This is about how I’m feeling today… and you? I hope you’re all warm and cozy somewhere!
It seems I have books coming in faster than they are going out…
Between the work of my day job, the commute, my love of photography (and dog rubs!) and my new addiction to knitting, I haven’t been taking a lot of time to ready lately. I do read on my commute and when I crawl in to bed each night, but I’m only good for about 20 pages before I’m fast asleep in either situation.
I’ve started three of these books, and finished the top one since taking this photo over the weekend (thanks to Melissa at Yummy Goods for letting me borrow!). One of my favorite types of reading is that of international cultures – fact or fiction, because I learn so much through either. Just Like Us is a true account of four young Mexican girls growing up in the U.S., two with legal documentation and two without. Mountains Beyond Mountains seems like a timely read, when so much is happening in poverty-stricken Haiti. I know it won’t be a happy “story”, but one of awareness.
What’s on your shelves right now?

Funny that you should post this–I also posted about what I was reading this week. I love to see what others are reading!

I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns and have moved on to World Without End. Apparently I’m on a sequels kick!

I’m half way through “The Shadow of the Wind.” It’s wonderful…I wish I had more time to read.
Abner is a playful one-year old pit bull currently up for adoption at the Animal Rescue League in Brewster, MA. When I say “playful”, I mean this dog can BOUNCE!!!! Maybe I’ll follow this post with some blooper shots, because these photos encompass literally the five times I captured Abner’s eyes in focus.
Abner was found as a stray and unfortunately seems to have gone without training in whatever home he did have. Fortunately, he’s still young and will be able to learn rules and manners from a loving new home, willing to give him some attention.
I also want to mention that Tally is still available as well – an adoooorable treeing walker coonhound! Stop on in or call the shelter to say hi!

On Saturday, the Animal Rescue League of Boston in Brewster held a fun Paws On Ice event at the local skating rink! What fun to participate and see how excited all the kids – and adults! – were. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos in this new format, but let me know if there are issues.

The local group has been so wonderful with planning activities and events for the community. You can check out their Facebook page HERE to keep current on all that’s going on!
As a side note, this past Sunday was my Mom’s birthday, and as a huge thanks for all her help at the shelter I gave her an official Animal Rescue League fleece vest! I love it!

I hope you’re all having a wonderful weekend!I wanted to pop in and share a link with you, from my interview at New England Cable News (NECN) this week. The segment aired twice today, but I know many of you don’t have access to the area’s television stations.
And a heartfelt WELCOME to all new visitors! I’m so glad to have you here!
