A Day of Rest and Cleaning

We spent the day recovering and cleaning up from our Texas Trip. Jennifer vacuumed out and cleaned the inside of the Sequoia. With the girls in the back and four days of being inside the truck, you would be amazed at how dirty it got. I mowed the lawn, which had grown up to a foot in a few places in the back yard, and did all the laundry from our trip. We also had several things (dishes, PDA, and mobile phone) which we needed to get up on eBay, so we did that as well. Later in the afternoon, Jennifer’s Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince audio book was available at the library so we went and picked it up while Abby went swimming at a neighbor’s house.

Today’s picture is from our trip. Isabelle is laying on the floor enjoying a magazine at Nana and Poppy’s house.

Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass

I just finished the fourth book of the Dark Tower series, Wizard and Glass, by Stephen King. I’m not so sure about the decision to make it a flash back. I kept thinking that it was going to go back to the regular story. Once I got about three quarters through the book, I realized that the whole book was going to be in Roland’s past. However, now that I’m done with the book, I think it was a necessary diversion. It fills in some of the holes in Roland’s character and sets a purpose behind his quest for The Dark Tower.
