Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver - This is the book I chose to read last week while I helped Steve's aunt at her townhome in southern California. It was the perfect escape for the week. It's three separate stories woven together. It's about families, farming, life and death, coyotes, insects, forests and nature. Not my usual fare, but a good choice to follow Breakfast with Buddha.
California was wonderful. The sun was shining every day, I discovered the best Donuts in the world, people were happy, and there was even a street sign in the middle of a street that said "U Turn OK"! You'll never see that in Chicago.
There was also a walk up Taco Bell with picnic tables in front, just as yummy as any Taco Bell in the world.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
