Read the Summer's Heat Away...
Tuesday June 10, 2008
Everywhere I turn, people are talking about the summer heat. It's June already. It's the week before Father's Day. The sky is the perfect shade of blue today--without a cloud or breeze.

What are you reading in the summer heat? Are you cooling off indoors, or enjoying a book laying on the beach or in a hammock? Wherever this missive finds you, enjoy these summer days--let a good book take you away!

I am so blessed. I am enjoying a week of beach reading bliss here in Maine. My in-laws have rented a gigantic (there are lots of us) house on the tip of a Maine harbor. They like to go out and see different sights, but I stay here and read, read, read. We have a huge deck on which to sit on the Adirondack chairs and take in novels while the salty breeze cools me. This must be what heaven is like.
I am a lover of the English language.I read to learn and improve myself.As for The heat I think it is a horrible thing. Snow is better. But reading is the most useful thing one can do. Especially a book about cool places like Heaven. The Koran for example.
