I wrote about wanting to find a Garden themed coloring book for husband. We hadn't checked the mail yesterday but this morning when he got the paper- there was a big envelope in the mailbox- postmarked on the 8th... one Town over..... across the bridge.
A lovely coloring book of gardens. I actually have no idea who, locally, reads this blog. I assumed no one. But someone does and..well, thank you.....he loves it. It's perfect.... and so are YOU!!! And the back of each page is blank so he can slide a thin cardboard under each image and use his ink pens (they bleed thru on regular pages). He Loves using the pens.
I'm reading On Rotation by Shirlene Obuobi. A Medical student. Struggling. And a guy she meets in a public garden and he asks if he can draw a picture of her. They suddenly see each other everywhere, Especially in the hospital where he is a regular volunteer in the children's ward. The relationship is really difficult.... they are both damaged goods. Lots of emotional turmoil. I've read it before. I think I wrote about it here- it's a difficult book. But they fall in love...so I'm okay with it.
I finished the The Bookstore. Deborah Meyler. New York City Used Book Store. There was no happy ending. She has the baby. She walks the baby in the "pushcart" (she's British) down the street and happens upon the baby's father eating lunch at an outside table with a good friend or relative. He won't look at the child. He wants nothing to do with it......she goes into work. The book ends.
I think this is how Life really is.
Unless someone sends your husband a great coloring book.
