SURVIVING AUGUST

The first half of summer was just about as good as it gets here in central Texas, but now we've settled into an endless string of 100+ days, with no clouds or rain in sight. Man-oh-man, what I wouldn't give for a nice dreary day!

Since I don't get out unless I have to, once it gets like this, I'm all the more dependent upon A.C., art projects, and a pile of good books, to help me survive until fall. Books like this one...

Eleanor & Park, by Rainbow Rowell -- yet another page-turner stumbled upon in the Young Adult section. Could. Not. Put. It. Down!
