Thinking Again

I see I have not posted on my blog for a long time.  It must just be laziness!  My last post was about getting ready to go to Europe.  My sister and I have been there and have been back a long time.  Since the middle of April.  


Our trip was just wonderful!  My nephew Matt was a great guide.  We had to remind him we couldn't keep walking as fast, as long and as far as he could.  We saw such wonderful sights and had delicious foods.  Airports are not that much fun!  The flight was long but it was worth it.  I'd go right away if I could!!  Back to Milan and southern Switzerland.  I loved it there.  I liked Cologne, Ger. too.  What a wonderful experience and one I am so grateful to have had.


Now I'm home and things have been back to "normal" for some time.  We're having this HOT summer along with everyone else which makes it hard to get outside and do any gardening in the flower beds.  Unless of course, you get out there about 7 AM.  This morning I did and enjoyed it.  But it got really hot in a hurry.  I'm hoping we get the rain that the forecaster said we'd get tomorrow.  Our house is surrounded by cornfields this year.  The poor corn's leaves are curling begging for those wonderful refreshing drops of rain to fall on them and give them that much needed moisture.  


I'm getting a lot of reading done this summer too.  I love Amish fiction and historical romances.  I just finished Ann Gabhart's new book, The Gifted and just loved it.  I also read her Words Spoken True and Angel Sister.  Those are great as well.  Now I'm reading Mary Ellis' Abigal's New Hope.  I just "found" Samantha Jillian Bayaar and got her Jacob's Daughter books for Kindle last night.  Books one through six!  Love series!!!  I have a large pile of books to read which always makes me happy.    There are so many new authors of Amish fiction now which is really nice.  Keep those books coming!!


And, speaking of reading, now that's what I'm going to do.  Have a wonderful evening everyone.
