Message of doom leads evening of reading . . . hmm, not a bad thing, really. Last night, my son turned my computer off at 8:30 and told me I really didn't need it for the rest of the night because I had a bath to take and a book to finish. Also, not so bad! :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1164595034158471952006-11-26T20:37:00.000-06:002006-11-26T20:37:00.000-06:00I can't think of anyTHING to be more thankful for,...I can't think of anyTHING to be more thankful for, than an afternoon (or evening?) to read. Hooray for the 'message of doom.' In a way. :)Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1164339568672864962006-11-23T21:39:00.000-06:002006-11-23T21:39:00.000-06:00Hi Bellezza,Happy Thanksgiving to you, too!

He's what we call a "vacation Nazi" - keeps us going till we're on our faces with exhaustion - so I often stop to take a photo and then have to run to catch up with him. It was a nice moment!<BR/><BR/>Hope you had a great day! I tried to post a Thanksgiving message and got the message of doom, followed by all my windows disappearing before I had time to save to draft, so I decided to just read. Ahhh, what a perfect way to end the day!!!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1164337042405247552006-11-23T20:57:00.000-06:002006-11-23T20:57:00.000-06:00I LOVE your comments about the girl reading by the...I LOVE your comments about the girl reading by the fire truck, especially "Hey, a gal who knows what's important during a time of crisis!" Great line, great photograph.<BR/><BR/>I also like the one of your husband, what a great sport! Plus, hooray for you not to be rattled by people coming out the door. I'm impressed you took your time, and captured what you wanted.<BR/><BR/>Happy, Happy Thanksgiving.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1164308088703853562006-11-23T12:54:00.000-06:002006-11-23T12:54:00.000-06:00Framed,I finished The Epicure's Lament last night ...Framed,<BR/><BR/>I finished The Epicure's Lament last night - hope to get a review up, soon. <BR/><BR/>Maybe someday we'll figure out all this electronic stuff. I'm finding that I feel a little competitive twinge when my college kid is around. LOL<BR/><BR/>Lotus,<BR/><BR/>Thank you!! We just finished lunch - very, very early for a Thanksgiving dinner. Hubby fried the turkey. It was really terrifying (he lowered it into this vat of gas-heated oil and it bubbled and spit all over the patio), but it tasted great and it cooked rapidly. It was an interesting experience! :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1164292220532419092006-11-23T08:30:00.000-06:002006-11-23T08:30:00.000-06:00bookfool, just stopping by to wish you and your fa...bookfool, just stopping by to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1164262930706254432006-11-23T00:22:00.000-06:002006-11-23T00:22:00.000-06:00The Epicure's Lament sounds very interesting.

I scrolled down to your answers and loved them. I also loved the picture! My grandmother earnt pocket money doing some light cleaning for a neighbour when she was a young girl, and family legend has it that she used to dust the house reading her book as she went. Such skills of concentration!

LOL I know it's a silly thing to worry about, but I'd like to at least know how to go about the process. <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you're excited about the Chunkster Challenge! I am, too, although I still haven't decided how many I want to attempt to read and I'm going to let myself choose from a stack rather than plan to read specific titles . . . because I'm fickle! It'll be fun attacking the fat books, I think. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1164137018765750112006-11-21T13:23:00.000-06:002006-11-21T13:23:00.000-06:00Hi, bookfool!So wish I could help you to make a bu...Hi, bookfool!<BR/><BR/>So wish I could help you to make a button but unfortunately my graphic skills are non-existent! I'm really excited about the Chunkster Challenge - I think I have finally narrowed my list down to 5 books...I can't believe I am actually going to read five, FIVE, tomes! :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1164062371297721502006-11-20T16:39:00.000-06:002006-11-20T16:39:00.000-06:00Andi,Yeah, actually, he kind of does!

I'm only about 1/3 of the way into it, so I'll let you know how it ends up, but so far it really has the feel of an Andi book. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-1164051354273183602006-11-20T13:35:00.000-06:002006-11-20T13:35:00.000-06:00Per your comments on the Estella discussion board,...Per your comments on the Estella discussion board, I MUST read The Epicure's Lament.
