I've been feeling like I live on Fraggle Rock lately because this is the view from my kitchen window. They're tearing down the outdated Hawthorne Safeway to build an updated version. I felt like it deserved the spotlight today because my apartment was shaking so much from the machines, you'd think there was an earthquake. I like it when they cement though because that's real quiet and you hardly notice they're out there. The machines kick up a lot of dirt (from the mound of dirt they stockpiled right next to the apartment), and the dirt gets into my windows, into the bathtub and on the kitchen floor. I just keep telling myself how good it will be when I can just walk around the corner to grocery shop again.
I have finished
The Help (such a sweet book!) and I have started reading a new novel. I ran into it at Powell's Books today and I got so excited because the author, Loretta Stinson, was my advisor when I was thinking about majoring in English at Portland State! I am excited to see what her novel will be like. It is called
Little Green and it is set here in the Northwest.
