Marcia, that is so sweet about the kids garden. I love that.

July 17th is fine with me. That will give me time to find the book and read some.

You should have seen the list of what the kids wanted int their garden. It included oranges, a horse and Scooby Doo. Too cute!

Marcia,

How encouraging! That is so cute about Scooby Doo and a horse.

The later start date is better for me. I just ordered the book online so as soon as it arrives I'll start reading. Are we starting a new forum or staying on this one? Have a great vacation! Dianne

Hi Ladies,
I am checking in from vacation in the Outer Banks in North Carolina! Technology is something - I am on the deck of the house overlooking the ocean and able to get a wireless signal on my laptop! It is very early - about 6:30 and no one else is up yet so this is quite the treat, we are here with two other families (16 people total, 10 kids and 6 adults!!!). We are quite outnumbered by the young ones so this trip keeps me on my toes!

So, in checking the other postings - June 18th it is for the start date of This Organic Life. I'll put the first question up next Sunday afternoon under the topic "This Organic Life Book Club" and I'll place a reminder post here about where we'll be chatting.

Hope everyone is well. Take care and talk to you soon!
All the best,
Tina

That sounds like a fabulous spot to be Tina. I will hopefully have my book by then, if not I will catch up. I'm looking forward to it, I have really enjoyed this forum.

I'm in the same boat as Amy. I ordered my book from Borders.com a week and a half ago, they billed my account, but no book yet! Who do you use for ordering online that's FAST? Dianne

Hi Ladies,
It is my last day here at vacation and it looks like we have another beautiful beach day ahead of us. The drive home will be long tomorrow, but this has truly been a wonderful trip.

Dianne, I order my books online from Amazon.com and buy the used book version if they have it. They are always great quality and I get them in about a week and half. If I don't buy used, Amazon.com will have it to me in three days or so. I bought This Organic Life used on Amazon.com from a Christian Charity in Washington State and was able to get it for $1.45! With shipping the whole order didn't top $5.

I am so excited we are all reading another book together! Talk to everyone Sunday!
All the best,
Tina

Hi Everyone,
I am going to post a new topic in a few minutes called "This Organic Life Book Club". It will be in the Reading Room section and I will add the first discussion question to the first post. Everyone can head over there for the new book as well as updates on how purchasing it are going (if some of you haven't gotten the book yet, just let me know and I'll hold off posting Chapter 2's question on Wednesday so we can all keep up). Talk to you in the new discussion thread!
All the best,
Tina
