Have you read it? What did you think?
This week has been busy!
I have spent way too much time driving this....
while we drive, we have been listening to this.....what a great story!
My grandma is having a family reunion next weekend and my sister took over the family directory. Between the two of us we typed like crazy, made a ton of phone calls, and sent several email notes trying to be as acurate as possible. It's done, and off to the printers. I can't wait for my own published copy.
My baby brother is getting married in 12 days, and there is lots to do to get ready. I'm sewing some of the dresses. This is where I go when my mind needs to tune out the world!
Apricots are falling on the ground around here and how do you walk away, and just let them waste? We're making freezer jam! YUMMY!
I just canned my strawberries that thawed in my freezer a couple of weeks ago. They didn't really turn out as I had hoped.....but now I have lots of strawberry syrup. We had some over pancakes and it was delicious! I love strawberries!
I just got a phone call that beans are ready so my plans for the weekend have changed and I'm off to sit in a hot field picking beans the rest of the day. At least I now know exactly what I will be doing the rest of the week! There's nothing better than home canned beans though!
Between canning, weddings, family reunions, and more harvesting, the days are just not long enough anymore. Then it's Back-to-School, more harvesting and canning, and then winter is here!
Where did the summer just go?

Gosh, and I thought mowing the lawn today was an accomplishment! I finished Breaking Dawn and the review is on my book blog. Did you like it?
You are one busy and awesomely domestic women!! Kudo's to you!
I wish we all could be Mother of the Year too!!!
I didn't care for breaking dawn, I thought it was indulgent. You?
I don't know where it went either! But when you find it will you let me know?
I wish we could come up. I think Mim is but my life is being taken over by the public and private school systems and I think I might loose my mind!
Holy Cow. It is good to know that I am not alone in the whole life is chaotic thing. Your days sound like mine. I miss you so much too. I can't wait to come to Idaho and visit you. I am trying to look for some time. The oldest and youngest start school in 2 weeks and I am trying to get them ready. AAAAHHH!!! I miss you and love you. I finished Eclipse last night. Now I just have to borrow the last one. Eclipse was better than the second one. START HARRY POTTER!!!! YOU WILL BE HOOKED! Love ya, sis!
What did you think of the book??
Well, aren't you busy? I want your Suburban. Please???
Can't wait to read Breaking Dawn...my kids have it first. I hear it's awesome and unexpected though!
Busy, busy!
You may have already stopped by and read my review on Breaking Dawn. So now I just need to know what you think. It's cool if we disagree eh? :)
Okay, so you seriously put the rest of us to shame over here! You are a busy girl. I'm glad you took time to read a fun book. Not quite what I expected, but still a good read. Enjoy the wedding and family reunion. We love listening to books on tape in the car - is that one good for 4-7 year olds?
mmmmmmmm strawberry syrup..... GULP!
Holy Cow! You have been busy! That syrup and jam sounds divine!
I know what you mean. Ever since I got back from my vacation, it has been going, going, and still going. I am tired! With fall around the corner, I don't see a slow down in sight. Hope everything goes off without a hitch.
Hey it was good seeing you. Sorry we couldn't talk much, we were in and out of the temple and then we came to your ward for a sacrament meeting before my sis left back to Washington. Wow, sounds like you are crazy busy!
Wow! You have so many talents!
I'm not sure what I thinkof Breaking Dawn. I loved the Twilight series as a whole. I loved that she got pregant and had the baby. I totally didn't see that one coming!
I was about two pages into the chapter where it was from Bella's point of view again before I had this feeling that Jacob had imprinted on Reneesme and I was right! That was an interesting twist. I liked how that made it okay for Bella and Jacob to be friends. I wasn't sure how that was going to turn out.
I liked the happy ending because I had a huge lump in my throat when Bella was saying good-bye to her baby. I almost couldn't stand it!
I just felt like the ending was rushed or not as well thought out or something. I don't know- maybe it was th lack of fighting in the end... I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it was just a typical happily ever after ending in a book that was nothing at all typical.
I think the series was brilliant though! She is such a talented writer. She did such a good job of switching voices in the Jacob chapters! I loved the emotions she brought into the story. Sometimes I felt all sweet and mushy and the next second, almost holding my breath and wanting to know what happens next.
I hope the movie can do the book justice!
