To All My Northern Neighbors...

July 1st is Canada Day!!!

I wish all my wonderful friends living north of the U.S. border ...

which happens to be less than 200 miles

... or 321.8688 kilometers ...

due north of my hometown ...

happy, happy, (safe) celebrations!! 

 So truly, we're basically neighbors, 'eh?

One of my "little" rewards to myself (besides the peace and quiet)

for going back to work, was finally gifting myself with one of these:

I KNOW! Flowers, again!! 
But what's a post without my flowers when they are so darn pretty???

Yay me!! LOL!

I bought myself a Kindle :) :) :) 

So ... now ... shall we all help me find time to use it???

LOL

Actually, I'm hoping with my commute into town and "possibly" getting stuck in traffic, lunch time (when I'm not working on hand sewing projects) and late, late at night (again, when I'm not with the kids or hand sewing) I can sneak in a little reading time.

To really knock this one out of the park ... isn't there always "bathroom" time???

LOL LOL LOL

NO!!!  Seriously, you know, the bubble-bath, candles, and glass of wine time???

LOL LOL LOL

OH YEAH! That's not my life ....

LOL anyway....

Anyway, besides lunch time at work, I thought I'd take it with me on my airplane trip to my mom's next weekend for the Sisters' 36th Outdoor Quilt Show!!!

 (remember last year's post? seriously, take a peek ... what a show!!) 

Think I can stay awake long enough to read?  If so, have any books to recommend? 

I've enjoyed books by Lara Adrian, Cindy Gerard, Christeen Feehan, J.D.Robb/

Norah Roberts, Debbie Macomber, and some really fun/light chick-flick types ...

(nothing heavy on the smut stuff ... sweet but not smutty)

I'll leave you now and look forward to your recommendations and

 ... to each and every Canadian friend ~

Happy Canada Day!!

Happy hugs and warm hearted wishes!

P.S. .... wouldn't it be the ultimate in cool accessories to have one of those

Beam n Read lights to go with my new Kindle???? 

You know, there's still a chance to win one on IHAN's blog hop:

or I might just run ya over!!

LOL

Good luck!!!
