It Was Quite A Ride - Moving Through the Twentieth Century by Bonnie Graham - Something about the title made me want to read this book....probably because it reminded me of something my aunt might say about her life. This is the simply written memoir of an American woman born in 1930. She is a happy and good soul, daughter, wife, mother, working woman, and writes of her life with an upbeat voice. Reading her story and looking at her photos is kind of like meeting someone new and learning all about them, except you feel like you've known them forever.We are having a Memorial Day weekend with gorgeous warm sunny weather. Everything at home is back upside down again. Lots of clutter, lots to purge out of here and lots of decisions to make, all against the backdrop of planning some out of town time for the summer. I didn't have my May driveway sale, so I have to figure out a date and gear up big for a June weekend. I don't want to do it unless the house will feel different and emptier after it's over. Every day I'm adding to the pile in the corner of the living room.
