post-vacation post

Posted on | June 25, 2007 | 12 Comments

I’m struggling with real world re-entry so I’ll let my pictures do the talking.

Deer at the beach.  Never thought I’d see that!

We were the last house before the St. Joseph Peninsula State Park and these posts marked the park boundary.  One evening, emboldened by rum punch, we harrassed beach walkers by making illegal entry buzzer noises as they crossed the boundary.  Terribly childish.  But fun.

approaching storm

hunting for sand crabs – they were everywhere!  funny little creatures.

we had some pretty sunsets

I did a little bit of knitting and a lot of reading.  I highly recommend Water for Elephants; in fact, three of us read it while there!  Sara Gruen is descriptive and thorough and it was a quick and enjoyable read.  White Teeth I have mixed feelings about.  I loved the characters but feel like the story lost focus by jumping between so many characters.  Zadie Smith is a very good writer and while some might balk at the many side trips she takes from the plot line, I actually enjoyed it (probably because I’m the same way).  I felt like she copped out on the ending, though.  The way she tied everything together in the last paragraph was unsatisfactory and a bit sloppy - for me, anyway.  I did love getting back into reading, though.  So much so that I went to B&N yesterday and got The Kite Runner!

Now to catch up on my Bloglines and see what everyone’s been up to…. I really missed my blogfriends and found myself thinking about you guys a lot!
