Monday! Monday!

Main accomplishment at 106 today was not mine...but my handiman's! The ramp has been resealed. Now waiting for it to sink in and dry and then he will return and put down treads to make it safer to walk on in wet conditions. When we first sealed it, it was so slick when it was wet that it was dangerous to walk down it. Nathan and I bought treads to put on the boards, but had never done it...so now it will be done right after it has been freshly sealed. Once again the ramp looks good...or as good a ramp can look!!! Mainly it will be protected from weathering and hopefully will still be functional if and when I need it. I have done a lot of reading today. I finished two books today. One of them has sort of to do with Saturday's Cottey College Alum book club. I am in charge of Saturday's book club discussion. I have mentioned before that I have invited the author and his wife to join our group for the discussion. The book that we are reading is Paperboy by Vince Vawter. He has written two other books that continue the story of Paperboy and I was determined that I would have read all three of the books in the trilogy before our book club meeting this month. I was almost finished with the last book in the series and had set it aside and hadn't picked it back up so sat down and finished it today. Now to write down a few questions to keep the discussion going "if" it should lag! Knowing the group, I doubt that the questions will be needed...we usually aren't at a loss for words and this time having the author and his wife there will add even more voices to the discussion. I think we are in for a good time on Saturday. This book was a Newberry Honor book winner back several years. It is about a young boy who stutters. It is partly autobiographical about the author. It takes place back in the 50s and deals with a lot of social problems at that time. It being a Newberry winner puts it in the juvenile book caategory, but I found it very thought provoking about some areas that a middle school child probably wouldn't "get." I hope that the others in our group enjoyed the read as much as I did. I guess I will find out on Saturday! I have just returned from prayer meeting and am now ready to settle in for the evening. I think after reading so much today, that my mind is ready to unwind with some stitching. I am looking forward to an adventure tomorrow. I will report more on that tomorrow evening! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
