Wineries, shopping, craft beer runs, eating, dinners! We are ready! My sister better be here soon! Heeheehee!
Finally finished this...I am tired of posting this photo but I loved this book! As stated...it was enchanting!
I have been totally absorbed in this site...you can watch bears and whales and all kinds of things...through live action cameras. Then Rangers and Explorers talk about what is happening and you can chat with them, too. It's amazing! There is sound, too! Lucy and Roxie were freaking out yesterday looking for the birdies! Plus you can hear the bears and the Rangers explain the sounds. So far I have just watched whales and bears...but there is so much more. There is a mother bear with three babies...so fascinating!
I am triumphant! Thanks to Kathy (BermudaOnion) I have convinced Den to not tear the house apart by washing windows. After a calm conversation or ridiculous shouting match...depends on your view...Den is succumbing to my wishes. Whew!
Still reading this...
We actually have commercials here with the Pope advertising himself!
Our entire area is on alert for the Pope's visit. We are about an hour away from where the Pope will be but everything will be shut down. Bridges...train stations...schools...offices...either shut down or people are working from home or rerouted. It's amazing! Thankfully it won't start until Friday night. We were at dinner on Saturday night and the hostess told us she has school on Saturday but her school is closed on Saturday because of the Pope's visit and she has to drive into the heart of Philadelphia to make up her class! And that's the weekend my sister is stopping by! She and her husband are in NYC and they have to drive through this stuff to get here!
Paula and the Pope! Oh me oh my!
Books...
Reading this and it's so magically delicious! I learned a new term.
thaumaturge /ˈθɔːməˌtɜːdʒ/ noun...it is pronounced "thawmaturge"
(rare) a performer of miracles; magician
thaumaturgy, noun
thaumaturgic, adjective
Word Origin...from Medieval Latin thaumaturgus, from Greek thaumatourgos...miracle-working.
The thing about this fantasy is that Zacharias is a magician/thaumaturge. And magic is disappearing and he has to fix it. It's just really engrossing and just plain good! I do love a good fantasy!
Then Ti reviewed a book that sounded so good and I have it and I want to read it...so as soon as I finish my thaumaturge book I want to bump it up!
Seriously...what I love best about my blog free weekends is how exciting it is for me to blog on Monday! It's just a nice refreshing break for me! Most likely for you, too! Heeheehee!
What I read over the week end...especially the Style Section...
