I’ve finished the books I had on my to-read shelf, and am finding myself without anything to read for my trip home on Tuesday. I’m calling out to you (yes, YOU!) to please suggest a great new read. Pretty please?

SHANNON!!!!!!!
1. I saw your pics you did for Stef’s family – - GASP – they are STUNNING and you ROCK!
2. Read LOVE WALKED IN by Marisa de los Santos, and as soon as you finish that, then read her next one called BELONG TO ME (story continues).
3. MISS YOU!

Looks like you are having a great time! What beautiful pictures!
I really liked The Host by Stephenie Meyer (better than the Twilight books). The first few chapters are hard to get into because it seems too sci-fi. But it’s a great story once you get going about human nature and such. Loved it.
I liked The Last Chinese Chef by Nicole Mones. And I haven’t read it yet, but my sister told me These Is My Words by Nancy E. Turner is really good.

Ok, I have NO suggestions. Sorry, I just haven’t been reading lately, but I had to comment that 2 times in the last 2 minutes (NO JOKE) I have gotten the recommendations for “Love Walked In” and it’s sequel, I’m gonna go with that.

I just read ‘Summers at Castle Auburn’ by Sharon Shinn and it was the most enjoyable story I’ve read for a long time.

I just read The City of Ember and The City of Sparks (YA/Kids books). I highly recommend them for ease and enjoyment. Also, Wallace Stegner’s The Angle of Repose, a great book.

I love Maeve Binchy books. Plus right now I am reading “The Beekeepers Apprentice” by Laurie King. It’s a Sherlock Holmes book, and so far really fun.

Not new, but The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd is good. A couple of new ones on my list: Song Yet Sung by James McBride, Little Heathens by Mildred Armstrong Kalish (nonfiction).
I found your Web page blog hopping. I love your photography!

I just read The Last Chinese Chef, and liked it immensely. If you’re a foodie, it’ll be amazing…

Secret life of bees, twilight series, the year of pleasures, the lottery, love walked in, the giver, princess academy, enna burning, goose girl, time traveler’s wife…I have shelves and shelves of books I love. if you’ve already read all of these let me know…I can get you more…
If you’ve been trying to reach me, I’m sorry I’ve been hard to get a hold of. You see, I’m spending the weekend in London. Yes, London. London, Kentucky. What on earth would bring me to London, Kentucky, you ask? Good question! My sister moved to Kentucky this summer. She wanted her family photos taken,...

Yea…you had to rub it in that I did not accompany you by posting the boulder. I will continue to think that you are staying in some rental somewhere unattainable so that my jealousy stays in check.

That is so scary about Franklin! I’m glad everything worked out ok. Your pictures are gorgeous as always:)
October 26, 2008 - 10:06 am
Wow, those pictures are amazing. I can’t believe that that is their back yard! I hope we can get out there sometime soon. I wish I would have known you were flying out, I have something for Andrea, but I guess I will just send it the snail mail way. Hope you have tons of fun and that Franklin is OK.

OK – When can I move to Kentucky????? Seriously? I could bypass the 85 degree weather in S. Cal today for that backyard in a second. Glad to hear Franklin is fine. Miss you! Call me when you get back so we can catch up.
October 26, 2008 - 1:32 pm
that is so beautiful! i wish i could go!!!!!!
October 26, 2008 - 1:47 pm
Yes, very normal with F. But freaky, tis true.

Shannon, very cool place! I love those pictures. I’m sorry to hear about Franklin. Did I ever tell you that’s why Kelsi was taking that medication that gave her the rash. She had 2 seizures this summer. It’s kinda scary huh? My order is coming soon BTW
October 27, 2008 - 12:27 pm
Wow! What a stunning place! I am so jealous! You are right – it’s like a vacation not somewhere you wake up to every single morning! They are very lucky!! Love the sock picture.

I just took Andrew in to have his blood drawn last week. I expected screaming and kicking, but just like Franklin, he didn’t show any signs of being a normal kid. He was so calm, and didn’t flinch once. What’s with these kids? They’re amazing!

Isaac had seizures the year he was 2. 1 minute never felt so long. He has a few during the year, and then has never had any more. Wacky, stuff. Hope he’s okay!

Man, those are awesome pictures. I wish I had a lake for my back yard, instead we have a square of cement. Maybe someday, but most likely not.
November 3, 2008 - 9:24 pm
I love your work! These pictures are beautiful!!!
November 8, 2008 - 12:10 pm
What a small world.. my parents have a lakehouse in London, KY!
Its beautiful there!
A little early for that, I know. But seriously, it’s time to think about Christmas. The last day for sessions to be done in time for Christmas is November 15. Any session scheduled after that may not make it in time for Christmas. As of today, I have one Saturday session and about 4 weekday...
