Nothing Like a Good Book or Shake

There is no time for blogging when you find a good book!! I couldn't put down The Kite Runner. If you read it and can get past the sad parts you will know why this is such a wonderfully inspiring book. I will be thinking about this one for a long time. I looked up the author and plan on getting his second book soon. I'm hooked and now have a greater interest in Afghanistan.

Now, for those in Southern California, how did you like the little shake or big shake depending on where you were. I was in Huntington Beach in my work parking lot and the quake stopped me from walking as all of the cars moved in unison. Then the car alarms went off.

Let's be honest, at least it wasn't the BIG one!!

Happy 4th of July! THERE ARE SO MANY REASONS TO LOVE INDEPENDENCE DAY! HERE ARE A FEW REASONS WHY THIS IS SUCH A GREAT HOLIDAY FOR ME.

• A chance to celebrate the United States and what our independence truly means.
• Always great fireworks! Whether it is the kind you buy from the stand or a stadium show it is always special.
• Most important is quality time with family. We just relax and enjoy the usually hot day eating and swimming.
• Picking out a patriotic book for David. This is my own new tradition since we got married. Which means tomorrow morning I need to get up early and find something ☺
• I contribute by making my American flag cake. Which is super basic but everyone seems to look forward to it. An official tradition!
