September 2012 – Page 5

Good morning! After 5 glorious days up North at our cabin, I am now home again, rested, and ready to jump into September. This month is another busy one, work wise and life wise, every weekend has something. You think after this summer I would be used to that kind of activity.

Recapping the past week, I went to the cabin on Wednesday afternoon. It is about a 3 1/2 hour drive from here. I went with two of our three dogs, Bailey and Sam the small ones went with me, Mater had to go to a kennel, too big and too puppy yet to go and hang out with people. Our friends Chad and Amy and their girls came on Thursday evening, my hubby Al, and out friends Dan and Key came on Friday afternoon.

When I was alone, I read and watched a couple movies, even did some writing.

There are quite a few awesome things coming up in September including my read a long of Bel Canto which we will be discussing and doing give aways for next Tuesday, and I will be putting together sign ups this week for participants for this years Banned Books Week which will start at the end of September going through the first part of October, and the Bloggiesta will also be at the end of September.

So while fall is not my favorite season (mainly because I know what follows…..) there are some great events happening in the book world, and in activities that will keep me going. 😀

How was everyones weekend? Did you do anything fun? Any fun plans for the week?

So…. I hope everyone’s Labor Day weekend was wonderful. I have spent mine with wonderful friends and my hubby at our cabin up North. We have had great food, conversation, laughter, exploring, and a campfire, and a birthday celebration. While through out this morning and afternoon they have all trickled back home, I am staying through tonight, enjoying a little R and R and reflecting back on a wonderful summer. I will post more about this on Tuesday.

AND since I am currently sitting at a picnic table in Silver Bay Minnesota writing this post as I do not have internet service at the cabin I am going to keep this brief as I need to get in to the store I came into town for before it closes. 😀

As far as reading has gone, it has been a great weekend fr that. I have read three books (I was here two days before company came so have had some GOOD book time, I plan to read another book yet tonight and by the time I finish driving home tomorrow I will have an audio book in as well. Since I am not near my books I am not really sure what I am reading this week, but I will be reading. 😀 I do miss this good reading time that I was able to experience this weekend.
