Happy Fourth of July, Readers.
It's nice that the holiday fell on a writing night.
We have lots to celebrate
in this Big & Beautiful world,
because I happen to believe that
America is already Great,
and I don't need to be told otherwise
by the Red Hats.
I do think these red hats are Great!
American Legion baseball
makes for a fun summer!
Hazel and Penny got to stop at this
Big & Beautiful Dog Park
in Warren, PA.
A few days spent in our
Big & Beautiful forest
was good for my soul.
I have many beautiful captures from the last few days.
They are special and need some
finishing touches,
so I'll share them next week.
Here's something Little & Beautiful.
The flag blew across the shot
at just the right moment.
The only reading material
I have considered Big & Beautiful
as of late,
was this epic story.
I finished it this week!
I don't think I will ever forget
Gus and Call,
Lorena and Clara,
or Roscoe and July Johnson.
You can tell it was good!
I marked lots of good parts!
I always have a Big Book going--
I usually read the Big Book
in the mornings--
between 10 and 20 pages.
I like stories I can chip away at--
and read them while I'm reading other things, too.
The last Big Book I read prior to Lonesome Dove
was this one:
I thought it was just ok
and most of the characters annoyed me.
Still a decent number of good parts though.
Did you spy my library in the background
of the above shots?
I have it almost arranged,
and I will be starting my card catalog
soon.
A couple of big names on this book cover!
I'm about halfway done.
Big names don't necessarily
mean tab-worthy descriptions though.
Decent plot,
but reads like it was written for a Netflix series.
It is has come time for Eloise to end
her Big & Beautiful day.
I woke up at 4:30 am
in the middle of the Allegheny National Forest
to the sound of Penny puking....
in my camp bed.
I finished the day on the shores of Lake Erie,
eating a smore
and watching fireworks.
Happy 249, America!
Big & Beautiful celebrations
planned for #250 next year.
Eloise
