You've Got Mail Monday

The Lil' Diva starts golf camp today. She had her first golf lesson with her dad last Monday, and since this is the only sport other than cheerleading she has expressed an interest in, I thought it would be good to sign her up for a camp this summer.

The post office finally delivered all our accumulated mail from vacation. Less than I expected, but filled with catalogs from L.L. Bean, One Hanes Place, Land's End, Gardener's Supply Company (they have a Hot Summer Sale going on), and the birthday catalog from Oriental Trading.

My July/August edition of the AAA Times was in our mailbox. The headlines read, "10 great spots to set up camp" and "Theme parks add new attractions." There was also this neat little newspaper type magazine titled Articles from Old News.  It says it covers historical topics ranging in time from the fifth century B.C. to the 1960s. Sounds right up my alley, but not sure how it was sent to me.  A six issue subscription is only $17 so I might give it a try.

The only book that arrived was Traveling for Love by Becky Due. I'm reviewing it Wednesday at The Book Connection.

That's it for this week's edition of You've Got Mail Monday. Hope you have a great week.

You've Got Mail Mondays

I know it's You've Got Mail Monday, but I'm not sure what the postman brought because I'm not home today. I'm hoping Traveling for Love by Becky Due, which I am supposed to review at The Book Connection later this month.

I'm sure there will be a host of catalogs and junk mail to plow through, too.

Can't wait to see how the garden has fared while we're in North Carolina. I haven't asked the house sitters how things are going during the heat wave. I hate bad news, so if the garden is suffering, I would rather wait to find out. I transplanted the Lil' Princess' cabbage in the garden before we left. It had been growing in a container, but grew too large for it. Hopefully it's done well in its new home.

Finally, we received news that one of our friends suffered a stroke over the weekend. She is currently in stable, but we're not sure of how much damage there has been or what her road to recovery looks like. We would appreciate prayers on Dianne's behalf. She is a wife and mother of three children, so her family will need a great deal of strength as she recovers.

Hope you have a great week.
