It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are, and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit, comment, and add to that ever-growing TBR pile! So welcome, everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and was then taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.
Welcome to the final Monday of August. Seems impossible, but here we are. The crazy, exhausting schedule continues. Five upcoming closings, two more if the offers we placed over the weekend get accepted, and I consulted with two new buyers and sellers. At least this helps me get closer to my goal.
Great news is that our son-in-law is coming home this week! We are very excited. The Lil' Princess is back in school for her final year at UNCW. Here are a few photos from this week:
Bought the girls these great journals at a local art show
Saw some Travis napkins out shopping
Caught this duck hiding in a pond at a house we were viewing

The latest post at Laura's Little Houses shares my Season 9 rewrite link. I'm amazed at how much traffic the post is getting. I guess I'd better write a new chapter.
That's it for me this week. Hope to see you around the blogosphere earlier rather than later today. Thanks for visiting!
