Share Four Somethings - August 2019

This post contains affiliate links.

August was full of so much to love and many things to learn! We kept very busy, mostly with vacations and preparing for the new school year to come. Time to look back and pick out Something Loved, Something Said, Something Learned, and Something Read to share today.

Something Loved

Vacation time that included family time and many beautiful sights and experiences.

We went to a church camp for a weekend and did a concert of worship music. We visited our son and his family and had fun with our granddaughter. We visited conservatories and gardens and an art museum. We were able to take friends of Kennady's with us to a couple of those conservatory experiences - it was her Summer of Kennady vacation, after all!

At Franklin Park Conservatory, Columbus, Ohio

At Duquesne Incline, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

At Rawlings Conservatory, Baltimore, Maryland

Something Said

Knowing a person is like music, what attracts us to them is their melody, and as we get to know who they are, we learn their lyrics.  ~Unknown

Something Learned

I actually learned quite a bit about plants, as you might imagine! I especially enjoyed the orchid houses. The Baltimore Museum of Art was an educational experience as well. My husband and I were both very interested in the mosaic sections from Antioch and the methods used to excavate these large pieces that are a couple thousand years old, and how they were restored and transported.

Something Read

I completed four books in August, but only three of the reviews are up so far. You can see more about my reading in my Monthly Bookshelf Review for August 2019.

An Artless Demise (A Lady Darby Mystery) by Anna Lee Huber
