I always feel like the second semester goes a little easier than the first - teachers and students are more "in the groove." I have also made the goal of reading mostly books that I already have this year. Your small group at church sounds great! Hope you have another good week coming up!

It cracks me up that in the fall when it gets down in the 60's we're 'freezing', but in the dead of winter when it hits the 60's we're shedding out coats!

That works well for me - it gets some of them in the queue but leaves room for other reads as well.<br /><br />Yay for halfway points!<br /><br />So glad you got your camera back.

We're knee-deep in snow here, so summer appeals VERY much just now... LOL! HOORAY for getting your camera back--whew! Fun to see you with your singing group practicing! And fun with your church group getting together again for another year. Look forward to seeing what's on your reading list. I've sort of stopped doing reading lists, which is BIG because I'm a list'er. I just take each book as it come nowadays and like the freedom in that. Good with the rain there... Shall I send you some snow? It will melt to useful water: ;) Happy Days ((HUGS))Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.com
