The family reunion at my house is over and I miss everybody. It's so fun to have the chaos of extended family around at all hours and it makes me feel nostalgic for the
small town life we as a family have left behind.
I kept fresh sunflowers around at all times and I went for paper napkins for the really large dinners.

I made a new salad when everyone was here and it was so easy: fresh tomatoes, chopped fresh fennel and an entire jar of feta cubes packed in oil. Add lemon, salt and pepper and you are done.

Anyone reading
Go Set A Watchman? Not me, though I have my people on it (MrBP is reading it).
Right now I am obsessively reading
Karl Ove Knausgard's My Struggle, I'm just finishing book two. It's so good and I hardly understand why, it somehow meshes the deeply personal with a philosophical and very artistic viewpoint. His powers of description are completely amazing. I recommend.

Go Set A Watchman
I'm not reading it but don't worry I have my people on it. |
I have a new post up on
Frock Philosophy and it's all about The Nail Polish Index.
Apparently nail polish is leaving lipstick in the dust as far as economic indexes go, once again I have to recognize that
The Zeitgeist is a real thing, and doesn't necessarily apply solely to big ideas.
What's going on at your house, any family visits? Any paper napkins? Anyone else reading Karl Ove?
