The Past Two Months :)

So most of the last two months has been spent in the thick of my husband's flight school...it has been a grind, but he graduated from the Blackhawk course on March 22...woot woot!!!  His mom and dad were able to fly in for a week, and we had a wonderful, whirlwind visit.  We were able to do a lot of fun things, and they even got to experience crazy Alabama rain. 

Here we are at graduation; he chose me to "pin his wings" on.

There's been some relaxing going on here...at Destin, FL

And here...Lake Tholocco, the lake at Fort Rucker.

 This came to live at my house...I'm in love! :)

 So I promptly had to make a beautiful camera strap cover...now I want a Jo Tote for my camera!

 Seriously, the ONLY quilting project I've done in two months...a twin-size quilt for my son's 12th birthday...which was the day AFTER flight school graduation.

 Lots of watering our plot at the Fort Rucker Community Garden...it's been a warm spring!  I'm the president this year and it's been so much fun already!

 Driving on some red dirt Alabama roads

Super-proud mom over here! 

So, in a nutshell, it's been a fun-filled, busy two months. :)

Book Review: The Song Remains the Same by Allison Winn Scotch

Another book review for you today!  The Song Remains the Same by Allison Winn Scotch was a good read for several reasons.  First, I love a good amnesia story...I'm always curious to see how other characters interact with the person with amnesia...are they saying things to help or hinder the condition, and for who's benefit?

The main character, Nell, has survived a plane crash with only one other survivor.  It was interesting to see how they bonded, even though Nell had family and friends with her after the accident.  She also had a need to find her true self under the shell she had built around her.  I think that's the challenge that kept me reading...how was she going to unearth herself and find happiness in what she wanted, not what people wanted for her?  To be honest, I didn't like most of her family.  Her estranged husband, her sister and mother all had agendas for their behavior. I was pleased with the resolution, and with its possibilities.

Overall it was a decent book.  I did enjoy These Girls more, but this was a solid read.  Allison does have other books available; check out her Amazon author page for a listing.  I'm putting Allison's books onto my wishlist now!
