Atlas Shrugged

I just finished Atlas Shrugged.

Last night about 11pm, I made the best decision. Stop reading and save the last 2% of my book to savor with a clearer head, cup of coffee and a cat on my lap. Make a perfect setting for a perfect book. This is great writing in every shape and form. What a great read.

I agree with my sissy, who suggested this book....up on the fav five list.

Now to decide what's next to download and read! I sure love my Kindle! Ladies, how are we going to take care of our tradition at Christmas with getting each other a book now that we all have a reading devise? Any ideas?

:) :) This is What I Call Success

Some things you just don't get over....being proud of your children.

Taylor just received a job offer, and of course who wouldn't want her in their own work environment. She is fantastic and everyone knows it. So light hearted and makes everyone smile besides very good at what she does. Its very difficult these days to be hired and maintain a position, but Tay has shined again.

Morgan (Maggie called me this afternoon) that her picture is in the Seattle Times for "On the Move"...business section due to her moving to her new law firm...again in this trying world of employment, she had job choices once she decided to move.

Its one thing when your kids are still in school and pics in the local newspaper or wherever, but as adults and when its regarding the profession they have worked for so hard and are obviously successful...this still makes me smile.

You know who would have loved it the most.....Grandma Mary!

Lori Emmerton aka Boo Radley

So all of you know the darling little girls next door....Ava, Kalanie and Lahlua.

These girls run to me when I get home as if I was a family member and so happy to talk about their day, see if there are any blueberries to pick or especially, pet Georgia. You couldn't ask for better neighbors.

Well the girls have been lining up small rocks on the bulkhead ledge we share by our driveways. I asked them one time what they were building, and they just shrugged and said "nothing, just like lining them up." So what I've done, is place under about half of these rocks and pebbles....money! Just pennies on up to quarters. I know they will be so surprised and I hope that they will start running to look for treasures periodically. How fun will it be to have a McD's coupon under a rock!

I feel like Boo Radley....and loving it.
