Our 'Out Loud' Reading.......

Every morning you will find us in the gazebo with our cups of coffee and our books. It is our routine. First we read the Bible and share thoughts and insights with each other. Next we have a devotional book we usually read a chapter from. Then I journal while Louis Dean scares away the squirrels and fills the bird feeders. He brings out fresh cups of coffee and we read from our 'current' book. We have read many books and covered a wide variety in the nearly six years we have been doing this. Mark Twain is a favorite author. The Shack was Louis Dean's all time favorite book. We also read and reread many childrens' classics......the Little House books, Frank Moody's stories among others. We read Patton. The one we just finished last night  was......

'An Epic Life   WILLIE NELSON' by Joe Nick Patoski.

I have to say we enjoyed NEARLY every word.

(Some I did not read out loud because I don't SAY some of these 'colorful' phrases!)

Willie Nelson truly did....and does....lead an epic life.

We admire him even more after reading this book.

My husband LOVES his music and he has 'discovered' many songs he had never heard before in the course of our reading. He  also embarked on a Memory Project thanks, in part, to Willie's song,

'I Just Drove By to See How Things Have Changed.'

Now I am looking through my stack of books for our NEXT adventure in Good READING!!
