Monday I finished The Confessions of Saint Augustine which was incredible. It is long (I have been reading it off and on for a year now), but worth the time and effort it takes.
Then Tuesday, I finished Toilers of the sea, which was also long. Victor Hugo, as is his custom, takes awhile to describe a number of sights and scenes and characters, but his work truly is beautiful and wonderfully tragic. The last words of this book are, "At the moment when the vessel vanished on the horizon, the head disappeared under the water. There was nothing left but the sea." Cue chills.
Wednesday, more Latin grammar.
Thursday, waffles for breakfast. Friday morning, my Dad and I woke up early in the morning and went fishing. The beach was beautiful, so I naturally did not have my camera with me.
And today I turned these drapes into valences.
That was my week!
Oh Hannah, you put me to shame. I have about 5 books I need to finish! I just skimmed through Andrew Peterson's last book of the series "The Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness" (Ithink). Anyway, I did not do it justice. But you have inspired me to finish books this summer. September is fast approaching....so.
