Scene of the Blog-- Michele of A Reader's Respite!

This week we're taking a trip to beautiful Washington state to visit with Michele of A Reader's Respite. I have to admit that her blog design is one of my favorites. I love her sense of humor, and since I'm a little slow, it took me two visits to the Respite before I learned not to drink my caffeine free Diet Pepsi while reading her posts. Diet Pepsi up your nose just isn't an Emily Post thing to do when visiting such a classy blog!

Like many other book bloggers, Michele is a busy wife and mother, but her occupation is just a tad different: she's an airline pilot. (If I were ever on one of her flights, I wonder if I'd be brave enough to run the old chestnut "Did we land, or were we shot down?" past her?)

Enough of my jawing! It's time to satisfy our inner Peeping Toms and take a look at where Michele does her blogging! As usual, click on the photos if you'd like to see them full size.

This is where I spend most of my days, getting random flashes of brilliance which I then forget before I can jot them down.

This is our household's infamous "Mom's Chair." No one dares sit there except Mom. Ever. It's generally where Mom blogs when she's not flying.

This is a photo of my blogging computer with a paperback on it to give size perspective....it's a tiny little thing.

Can I be honest here and say that looking at that cockpit gives me the shakes? I've always said that I'd love to learn to fly, but I'm really referring to something like an old bi-plane. (What can I say? I saw Out of Africa a few too many times!)

I smiled when I read about the Mom's Chair. My own mother had a chair with an unwritten--but very well known--rule just like that. Michele's chair looks almost too comfortable. I can see myself curling up there with a book and then nodding off. And that netbook is almost microscopic! As foggy as I am when I first wake up, there's no way I could even see that first thing in the morning, let alone find the keys to type on it!

Thanks so much, Michele, for letting us take a peek at your creative space. We really appreciate it! Where are we going next Wednesday? Let me give my globe a twirl.... We'll be visiting England to take a peek at where Lindsay creates Books Do Furnish a Room!
