A Day on the Town!
Saturday Pat and I headed out on a walk to the coffee shop and grocery store. We had to pick up a chunk of corned beef and cabbage for our St. Patty's dinner.
Pat is reading away...
Seriously read "the Secret Life of Bee's"...it is REALLY good!!
Mom...here are two gangsta's we walked by. I was a little apprehensive until they got close enough to notice they are 12 year olds!! Pat said he could totally beat them up for me if he needed to!!!

Can you blog a haiku about the book you're reading? I've heard of it but don't know what it's about.

No haiku, but I could maybe do a brief summary (from the inside of the book)!
THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES...BY SUE MONK KIDD.
~South Carolina in 1964 is a place and time of seething racial divides. When violence explodes one summer afternoon, and Rosaleen is arrested and beaten, Lily is desperate, not only to save Rosaleen, but to flee a life she can no longer endure. Calling upon her colorful wits and uncommon daring, she breaks Rosaleen out of jail and the two of them take off, runaway-fugitives conjoined in an escape that quickly turns into Lily's quest for the truth about her mother's life.
Following a trail left ten years earlier, Lily and Rosaleen end up in the home of three bee-keeping sisters. No ordinary women, the sisters revere a Black Madonna and tend a unique brand of female spirituality that reaches back to the time of slavery. As Lily's life becomes deeply entwined with theirs, she is irrevocably altered. In a mesmerizing world of bees and honey, amid the strength and power of wise women, Lily journeys through painful secrets and shattering betrayals, finding her way to the single thing her heart longs for most.
