Worth reading.......

I know, I know...it has been ages since I posted. But I have been pretty faithful to my new Facebook account so for short updates that is the place to find me.

I wanted to post this brief entry to mention a couple of books worth reading.

"The Unlikely Lavender Queen" is an adorable memoir of a Yankee (person from New York) who transplants to Bastop, Texas and ends up with a very successful lavender farm and business. The trials she goes through are so real, so close to home. It was hard to put it down and true delight.

I'm also reading a book on my Kindle App on my Iphone that is great. It called "A Homemade Life". It is a fabulous cookbook but full of great stories too, written in a memoir sort of way. The author first started with a blog then was inspired to put it in a book. I can't wait to try her recipes. The story of her Dad and his potato salad really hit close to home.

So if you have some spare time.....these are worth reading!
