"Learning things is most fascinating, and I think it adds joy to life to be continually learning things so that we may be able to go on with it credibly."
- Laura Ingalls Wilder -
Once again-- Laura puts it aptly.
This coming Monday- registration for classes begins at the local University. Classes begins for many public schools. Ahhh.... the smell of fresh crayons beckons me on the school supply aisle. While it may not be academic- I will be taking some art courses and learning lots. I'm anxious to get "to it" and start drawing for real!
In the meantime- it's still hot and the hurricanes are beginning to line up. Which part of the Gulf will Dean target? Sister, Robin, and her hubby, Stephen, are watching the weather channel with baited breath to see whether or not they'll be having to cancel their Mexico plans or prepare to evacuate their home. I hope neither. But, somebody's gonna have weather to deal with. UGH. Check out the link I've added for the local Arkadilly weather if you want to know how miserable it is here. Suffice it to say- nobody's mowing their yards any longer. There's nothing growing to mow. Sad and depressing. I hate this part of summer. Thank goodness there will be classes to distract from that!
Stay tuned. Stay cool and read something chililng- I suggest Laura's "The Long Winter" because it is really about the coldest thing I can think of besides "Doctor Zhivago" or "The Long Walk". I get frostbite just thinking of those titles!
Am waiting on one last delivery man this afternoon and then I will post again (if it's there!) about some rather exciting news!

So did The Long Winter help keep you cool enough?
I've missed reading Laura...may have to pick up one of my battered copies of the Little House series and start reading them again!
