Pillars of the Earth

Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!! My dad just told me that they are making a movie (a miniseries) of the novel The Pillars of the Earth. I am 3/4 of the way through it now and I love it. Love.it.

Here is the website, if you’re interested.

What is your LEAST favorite book that you have read?

Oh my…I have stopped reading several books, but I have obstinately finished some terrible ones. Generally I don’t put down a book…if it gets someone reading, I’m happy! But I would have to say: I finished and really despised A Million Little Pieces, and mainly because the Author capitalized His Nouns. And as You can see, Toilet and Bedroom are not Things that need to be capitalized. Also I thought he was an arrogant jerk. Bear in mind, my opinion on this book has NOTHING to do with its level of truth; I believe an author has creative license to do whatever he wants to make a story compelling, and I could care less if he actually had Novocaine during his root canal. I just didn’t like the narrator, so I never connected with the book. [whew, that was long!]

Family Photos

Family photos are a lot more difficult when your family is made up of a bunch of adults.
First of all, you don’t all live together, or have the same schedule, and communicating about what to wear and where to go are much more difficult when there isn’t one central “boss.”

In 2009, J and I gifted his parents with a family photo session, and then a canvas gallery wrap of the finished product for their 30th anniversary. Later in the year, we also took family photos with my side. It was the first Christmas card for both sides with new family members, after the Christmas when they had a wedding picture to use! I love the sessions, shot by Jeff Woon, and I love that one feels like summer and the other feels so much like fall. Such different vibes in a state with no weather!

And the winners:

Wanna talk fashion? If you have family photos coming up…comment and we can discuss the lessons learned for getting a group of grown ups to match!

If you were given a brand new yacht, what would you name it?

Uhhh…this is a random question. Can yachts only be named something that no other yacht has been named? Can I name it something like "holycrapihaveayacht?" or "S.S. Korey is Awesome?"

Comments

I have gotten a lot of comments (but not on this blog) that people cannot figure out how to comment. I had previously not allowed comments from people who did not have a profile (AKA anonymous comments) to avoid trolls, but I changed that last night. Since comments are what keep blogs alive, comment away! 🙂

Because every post is better which a picture, here’s the Back Bay in Newport on Thanksgiving morning.
