It's me again...

Sorry I haven't been blogging in awhile.  I guess I got out of the habit.  Today was a beautiful Fall day in the low 70's.  I went out and cut the lavender from my lavender bush.  For the last few years I've been making lavender sachets with the lavender from my bush.  It's easy to do and the sachets smell so wonderful and last for such a long time. 

I've also been catching up with the book I've been reading.  It's John Grisham's first non-fiction book called The Innocent Man.  It's the story of Ron Williamson of Oklahoma who ends up on death row for a crime he evidently did not commit.  I'm curious to see if he gets out on appeal or is executed for the murder of a twenty-one-year-old cocktail waitress.  This book is as compelling as any of John Grisham's fictional legal thrillers.  I'll let you know how it ends.

2011 Emmy's

The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards will be broadcast on Sunday, September 18.  The show will be broadcast on the Fox network this year.  Jon Hamm and the gang at Mad Men have been nominated again.  I think Jon should be looking for a place to display his Emmy as his work was outstanding as usual but especially good this year.
