The July photo-a-day challenge starts today!

If you are planning on participating in this challenge with me, feel free to copy the picture of the themes, save it to your computer, post it on your page, etc.

As a review: 

The rules are very simple. Take a photo each day that matches the theme of the day. Please keep your photos family friendly.

There are different ways you can post your challenge photos: post your day's photo each day, wait and post a whole week at a time, or wait until the end of the month and post them all at once.

You can blog your photos, put them on instagram, upload them to an online photo album, or any other place where photos can be posted.

This link-up will stay open all month long. You can link-up as many Photo-a-day Challenge posts as you have. Only family friendly photos, please!

Sisters Book Challenge: A Year Down Yonder

Book 2

A Year Down Yonder by Richard Peck

I started this book on a Sunday night and I think by Monday I was finished. It was an easy to read book plus the story was one that got you interested. 

The story is about Mary Alice who goes to stay with her grandmother in a small Illinois town during the Great Depression. Her Grandma Dowdel is quite the character and Mary Alice is a little afraid of her. Soon after she arrives, she starts having many exciting adventures. What started out as a time for Mary Alice to endure, turned into a wonderful experience she will never forget.

After loving this book I want to read the other book Richard Peck wrote about Mary Alice and her grandma, A Long Way from Chicago.
