Windy Fall Day over Lake Michigan

Beautiful Windy Day Lake Michigan

The wind gusts blew up to 50 miles an hour in South Haven, Michigan today. It was cold! The waves were so powerful that were crashing over the lighthouse. As I took these pictures, I almost could not hold my camera still due to the powerful wind over Lake Michigan.

I ordered a Kindle today!

I hope I like it! I watched Oprah go on and on about her Kindle. I have been debating and thinking about buying one for several weeks. Since I am on airplanes and due to the luggage restrictions, I am struggling with the book issues for awhile now. Does anyone have a Kindle? What do you think? Like it? Love it? Dislike?

Shared Reading Links

A reader requested some specific ideas for Shared Reading. I thought I would link the ideas I have posted all over the blog here. I will post more ideas later in the week too.
