If you are a reader then you will be shamelessly jealous of my situation. I am still traveling, but I have endless hours to read. I am, at this very moment, sitting in a library considering what great treasures I can take home and peruse. Grover is writing and while he writes, I read. Periodically, he comes into my room and gives me a "reading by the author" of the fiction he is creating. I have my very own real live audio book! I am really lucky. And he is a really good author. He makes us both laugh, and when I ask the reader's natural question about why or what happens next, he is very pleased. It's just what he wants a reader to do. Get hooked, ask questions.
My little old RV has very little in the way of upkeep--so household chores are practically non-existent. I have no guilt over grabbing a book, a chair, and situating myself in a breezy spot to read at my leisure. The worst thing is when the sun goes down....we are conserving our limited battery powered electricity. But I even thought of a good solution for that...audio books. I don't need to see to enjoy my audio books!
So, for those of you who think I have dropped off of the face of the planet, I have. I am reading.

Oh, Joy, love and envy your situation. I have to tell you a funny story: I was engrossed in a book this week at Natalie and Will's house and Will started asking me why I read all the time. He wondered if perhaps I just didn't have television back in the day, or if, since I grew up in Alaska, the climate forced me to read since there was nothing else to do. He just couldn't understand how I could choose to read when there was a basketball game on. He did admit that his sisters were always reading books.....but he didn't tell me about his author father.

Mom, that's awesome! I'm jealous. I wish I could read more, but I do like tickling the boys. Katie doesn't like it much. Anyway, can we see what dad's writing too? Erin's writing a book too. I don't know when she's going to be ready to let others see, but it is fun to see what happens next as it is written!
