This weekend I finished two books that I highly recommend.
The first was a nonfiction story of Hmong culture in Merced, California colliding with the culture of western medicine. The story centers around a little girl with epilepsy and how cultural difference between east and west influence her life story. "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" by Anne Faridan.
The second, now a movie that I want to see with Emma Stone starring, is "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. Started it Saturday, did not stop reading until I was done with it on Sunday. Wonderful read.
House currently smells like vegetable stock which is cooking on the stove, and blueberry muffins which I baked this morning. My back is killing me, not because I have been working too hard, but because I have been reading in bed for nearly 24 hours straight. I feel like my muscles atrophied over that course of time.
Fall is definitely my favorite time of year because I start to settle in to my house to be cozy and warm. And its football season. Who knew I would be the one excited about football season. Wow how we change and grow throughout our lives!
