Short and Sweet

This week was full of busyness with orthodontist appointments, flooring estimates, farmers' market and the like, but this post is short and sweet like summer.

And while summer is nearly over and the farmers' market season is drawing to a close, Bobby, Emily, my sister, and I are still managing some weekend day trips. This past weekend we visited the Findlay, Ohio area where we stopped in at the Findlay Ghost Town. We saw old homes and buildings, listened to a live band, shopped some of the local vendors set up, and bought some kettle corn and cinnamon pecans.








We also did some geocaching both going and coming.


 
And, as usual, I managed to make a little time for some reading. This week I read Ellie in Concert which is  the newest book in Mike Wu's Ellie series. In the first book Ellie was an artist, but in this story, Ellie turns her talents to music in order to help a tired friend. Mike's soft and adorable illustrations, as well as his fun sense of story, makes this a wonderful read for children from four to eight.


 Well, that about wraps it up for this week. Join me next week for another exciting episode, same crazy time, same crazy channel. Also be sure to drop by Literacy Musings Mondays for more great blogs as well as my personal website Fun With Aileen where you will find more on reading, writing, and my very own chapter and picture books. And finally, you can find me on twitter @AileenWStewart if you want an extremely brief glimpse into my days.
