Observing Literacy in July at our Wallowa Lake Lodging

Madigan sends:

My observing literacy program has been slowing down a little lately at our Wallowa Lake lodging. I'm not surprised. It's summer and most of the guests at our Joseph bed and breakfast are more interested in getting outside and hiking rather than staying on the porch and reading a book. Last week we even had guests that hiked all the way to Ice Lake and back in just one day!

So here's an abbreviated reading list:

Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating by Mark Bittman

The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid

Loving Frank by Nancy Horan (I saw this one on the porch in June too)

I think food matters. Every morning I start with a little wedge of Iams pate-style chicken or fish (don't care for beef or lamb). I follow that up with just a splash of concentrated Meyerberg goat milk (can you say "goat milk"? Yum!). Then it's off to the bathrooom for a drink of water, a brushing and a treat of hairball remedy.

Time for a snooze, then I'm ready to observe more literacy.

Life doesn't get much better than this!
