Read, reading, & home improvements

"The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is the 5th book in the Chronicles of Naria series. Only Edmund and Lucy return to Narnia, but their obnoxious cousin, Eustace, goes with them by accident. I am looking foward to reading "The Silver Chair" next.

I am close to finishing a CRAZY book called "Mistress of the Game" by Sidney Sheldon. Oh.My.Goodness! The characters in the this book are so maniacal, yet so believable... it's scary that people like this could exist!

Yeseterday, Matthew had his "crew" working around the house. A hill of kudzu was attacked. A radon vent was installed, which meant running a 4" PVC pipe from the basement floor, through the hardwood floor, through the ceiling, and out the roof! It's only about 30+ feet. The porch ceiling has been primed and is ready to be painted. (The pine beadboard knots bled through the first round of paint.) Matthew and a couple of guys built a shelter for our firewood. I managed to pick 2.5 quarts of blackberries and make round 1 of jam!

I am hoping to tackle some curtains tomorrow. We'll see how it goes!

Wow! Busy over at the King house.

SO was The cousin supposed to be annoying? Or was she kind of like Edmund in the first book...?

Edmund actually compared Eustace to himself. Eustace was whiny and acted superior to everyone, but in the end he learned to be a nice boy.
