Love one another and you will be happy, It's as simple and as difficult as that.

Yes I did it...I really,really did it. I completely "checked out" "mind blanked the world, left the planet "Quilter" and MENTALLY CHECKED OUT. Did I get dressed..NOPE, it was PJ's all day and then PJ's all evening. Did I cook a meal...nope left overs with and giant bowl of popcorn. Did I sew a stitch? Nope not one. What? I sew everyday but not yesterday. Did I watch TV. Nope..not one single show. Did I plant the dang pansies that are sitting in their little pots screaming to get some more room to grow? NOPE. Did I read emails NOPE. What in the heck did I accomplish yesterday? See books below! I literally "CHECKED OUT". And I'm not sorry either!
What can I say? A day with a Pat Conroy book is a good day...and then there is "The Help" I did not finish it but I'm LOVIN IT!! Maybe I'll check out later tonight like about 5:30!
I read every day but I rarely read ALL DAY. Reading, one of the GREATEST PLEASURES ON THE PLANET. Check out sometime it does a body and mind GOOD ,GOOD, GOOD.

I loved the Help, haven't read Conroy's new book yet.
What a lovely day you had!! I haven't read either of these authors, I'll have to go find them, thanks for the recommendation :0)

Sounds like a dream day to me Pat! I'm definitely going to check out these authors since you reccommend them so highly :^))
I agree that a day spent in a good book is one of the best days possible. I often tell my husband that reading keeps me sane and it's cheaper than medical help. I think it's too bad we don't allow ourselves more days like this.
I"ve not read any Pat Conroy books, but I'm always on the lookout for a lead to a great author. (Now...of course, if I don't LIKE the Conroy books, I will blame YOU!!! hehehe)
My husband and I listened to "South of Broad" on CD during our drive to TN. Loved it! (Congratulations on giving yourself a vacation.) Karmen
Happy reading!!
I am so impressed! We all need a few more days like that in our lives. I am dying to read the Help!
Ah, yes, I've spent too many days over the past two weeks reading. Finished Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol and then waded through The Echo of Bone by Diane Gabaldon. Now I'm back to reading my typical romantic fluff. Nothing like a happy ending to make me happy!
