 Alright, sounds good. Yeah, we'll talk soon. Alright, bye. Starting the vlog at 4.31pm. Working on the patio out here. And be careful. Be careful, everybody. If you make fun of rompers, you might end up in rompers. Thank you, Diane. You all know Diane, big fan of the vlog now, for making me laugh at myself. Appreciate it. That was hilarious when I got that. I don't know, do you have photoshop skills? That's amazing. Alright, here goes nothing. Will this fit around the beam up in the carport? Remember I bought these four or five days ago at Home Depot? Home Depot. But we're gonna give it a shot. Come on, come on. Yes, perfect. Here we go. Apologies on the view. Apologies on the view. The sun is setting. The lights are almost done. But before the sun sets, I want to answer some questions that are rolling in from yesterday's vlog. Remember the question of the day yesterday was basically, what do you want to ask me? You can ask me anything. So Diane and Andrew asked the exact same question. And obviously they didn't communicate because they live in different countries. So it was all about, let me just read it real quick. What book are you currently reading? And then what is your all-time favorite book or books? Bridget, if you'd like to answer those also, I would love to hear. And then that's exactly what Andrew was gonna ask. And first, okay, what am I reading right now? Great question. As you probably have noticed in the vlog, in the house, in the living room, we have lots of books. We love our books. That's a good line from The Hobbit, I believe. I miss my books. I miss my books. I think Bilbo said that. Like, I just love books. Now I do enjoy the occasional sporting event on TV. I love the Broncos as you know. I love watching them. But man, books, you just like, you enter in and it's just like you can be entertained and stimulating your good old noggin nonstop. So okay, book number one that I'm reading. Well, you already know about this and it's taking a while. It's called The 1927 New York Yankees. You all know I'm a huge New York Yankees baseball fan. In fact, I'm listening to them right now as I put up the lights. So it's called The Greatest of All, The 1927 New York Yankees. That's what I'm reading right now. Also, you might enjoy this. Andrew and everyone else in the UK. I'm also reading The Voices of Morbath. So you may not know that I studied history in college. I thought I was gonna become a history teacher. That's what I thought my career path was gonna be, a history teacher. So I love history. And actually, you guys don't even know this, but I love English history. I really do. So that's a whole other topic for another day. But right now I'm reading The Voices of Morbath. Which Morbath, Andrew you probably know and many other people, is in the southwest corner of England. So two great books right there. Now on to the other topic, my favorite book of all time. Come on. Are you really asking that question? Are you really asking that question? I can't break it down into genres or fiction or non-fiction. Holy smokes. So as you know, I love history. So, okay. I gotta collect myself. I do love John Steinbeck. He's an American author. He's not alive anymore. But he wrote fiction. And he wrote a lot about the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. That happened back in the 1930s here in the United States. I love his style of writing. I love his character development. The Grapes of Wrath. A great book. He's probably his most famous book. But I actually prefer The East of Eden by John Steinbeck. It's probably definitely a top three book. It's just like, it's human. It's the struggle of the human experience essentially. And how we're all fighting to get through this world. Anyway, I digress. John Steinbeck, East of Eden. Okay. Now, but this book, so I love World War II history. You should also know that this is by Gerda Wiseman Klein. A memoir all but my life. And basically, this is about a Jewish lady who escaped when she was a young girl from the Nazis. She escaped. And I do love real stories of heroism. People that just are badass. I don't know how else to say it. If I'm ever feeling tired or sad or down or, oh, my life is so hard. I just read a little bit of this book. This book will make you tough. Like this little girl survived so much during the Holocaust as did so many others. This book is just one of many, many examples. Okay. I'm going to stop. I could go on and on and on about it. But this is one of my favorite books all but my life by Gerda Wiseman Klein. It's a memoir. But then what I'm reading right now, here we go. The Voices of Morbath and The Greatest of All. All right. One more task for the day, planting this rose bush right there. Planting the rose bush that I bought a couple days ago for the car port. I'm just grateful to be able to do this, you know, reflecting back to Memorial Day and reflecting back to us making the decision to switch to cash envelopes. So I'm buying this rose bush, which I'll just tell you was 40 bucks. Like, that's not cheap. But we did it in cash. And as you know, it's time to do things, get things done when the boys are asleep, true love is asleep. All right. Enough talking. Start digging. I'll turn the lights on in about an hour when it gets dark. Good connect to the earth in my humble opinion. All right. So that's what I'm trying to do with the boys. Our boys, Joseph and Seth, with true love going camping. Like, it's good to get away from this so that we can remember that we're human beings and we're part of this bigger plan and this bigger beautiful world. So plant stuff, you know, just plant stuff, go out and plant stuff. It could be it could be dandelions in your backyard, whatever you want to do. Just go like dig, get dirty, get dirt under your fingernails. All right. So anyway, I'm excited. Oh, seek beauty. Love each other. We'll see you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. Work hard is first. Take beauty's first. We're working on it. We're working on it. Hey, come on now. Come on now. Come on now.
