Although I have only finished a couple of things from my actual to do list for spring break, I have done some very fun and spring-breaky things I'd like to share!
One of the things on my to-do list was to finish my book club book for this month...
I can't believe I actually thought I would have to put it on my list... are you kidding me? I couldn't put the thing down! Just the kind of book I like... a page turner that I can't put down, but also a book of substance, a worthy read, a book that makes me think. I highly recommend this book written by Lisa Genova, a first time novelist, who has a degree in neuroscience. It's about a VERY successful Harvard professor in her early 50s who is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Megan, this was a GREAT pic for this month's book and I can't wait to discuss it over an Italian feast in your beautiful and oh, so cozy home!!!! (Am I making the rest of you jealous yet? lol)
Also, straight from my to-do list... I sprayed weeds! Just around the front landscaping and side and back of the house around the patio. I haven't gotten to around the privacy fence inside and out yet... if you remember I have a very LARGE back yard, so that's an undertaking! Anyhow, I was excited at the discover of...
Roundup (the best brand of weed-control if you ask me) "Extended Control." If the product does what it says... and I am SOOOO hopeful... it not only kills the weeds present, but keeps weeds out for 4 months! Wouldn't this just be a miracle product! I'll let you know how it turns out! :-)
Not on my list, but probably more important that the items found there... Lunch with my girlz!!!
This is the front porch cafe! One of our favorite girly lunch spots on the square! We all three had their wonderful chicken salad in one form or another... Moo on a croissant, La and I on the "Magnolia Delight" lunch plate! Mmmm. I will say, they have changed owners and the service wasn't nearly what it used to be and pasta salad was undercooked for my taste - that was a disappointment because we LOVE this place! But, the company was the best part anyway!!!
Don't get me confused, I'm no "big time" "hot shot" golfer (the thought of that alone makes me laugh out loud!) However, I do enjoy it SO MUCH! So I met my friend Diane that I work with at school and we headed to Champion's Run to play 9! It was so much fun and I felt like, for the first time ever, that I found someone with whom I was equally matched!

These are the posts I LOVE to read!
I am slowly but quickly getting through the book and I hope to have it done by the end of this week :)! It is so hard to put it down and it just pulls at my heart.
YAY!!! I was hoping you would get to play golf this week :). One of these days I am going to give it a "swing!"
Sounds like an awesome Spring Break to me!! My mom gave me that book recently because she had read it and LOVED it!! Maybe I can read it over my Spring Break.
PS-It's cool that you have so many of the same songs that I like on your iPod!! Great minds think alike I guess! :)
I didn't know you were a golfer! Gentry is supposed to teach me this year so we can go together and I can strut around in some pink argyle. I mean, really--how many chances do you get for that? LOL!
Sounds like a fun srping break! Glad you were able to do those things befoe the weather turned. I'll put the book on my wish list so I'll remember to read it later. It sounds good.
