#31 and gt day #6

Today I am thankful for a number of things:  #1  My brother, Bob is flying into Cleveland for meetings and has time to come and visit us here in Madison.  I haven't seen him since April, so it will be great to spend some time together.  I also heard that Mitt Romney and Joe Biden will also be at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport around the same time he's landing, so I hope he is able to get in and out quickly!  Which brings me to #2 I am SOOOOOOO thankful that it's election day {no school ~ so I had a clandestine rendeavu with my loving husband at McDonald's} and the political ads will END.  No more recorded phone calls.  No more annoying political commercials {here come the Christmas ones}. No more debating.  It's OVER.  #3  The SUN IS SHINING and #4 I RAN OUTSIDE.  Life is grand.

Also, I finished book #31 ~ Nora Roberts The Next Always (Book one of The Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy).  I've never read Nora Roberts and I think I've finally found my go-to summer read author.  I love a good, happy story where the good guys are good and the bad guys always get what's coming to them.  It's what you would expect in a romance that includes a ghost living in the old Inn.  Don't expect great literature ~ but it's much better written than Twilight or Shades of Grey!  Of course book two is not available from the library on Kindle, so I had to place a hold on the actual book {OH NO}, and book three comes out this week ~ so I'm number 277 in the hold line on that one.
