Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman

June is crazy busy.  Just a quick note since the girls at book club liked my quotes collected from Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman so much.  A great summer read if you're looking for one.

And last but not least, a knitting quote.  I hope this doesn't happen to me...:
