Friday Eve Funny

I needed it a day early, so here is the funny of the week...

Wacky Weather

It's now hurricane season, which means the atmospheric pressure is wreaking havoc on my sinuses. It also means that there are random thunderstorms. Dave and I thought we might end up victims of a summer downpour at the G-Braves game this past weekend...



Fortunately, the unpredictable weather decided to hold off so we could enjoy the game.

Friday Funny

I can't believe it's Friday already
(though I am thankful that it's here!)

It made me think of my niece puppies :-)

First Day of School

It's the first day of school for most schools systems in this area.

Hahaha teacher-friends! Your vacation is over!

Aim for the head, right HistoryDiva?

Recent Reading

I haven't been reading much this summer since I flew through the "Spiderwick Chronicles" in July. HistoryDiva loaned me her copies forever ago, and Dave read through the series before I finally got around to them--and then finished all five within a week.

So yesterday at lunch, I was happy to finish a book, which is the next book club pick, "Murder on the Orient Express" by Agatha Christie. It was a fast read, for which I was grateful (and a good book, too!)

At the same time as both Spiderwick and Agatha Christie, I've been slowly making my way through an interesting non-fiction book that I started after the "Twilight" book club in June. It's the story of the trial of one of the first females in America to actually be mentioned in history books as more than so-and-so's wife. Anne Hutchinson was a radical Puritan who was banished by the leaders (all men, of course) of the Massachusetts colony because she was a threat to their civic and spiritual leadership. FYI--She ultimately died in an Indian raid, and the only survivor was her red-headed daughter, Susanna, who was taken captive by the Natives for many years. I actually found "American Jezebel" after reading the fictionalization of Susanna's captivity in "Trouble's Daughter" (another good book!)

Harry Potter v. Twilight

I saw the new Harry Potter this weekend on IMAX 3D!
I had forgotten a lot that happened in Book 6... but so did the movie, according to Dave.
It was still a very good movie (except for the part where the Deatheaters are flying through London--in 3D--and I got motion sick and had to look away).

I still haven't seen Twlight... so my favorite remains Harry Potter.
