Argh! I had shorts on until I got to Tennessee and then threw on the sweats and sweater. Burr. I didn't see too much reading where I was, a few, but that might be because I had my nose buried in my Nook. lol. Loved the weather though. 80's all week, great for poolside reading.Reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493618594406138554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-51433820997064778732011-03-29T19:05:37.829-05:002011-03-29T19:05:37.829-05:00I didn't mean to imply that nobody wanted to r...I didn't mean to imply that nobody wanted to read the Nora Roberts book, only that it had been abandoned temporarily while its reader got a margarita or took a quick dip to cool off! ;0)<br /><br />ahhh, it was excellent. still missin' it.<br />christyerica and christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074820593371226159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-72148698004561742422011-03-29T11:24:16.049-05:002011-03-29T11:24:16.049-05:00I'm so glad to hear that you had an excellent ...I'm so glad to hear that you had an excellent time, and got to meet Michael!

Our motto is, if you don't like the weather today, wait for tomorrow. We literally went from almost 80 degrees one day, to almost freezing the next. It was crazy. Missouri weather at it's finest. <br /><br />LOVE all the book readers- yay!Abby Minardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963640263845561309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-79345193818262140732011-03-28T23:07:41.249-05:002011-03-28T23:07:41.249-05:00Despite borders closing I actually thing that book...Despite borders closing I actually thing that books are making a come back.

For some reason there's nothing quite like a good paperback in your hands. Enjoy the snow!

Torrential rains all day today and also forecasted for the rest of the week. BOOO! I can't complain too much as a good friend of mine always say when it rains ... "God has to water his plants." So true.<br /><br />Stay warm. I have a blast with you, too!<br /><br />MichaelMichael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804696485095159380.post-72938807737491514432011-03-28T13:44:51.536-05:002011-03-28T13:44:51.536-05:00Vacation was blissful.

I'm not an adaptor when it comes to reading technology, I'm afraid, although I'd rather read on a Kindle than not be able to read at all!

I'm so glad to hear that books are alive and well (as suspected), but honestly, I'd bring my Kindle on a vacation like that. Then I don't have to carry so many books with me. I even put manuscripts on it.<br /><br />Welcome home!

So cool that your son learned to swim on holiday, that's when I learned too, in the sea in Sweden. Oh to go there again. Have a great week you two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
