Molly Update - September

It has been more than two months since Molly showed up at Mama's house, super skinny with horrible wounds after being attacked by an animal. Lauren and I took her to the vet July 3rd and Mama, Lauren, and Leslie gave Molly her medication twice a day for a few weeks. When Leslie and I took her back to the vet for her check-up, he told us that he didn't know if she was going to make it after seeing her the first time. After two months of eating properly, medication for her wounds, and a loving home, Molly is happy and looks great!! She has been spayed and has had her rabies and other shots. Molly and Mama have become good friends; she waits for Mama at the door and loves to purr.

Friday Night Fun

Michael, McKayla, and I went to Henderson, NC for dinner at Ruby Tuesday's Friday night. Our dinner was delicious (McKayla decided that she LOVED broccoli after I got her to try it off of my plate)! After that, Michael took us to a surprise place - Adventure Island for a round of putt-putt. We all had a great time playing together. Michael won and he and I each got a hole in one. McKayla got par on one hole! It was a fun way to spend a Friday night!

Bookshelf

I have always been an avid reader. I haven't been reading as much lately as usual, but I've read some pretty good books that I thought I would share.

What I've read and loved:

A Thousand Tomorrows by Karen Kingsbury
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
The Reader by Bernhard Schlink
Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
The Sunflower by Richard Paul Evans

I'm also reading the Sarah, Plain and Tall series with McKayla. We finished Sarah, Plain and Tall, are currently reading Skylark, and plan to read Caleb's Story next.

I am also currently reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. I haven't gotten very far yet, but already love it!

                                

Any suggestions on good books??

Thankful

Tonight before our devotional, Michael, McKayla, and I started "Thankful Thursdays", an idea we got from our devotional book. We have a notebook where, each Thursday, we write the things for which we are thankful. McKayla drew what she was thankful for and I thought it was cute - food and no tornadoes.. now, that's something to be thankful for!
