Not sure why it hasn't received more attention.<br /><br />Iris - I am enjoying it quite a bit!<br /><br />Darlene - Even if I could somehow clear the schedule, I don't think I have enough stamina for the readathon! The pumpkin spice lattes do help though.<br /><br />Gavin - The Adirondacks were a little past peak color, but it didn't matter one bit. Such a gorgeous day!<br /><br />Marie - Coffee and reading at B&N is such a treat. I should really indulge more often!<br /><br />Margot - Like I said to Darlene, even if I had the time, not sure I could ever last that long!

Today was just beautiful..a little past peak in the mountains, but it didn't matter!<br /><br />Sandy - One of these times, I'll get to be involved in a readathon. For now, just too much happening at home! Just love Henry House so far!<br /><br />Stephanie - My hour and a half at B&N was a highlight of the day!<br /><br />Stacy - I'm loving Henry House, but ever expected to. When I'm finished, will have to research just how much of this stuff actually happened!<br /><br />Molly - Thank you! I guess not having the stamina (or concentration) for reading that long makes me a light weight, but I don't really mind. It was a beautiful day today, even though a little past peak.<br /><br />Laurel-Rain Snow - You MUST try a pumpkin spice latte before the season is over - it is my favorite!

Didn't like it much, though - too sweet. It reminded me of the time Dunkin Donuts asked me if I wanted sugar in my latte and I regrettably said yes.
