Summer Reading
I always pack more books than I know I could possibly read, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Books are like friends. Just having them nearby is delicious enough, with their promise of escape to other worlds and bygone days.
So you'll excuse me for a little bit, won't you? It's time to disappear into the world of after-lunch naps and walks along the water. I have my toes to wiggle into the sand and my imagination to free into the lives of Australian pioneers in 1854.
Until I return to the real world.... blessings for the New Year and days ahead. May we delight in God's story for us as He scripts another new chapter in our lives.

Dorothy,
It's so very strange to hear about your "summer" plans - today's it raining and VERY cold here in California!
Have a wonderful time - and I'm wishing you a very Happy New Year. Full of the presence of God, and many adventures in His name!
GOD BLESS!
(p.s. You're like me. I've always called my books "friends." If I don't have at least one along with me at all times, I sorta feel lost...)
What a delightful way to have some me time!
Well, I finally got hold of some freebies, via Amazon - e-books which I downloaded to my PC. Though it won't be like curling up in a chair, at least I can still lose myself in a story! Yay!! XXOO

Enjoy your time away, Dottie!! I can imagine the waves lapping the shore as you read away - oblivious to the time! Looking forward to hearing all about the adventures the Lord sets before you! Have a wonderful time!! Happy 2011, my sweet friend!! :)
happy new year Dorothy. I'd forgotten you were on the other side of the world...we have snow here, so the words "summer" just jumped off the page.
Have fun.

Have a wonderful time in the sand and surf, enjoy, relax, savor the delights summer brings and I'll be here waiting until you return !
Happy New Year to you and yours...
BTW,
I think your fireworks display for New Year's there was the best on earth...Fabulous !!!

Nothing more relaxing than the sound of the ocean, and a good book, hope you had a great time
