My adorable nephew loving the U-Haul in the driveway. It is officially an alien ship.

Cassie, I saw that you’re currently reading The Dovekeepers. I’ve been wondering whether I should read it or not. What do you think of it so far? :)

Honestly, so far it is incredibly boring. I’m only 80 pages in though so I’m not sure. I love Alice Hoffman. I’ve never read a book by her that I didn’t like so I have high hopes still.

Never heard of the book Cassie, sounds like the perfect book to learn a little French, for you and your nephew :)

I will have to search around and see. He needs to learn some language since he’s so young and he can pick it up. My brother is teaching him a bit of German. : )
I hung up your three cards today – they look lovely!
