full of butter. BLAH!

Well, talking about College Girl and shared interest, I wanted to tell you about "Book by Book". This is a guide on creating mother-daughter book clubs. We are both avid readers. I love sharing stories with her. I do wish I had this guide when she was younger. It helps to have tools on how to create a book club. A great part of this is the listing of books that appeal to the mother-daughter audience. It also helps to share what activities you can plan too. I wonder if I should start up a neighborhood book club for moms and daughters? It is an idea.



Comes A Horseman

I adore reading. And I am lucky enough to have friends like Nessa who will share their books with me. Sad to say, I am not reading fast enough these days. So my to be read pile is stacking up on me. My bedside table looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

I have recently read a book that Nessa awarded me. It is an interesting thriller that is from a Christian writer named, Robert Liparulo. He is new to me but I see he has written 3 thrillers so far and 4 young adult books. Comes a Horseman was extra special due to an autograph name plate. It made me feel extra special to have that lil jewel.
