Friday Favorites in the Beginning of June!

Happy First Day of June! Today I'm linking up with Andrea from Momfessionals as well as Erika from A Little Bit of Everything for Friday Favorites! I have to remind myself every day that it is actually:

Planning

Next weekend I'm hoping to open up my above-ground pool and install the air conditioners. Even though it is officially June according to the calendar, it was only in the low 60's yesterday so it's hard to believe that it's spring and that summer will ever arrive.

That super tall tree is my favorite tree in the world!

What I'm Reading

Now that I am retired, I am getting to read A LOT MORE! Here are some books I would recommend:

Good Dirt

I already loved the book, Black Cake, by Charmaine Wilkerson, and I loved this book just as much. In Good Dirt, ten year old Ebby Freeman grapples with witnessing the murder of her brother in their family home. This violent act dramatically defines Ebby's life. When she has the opportunity to house sit a cottage in the French countryside, she grabs it! Unfortunately, her ex-fiance who stood Ebby up on their wedding day, shows up to rent the guest house.

If you're looking for a new book, this is definitely a book to check out!

A Book Of Longings:

First, I love all of Sue Monk Kidd's books. Second, the setting of this book is during Biblical times. (One of my all time favorite books is The Red Tent by Anita Diamant.). Third, the premise of the book is that Jesus gets married to Ana ~ this book is Ana's story. Ana is a woman who knows how to read and write which was very unusual at that time. I highly recommend this book; it's a book that I love so much that I don't want it to end!

Check Out My You Tube Channe

I never expected to be a You Tuber. Many of my students claimed to want this job as a career because of fame and fortune. I'm not expecting any of that; I was just hoping to maybe help another teacher with virtual learning/teaching. However, I continued recording the books I read to the kids during snack so there are plenty of videos to check out!
