We’re at the halfway point of the year—can you believe it?!?! My family and I had a great vacation travelling to Springfield, Illinois to visit Abraham Lincoln’s hometown. It was a surreal experience to visit and stand where our beloved 16th president lived and worked before he went to the White House. His gravesite is a beautiful memorial to him. Along the way, we also visited the gravesites of four other presidents and are already planning a similar trip next summer. You can call us presidential junkies!

Anyway, between that trip, work, and planning/prepping for RWA in a little over a week, I haven’t had time to do any serious reading…except for maps. LOL! I am dying to read Julie Anne Long’s It Happened One Midnight. Hopefully, I’ll have time to do so soon!
