All Creatures Great and Small, James Herriot (non fiction)
Herriot warmly details the days and nights of a young country veterinarian in rural England in the 30’s. A really lovely, comforting read and I believe there are two more in the series. soon. soon.
what i lack in dedicated studying i seem to make up for with confident test taking. i listened to “for once in my life” by Stevie Wonder about 5 times on my way into school yesterday, arrived in a great mood and proceeded to kick a** on the HESI (a practice exam for the nursing state boards). Thank you to everyone who has prayed for me…I’m leaning on the faith of others….and I appreciate you.
I don’t think Stacy expected that I would commandeer our food choices while visiting this weekend, but so far she’s been happy with the arrangement. Last night we went to the North Star Cafe (thanks for the suggestion Karen) which is such a cool place that they don’t bother having a sign (that made for a *charming* drive up and down High Street) and was still fairly full at 9:30 when we showed up. I had an amazing Korma bowl with tofu and vegetables and Stac got a Honey Barbeque Burrito. Lunch today was at Benevolence. Mary Anne and I once drove an hour and a half out of our way when I moved back from Florida to have lunch there. Is salad and bread worth an hour and a half drive? Yes, with an emphasis on yes. We got dessert from a baker at the North Market. Tomorrow I’ll be back to yogurt and salad, but simple food just gives me an appreciation for good stuff.
