And that mug came from Barnes and Noble a few years ago. Rod refers to it as my "vat." I drink 2 "vats" of coffee every morning. ;)<br /><br />I'll look forward to your posts once you get settled. I'm amazed you even have time to get online these days.

This month is proving to be just as fun.<br /><br />Yes, I am definitely over owning a bookstore. I love working in one, but I wouldn't want the headaches involved in keeping one afloat in this economy.<br /><br />Now, as far as what you call "home," perhaps that could be for all of us friends who may wind up as widows some day. (I know that's morbid, but probably a reality since women outlive men---and my husband is ten years older than me). Think of it as a commune for widows. We could have our own library; someone could cook; someone could garden; we could ride our bikes or go for daily walks with all of our dogs. Of course, we'd have to find the perfect climate...;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-56115200777821977282012-09-09T10:02:27.528-07:002012-09-09T10:02:27.528-07:00Thanks, Staci.

I'm in again for September and will do a wrap-up post in early October.<br /><br />Yes, Miss Shay is quite a beautiful little girl. She's always smiling and always so cheerful. Love her!<br /><br />Fall is creeping in with very cool temps in the morning. We were in the high 40s both yesterday and today, but by late afternoon it got up in the high 80s. Mother Nature is such a fickle gal! As am I. I'm sure I'll start whining about the snow and frigid temps in a few more months. ;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-90818666246143041972012-09-09T09:55:54.072-07:002012-09-09T09:55:54.072-07:00She's very artistic!

"One" particularly made me grin and I'm crazy about that mug in your "Spoon" shot. I'm trying to join in on the September challenge but not doing very well. I'll definitely try to play every day in October. Should be a little more settled, by then!

And, you're so clever on so many counts: a.) posting them all in one fell swoop b.) taking gorgeous shots c.) showing us your life d.) your sense of humour! "I'm Lesley, and I'm a book hoarder." Hilarious, even if true for most of us. ;) Are you sure you're over owning a bookstore? Sometimes, I think that would be neat...with a little perfume boutique off to the side, and a restaurant on the patio that only friends could come to. Never mind, I guess that would be called "home".
