My husband and I have been on-the-road (well, on-the-road and in hotels) for the past week or so. We’ve been in Washington, D.C. (work for my husband, fun for me) and now we’re in North Carolina visiting our eldest daughter. She’s in the Army (for a few more months) and is looking for a job.
We will spend a couple days at home–then on to Chicago for a conference, Madison to visit our younger daughter, Iowa to visit more relatives and finally home for awhile!
When we travel I get to do lots of reading (a favorite activity, of course!) I’ve read two books by Deanna Raybourn, Lois McMaster Bujold books, Mary Balogh books and Angels’ Blood by Nalini Singh among others.
I’ve also found an Australian tv series–McLeod’s Daughters–on DVD. I’m watching it on my laptop computer. I’ve watched the first three seasons of McLeod’s Daughter so far and I’m enjoying it although I think I’m going to like the first two seasons best. It’s an Australian western (2001-2009) filmed on location in South Australia near Adelaide. I like to compare the westerns of the U. S. and Australia as well as the real U. S. west. I’m learning new words and meanings–stuffed, G’day, ute–and many more!
