BUT
The ironing can just wait,
The Quilt pieces will keep,
I'll write dust me on the dresser.
And sit or lay down and read.
I love this book, I don't want it to end.
I want it to end happy, it is part fiction
and part true. It is basted on Nancy Turner's
great-grandmothers history of getting to Arizona
and life on the ranch.
A must read first is in the back of the book
"GOOD TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT"
So you will know the fiction, I didn't care , her
fictional husband was so much like some one I
know it was real to me.

So happy you are enjoying the book. I love to find a good one! I wish you and Bennie a blessed weekend. xoxo
Yep...so good! Now read Sarah's Quilt! :-)
This sounds like a great book, even the title attracts me.
I'm going to get that one this weekend! I read one last year called "Trials of the Earth," which was a diary set over about Sunflower/Greenwood/Parchman as they moved around keeping boarding houses, mostly for loggers or working-men, and sometimes just in tents in lumber camps, where she would feed fifty men three meals a day (200 biscuits before 5 a.m., off a stove in a TENT!) (That stove would also figure greatly in the Great Flood which overtook their camp).
I was simply fascinated by her determination and her resolve and way of looking at even the worst parts of life. (trying to imagine peeling all those potatoes gives me a headache).
Y'all stay SWEET, now!

Sounds like you are reading a good book. It is fun to get lost in one for sure. I am reading a Debbie Macomber Christmas "On A Snowy Night" right now...lol. Maybe because it is so hot, I thought I could cool off reading about Christmas.
That looks like a book I would like, too!
Enjoy your read, patsy, I have read books that I didn't want to end too! Have a blessed weekend!,
