Tuesday July 1, 2014_June media_a Tennessee Williams bio which was fascinating and just a little depressing; an entire book about the pivotal year of 1959; The Americans, the photography of Robert Frank; Moonwalking With Einstein, about a journalist's personal journey in the world of memory competition that I loved, and The Hotel on Place Vendome, the true story of Paris's Hotel Ritz during its WWII occupation, my bookclub recommendation which everyone enjoyed!!!

Sunday July 6, 2014_Lauren and I went to see How to Train Your Dragon II, a terrific movie BTW, and since they no longer had a poster, I instead took a photo of the elevators up to the theaters.

Tuesday July 29, 2014_From last month, Jimmy's garden as a reminder because NOW he has the jewel-toned corn all picked and nicely placed in a wicker basket with, for whatever reason, sheet music.

Thank you!! Please do send me the info if you remember it. I love biographies.

How cool that your daughter-in-law was able to make her book club!! Their bookclub idea is very different although my favorite aspects to the way we do it is that we can all discuss the same book at the same time AND we are all challenged to read books we otherwise might never read. When we started this I almost exclusively read nonfiction or science fiction but my ladies opened me up to more mainstream novels and that's been fun!! I'm afraid that given a choice, I might allow certain books to be retired without my having taken the time to read something I otherwise wouldn't.
