I just finished I Am Malala and what a great read. I read it in about two day and have been thinking about her since. It’s her account of what happened to her and how with bravely, her parents standing with her in love, encouragement and grit. And those brother who never changed the way they treated her. And how she did and is fighting for education for both boys and girls. What we cannot forget is what education can and does for us all. GREAT read. I Am Malala
We have two things that happens every year on this date in our lives too. Grand #3’s Birthday and Son #2 wedding anniversary.

“The Ladies” are The Quilt Ladies. They quilt every Tuesday together and after years of doing that, they’ve decided to do a quilt pattern book. So “The Ladies” was born, a quilt block sampler pattern book with 68 – Eight by Eight Inch quilt pattern blocks. All straight pieced, all cutting and piecing instructions included.

This is my Florida State Quilt Pattern Block of you. After traveling this summer, we came to the idea, it’s pretty perfect here in Florida for Husband and I.
I love books and it’s one of my MANY things and after learning to keep my mind moving forward, I started reading a chapter a day. I think with me it’s just getting me to stop and start. After starting I seem to read and read. This is my last pool read book. I read a lot in the pool, it’s Florida ! This is The Hypnotist’s Love Story
I hate to say, I didn’t know this author, but do now ! I pick it my the reviews and the cover, bought the book for the cover ! Ellen in a professional hypnotherapist and you met her clients and understand her career. But, her own love life is in need of a bit of work. She meets Patrick, and the story really begins, Patrick has a stalker. A different kind, if there such a thing. The story held me and hearing the voice of the stalker made the book very interesting. Fun afternoon read,

I like to edit photo’s in my camera, meaning, I don’t just point and shot. I point it and then mess with the way is looks, move the camera left, right, up and down. Change mode on camera. Thank goodness I didn’t do that here on my White Lily Photo.
In other words WAY over think every bit of the photo. Why? I don’t like fixing it time on the computer later, just shot it right ! I said out loud many times, “Shot the picture! ” and had results like this.
