Can't Resist

Sent to me from my sweet sister in Santa Barbara. Love the colours!
Pearl of China
/
Another book I just could not put down. I have hit the summer jackpot of reading. You can find an in depth review of this book here. But the short of it is the story of Pearl S. Buck living in China and told by a childhood friend. She is the author of The Good Earth which was banned in China along with Pearl Buck, who was condemned and taught to be hated during the cultural revolution. A fascinating read.
Sassy Swings

After seeing this swing at a summer home that Sister Ex was staying I had to find a few more...

Drink Up!
/
Had the girls over for a gathering in the garden and ice cold Mojitos. Drink up because summer is ending and it's not good. Seattle's summer weather is just starting. Grrr....

Almost French
/
Another nice summer read...This memoir is about an Australian falling in love with a Frenchman and living in Paris. I was shocked that french women do not get together and develop relationships with other women. Imagine no book clubs or woman's gatherings. I don't think so. She talks about her struggles of being accepted into friendships and family. This book was eye opening for me. More here .
I would add this to your reading list for certain.
Staging-Leshi
/It's never really fun to stage without the sister...
This job had many stairs to negotiate with all of our bins and furniture and without the sister it is double the work. I do like this cute home with a killer view and the master bedroom is a treat!

Still not focusing

Yes we are working but not at the frenzied pace that is more the norm. Can't seem to shift into the next gear. Perhaps that's a good thing right now... My mind is here:
