Sunday Wrap up...

We are into the second day of a three day weekend here in Canada, and while I've washed floors and the like, I also managed to finish reading two books, (mostly because it's been a travel week again) The first The Lonley Polygamist, well how interesting.

I don 't know what I expected and I'm  not very knowledgeable about polygamy, however this was a very interesting read.  I was telling my painting pals about a particularly humorous part and we had the staff come in to see what we were all laughing about. This was one of the good things about this book, just when you  were ready to pull out your tissues (remember I read on public transit) you got this blast of laughter, so I still had people looking strangely at me. A very worthwhile read.

My second GOOD book of the week was Deloume Road.  In my effort to support Canadian Authors(as the mother of one)  I picked up this book recommended by Canadian BookWorm. I don't know what I expected in this one either, but it was a very good read, great character development, and unusual format. Enjoyed it immensley.

I "ll be looking for more from this author, and maybe he'll take me on a treck across Canada.

And now I'll enjoy my clean floors for just a few more hours, and then my men will come in from the great outdoor adventures and that will be another story.  Have a wonderful week.

Oh my aching bones

When we were growing up my mother always could predict the weather, according to her aching bones. I don't remember if she was right. She also said that it would rain if all the cows in the fields were lying down. Again, I don't remember, nor do I think we ever really documented those predictions. As an adult I always thing there is a scientific reason for everything, including the cows lying down, maybe they are just tired of giving milk. I always felt quite exhausted after nursing. But lately, as I progress through the half century club, I'm starting to say those things to my kids. You know how you start to sound like your parents. Well today, even though I thought I was quite active, I could have predicted the rain. Or ... is my thumb aching because of have embossing metal. Metal embossing requires the use of you thumb for an extensive period of time. Are my feet aching because I have walked more than 6 k. Who knows? But my bones are aching today, and it just happens to be raining. Don't you just hate it when your moms are always right.
