The TARDIS
Totally Awesome Reading Dispensary In Society
I loved re-reading this classic on my own September vacation this year. Though mine wasn't a fortnight (hooray for the USA 🙃) it was such a needed getaway. I was again struck by the small, beautifully rendered details of the book, and how, along with the general break in routine and surroundings, it was the time and space to be on their own that was the true means by which each family member was able to refresh and refill their mental energy.
So much happened in Emma while I was in the woods! Most recently Frank Churchill still hasn't arrived to celebrate his father's marriage. Mr. Knightley tears him to shreds while Emma's all, "Lay off, he's sure to be charming!" To be fair, Emma knows a thing or twelve about "tempers to manage" and cuts Frank some slack. After managing her entire family's emotional load just a few chapters ago during the dinner from Hell, her outlook totally tracks.
It's been getting more and more chilly here in Michigan, so I'm very happy to take advantage of a sunshine-y day with some reading in the garden! Tirzah Price's latest Austen mystery was slow to start for me, but then suddenly I found I'd read more than 200 pages all at once. 😂 Planning to finish out the day with the final third of a different take on Fanny Price and, let's face it, probably a cocktail at some point. Happy Saturday, friends!
Perfect day on Lake Michigan with the best of friends and the tagged book, which is a total delight, btw! I already know I'll be reading the whole series. #PureMichigan #CurrentlyReading
The #TallShips are once again sailing the #GreatLakes this summer! A port host city this year was Detroit, MI #MittenLitten, not too far from home. There were four ships, but only three could be boarded while docked for tours. I‘m wearing a Her Universe POTC dress with pockets!
