Thank you! And Book Review!

 Good morning everybody!  I hope your Sunday is proving to be a good one.  It is hot here and humid and I think that is going to be the story here for the next week.  I am not going to complain, though, because it has been a cooler summer all around so I am not going to say anything.  Going into fall we have a tendency toward bad weather, like in spring, so I don’t want to rush things.   

First off, thanks to everybody that is helping me recover blog addresses.  I read my blog list almost every day and I have missed doing that the last couple of days so later on I am going to work on reconstructing it.  I really appreciate your help.

I finished “The Art of Inheriting Secrets”.  It was very good although there were some not so great reviews.  I liked it.  I will say that as the book went on all the attention to details were sort of diluted a bit, not as prevalent as in the beginning but it was a good book with a happy ending and a couple of twists in the middle so it made me happy and I do recommend.

I am now moving on to my next read — The fourth installment of the Palmetto Isle series.  The first three were good and I am hoping this one is as well.  It will go fast I am afraid so I need to be on the lookout for the next in my queue.  For once, I think I might meet my Goodreads goal.  Miracle!

I have been having so much trouble with my knees, back and feet that the other day I just took my shoes off and let my feet rest on the cool tile floor.  I was thinking back to my younger days — yes, I can remember that far back although it is getting a little fuzzy — but I was always barefoot in the house.  My pediatrician told my mother, when I was learning to walk, to let me go barefoot and I always did.  When I started having knee issues I started wearing shoes all the time and the issues have just gotten worse and worse so I decided to try without shoes again.  Amazingly the knee was a smidge better yesterday.  And my back wasn’t too bad either.  So, I think I have been mistakingly looking at my knees as the problem when it could be my feet.  I will keep you posted on my progress because I am absolutely sure this is scintillating stuff! Haha!

I think I mentioned that I have given up sugar.  It has been about three weeks or a little longer.  I decided to get on the scale this morning.  I have lost four pounds.  I can’t believe it.  Just a million more to go.  I won’t keep you posted on that subject — well, maybe — because I am sure it isn’t interesting to anybody but me.

Ok, well, that is it for now.  I have a list of things, projects to start working on — one is organizing photographs — sounds like fun doesn’t it?  Not.  Not one bit.  We will talk more about this later.  

Have a great day!

It's strange that your knees feel better when you go barefoot but hey, whatever works is good. I hope the trend continues. Also the trend of losing weight. I wish I could give up sugar but so far have been unable to do more than cut down on it. I have such a love of sweets.
