Reading is Heaven

It’s Friday and a gorgeous day up here in Seattle…sunny and bright and clear.  The sun makes me feel light and happy.  And reading makes me happy and I’m hoping to wrap up work early today so I can squeeze in an hour of reading Georgette Heyer’s The Unknown Ajax before resuming mom duties.
