Thanks everyone for your kind comments yesterday. Yes, I think I am ready for him to leave..... I can't be selfish even though I want to keep him home forever! He has matured alot since leaving high school and it is time for him to go. I don't know what first interested him in Norse Theology but he could tell you a bunch about it already. He has always found that topic to be fascinating and I am excited that he is following his dream.

It has been a beautiful day today...much work being done outside. We are not going to have too many more days like this so we have been enjoying the sunshine. I have been reading two very good books lately that I had picked up at Goodwill.

Living a Beautiful Life is an elegant book with delightful suggestions on how you can turn dull, irritating routines into life-enhancing rituals. It has simple ideas on how to make your home a lovely oasis of tranquility. I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Simple Pleasures of the Home enhances your joy in being at home, whether baking an old-fashioned apple pie, soaking in a pine-and-bergamot scented bath, or falling into bed amid lavender dream pillows. The book includes so many wonderful recipes and how-to's that I want to try them all!

My Mother enjoys writing poetry and I have one of hers to share with you that describes exactly how I feel about my love with books....

My love affair with books

Started when I was small

A lonely child can find the world

Between the covers of a book

I'd hold a book in my hand

And be filled with anticipation

I would never know

Where I would be going or who I would meet

As I got older and my interests changed

I met Kings and Queens in foreign lands

I learned how they lived and how they ruled

The people in their realm

Rich people, poor people

Through books I learned to know them

Their lives, their pains and joys

Their hardships and their heartaches

As I grow old I hope my Lord

Will see fit to grant my wish

That my eyesight never fails me

So I can read 'til my dying day.

Have a great evening everyone and give your loved ones a hug! =)
