If I stay up late at night, then it takes me longer to get moving in the morning. Did you get Kendall Hailey's book at the library or did you buy it? I haven't checked the library. That looks interesting. I like it when you tell us what you are reading. Often, I have never heard of these books. So, I check them out and sometimes add them to my ever-lengthening list. Enjoy the beautiful weather! We have clothes on the line and the windows open. : ) Cindy, if you do manage to stay awake at night, due to caffeine or whatever, do you have a hard time waking in the morning?

I constantly remind myself to make eye contact, make eye contact, don't look at the book.... Definitely relate to the talkative children.

In case you missed it, here's the recipe for my morning mocha: Fill a tall travel mug or large coffee mug 3/4 full of coffee Put in 2 packets Splenda Stir in small amount of cocoa powder (a little less than 1/2 tsp. maybe, the tip of a spoon's worth) Fill cup to top with half and half Optional: put whipped cream (the real stuff, now, no Cool Whip) on top and sprinkle with a tiny bit of cocoa sugar Believe it or not, that's low carb and I consider it a health drink. The cocoa has proven health benefits, as does the coffee, which also acts as the elixir of life for a tired mother ;-). I have had the falling asleep over my books problem, too, Cindy. I also have the children who want to talk to me ALL day long issue whenever I try to concentrate on a book. But, like Winston Churchill, I will never, never, never, give up...even if it takes months to finish a serious book. Somehow, those light mysteries only take a day to read :-) The coffee tastes better with some chocolate in it and whipped cream on top. In case you missed it, here’s the recipe for my morning mocha:

I don't have either set. I checked out this first vol from the library on a whim. The sets are going on Ebay for about $250. I haven't seen what the Harvard Classics are selling for recently. The GC set has a 10 year reading plan that looks intriguing. I have wondered this myself. I don’t have either set. I checked out this first vol from the library on a whim.

I have those (the HC) and am about ready to give them up! Had never heard of the GC set, though have read "How to Read a Book". How does The Great Conversation compare to the Harvard Classics?
