Step to the Music

Step to the Music - is a wonderful book written back in 1953!  I read it for the first time as an 8th grader in middle school. 

The book is a delicious read set during the Civil War.  Abbie, is desperately in love with Douglas.  And she is pretty sure she is going to marry him, too.  That is, until Lorena shows up and charms every man in town, including Douglas.   Not only that, Lorena is from the South, with Southern Sympathies, and slowly sways Douglas to the rebel side. 

Life is not so easily planned, nor as simple as Abbie once thought.  What will happen to her now, and will she ever find love?  4**** stars!

I totally felt like a Southern Belle in this outfit, and thought it would match perfectly with a book set during the Civil War.

Also, we had fun during our Spring Break doing art every day.  One day we had to paint a picture telling a story.  I decided to do it too.  My story was when we were walking on our lawn one summer night and found a beautiful Milk Snake.  I hate snakes, but this snake was truly beautiful. 

Now, spring break is over, and sadly, we have all gotten extremely sick, so we've been watching movies for 2 days straight.  That is all the news from me today! 

Have a great day!
