Summertime Reading

I decided since I wasn't busy building a house or planning a wedding this summer, I would read!!

I love Jennifer Weiner so I picked this book up. Once I saw it was about addiction, I had to read it.
I've been reading Janet Evaonvich for years and even though they are getting redundant at book twenty. I still read. 
I've had this book for years and I've never picked it up. I really liked it. It's about a lady and her husband tries to kill her by throwing her overboard during their cruise. She swims to safety and sets out to get revenge. At the same time she is falling for the guy who rescues her. 
Very good young adult novel about a boy with a deformed face and the challenges he faces. 
LOVE this book!! Can't wait to see the movie. 
I went to church with Adam Brown. I never really knew him, but my mom was and his parents knew each other. I've been wanting to read this book and finally purchased it through my Kindle App. Adam Brown was a Hot Springs boy who got mixed up with the wrong crowd and drugs in high school. Once he hit rock bottom he decided he was going to become a Navy Seal. Life was still hard and he encountered a few slip ups, but he found true love and God helped him overcome. This is a story of his courage and sacrifice for our country. I read it in two days and cried the whole way through. My brother had the same struggles with drugs in Hot Springs and our family endured some of the same heartaches. 

School starts soon with two weeks of professional development, so I'm  glad I got some summer reading but before life becomes hectic.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...
