almost done with this baby sweater . . today i set the second sleeve in. tomorrow i'll sew it up along with the left side seam. the right side is already completed; then i'll block it and sew on the buttons. it was such a hot and steamy day! i went shopping for taco fixings (it just happens to be taco tuesday) when it began to rain and did not stop. greg came and helped me carry things home as they weren't delivering and i had a lot of jars and cans.
chanda is helping greg beautify his taco for the photo . .
chanda's friend was here for dinner (they both helped get dinner on which was nice) . . it felt good to have a guest. she was interested in borrowing a fun and light book to read. i recommended jacobin's daughter since she said she liked history and felt like reading a romance. it's a book my parents gave me for christmas when i was about twelve or thirteen years old. it's fun reading these old books again . . i just finished re-reading a beautiful, early edition of black beauty that my sister gave me for my birthday.
it's still raining and i can hear thunder in the distance . . there is a very cool breeze wafting through the window . . tomorrow it's only supposed to reach 72 degrees . . today it was 91! it'll feel chilly if it isn't too humid.
I don't know "Jacobin's Daugther," but we have other books by the author and love them!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's wonderful to hear you know of these books! Many don't! Yes, I remember this now :) Did you ever read her Deirdre? And I think I know that you have read The City of the Golden House . . so good! To Tell My People was very sad . . I think you would enjoy Jacobin's Daughter.
DeleteNo, I have not read that one either. We own "Hittite Warrior" and "God King." Have you read those?
DeleteNo, I haven't!
DeleteI think you would like The City of the Golden House . .
DeleteI just put a hold on it at the library.
DeleteI love how your library has all these classic books from the 60's and 70's!
DeleteYes, we are very fortunate.
