Risa Land: June 2011
http://risaland.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 4, 2011. Moved to North Carolina, been here 2 weeks. Hello lovely people of the world! Otherwise, I am doing wonderfully well here. I am getting to know the streets and getting used to the overwhelming green all around me and the fact that none of the streets are straight, meet at right angles, take you anywhere directly, or keep the same name from one mile to the next. Anyhow, I have a rigorous day of cleaning and battling old cigarette smell. Wish me luck! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Risa Land: March 2011
http://risaland.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 6, 2011. The Windy Hill by Cornelia Meigs. What I really enjoyed about this book, besides the stories, is the simplicity of it. If feel that a lot of books I've read over the last year or so have been heavy, complicated and concerned with the entire state of civilization. (For example: Hunger Games, The Unincorporated Man, the Mistborn trilogy, The Ugly Duchess, etc.). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Big Ben, Westminster, London Eye, Houses of Parliment.

We have the date set for June 1st in the Mesa Arizona Temple, with a reception afterwards. I'll send invites eventually:-). I have been reading a lot lately, no real surprise there, but I have been trying to focus my reading to some kind of purpose of late. I have been feeling that my brain is starting to atrophy (sp? Don't hurt the team too much. I am lucky ...

Risa Land: January 2011
http://risaland.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 22, 2011. The biggest challenge I've faced in this endeavor so far is that most of the early books are out of print. They started issuing the Newberry Award in 1922, and so far on the winner seems to be in circulation. I was able to get it at the local library. I'll try to keep a running commentary on the books as I read them. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Big Ben, Westminster, London Eye, Houses of Parliment.

Risa Land: June 2010
http://risaland.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. A good moment in the human race. So, first of all my morning was delightful because I got to go into work an hour later than usual because I spent an hour longer working from home last night. Anyhow, I was very impressed that humanity still has the natural cooperative instinct in times of 'crisis', when there have been breaches with the normal status quo people can still manage to keep on keeping on without being crazy. Yay people! Friday, June 18, 2010.

Sunday, February 27, 2011. The Old Tobacco Shop: A True Account of What Befell a Little Boy in Search of Adventure by William Bowen. So glad to be done with this book. Hopefully the next book will be better. Currently reading The Windy Hill, and its at least written in a style that doesn't make me want to skip entire pages and roll my eyes half the time. Monday, February 21, 2011. The Great Quest by Charles Boardman Hawes. On a completely different un book related note, I got a Bath and Body Works gift c...

Friday, January 17, 2014. Some Updates on Me:-). I took today off work. It was a crazy busy week and I promised Mark that I would finally update my driver's license to my married name. Two good reasons to enjoy my Friday. Done and done! I will miss the boys. 10 year old's are so fun! No pretense from them and always ready to do anything fun! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
