Sunday Letter

Happy October, Sunday Letter friends!

To quote Dr. Seuss—How did it get so late so soon? Doesn’t that about sum it up?

Remember how the school year used to last forever when you were a kid? My sister and I could make our Halloween haul last until Santa put chocolate candy in our stockings, and summer felt like a geological era away.

Oh, those days are long gone. We’ve blinked and suddenly

Quotes by Talya Tate Boerner  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Three Mississippi, Four Mississippi… Tucking Barbie underneath the throw pillow on my lap, I traced my finger over the red blooms that covered my library book. Abby, my little sister, lay dozing on the opposite end of the couch, sprawled flat on her back. She had a way of sleeping through anything—a loud television show, or even one of Momma and Daddy’s late-night arguments.”
Talya Tate Boerner, The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee

“spot on the couch, I listened to the nightly sounds of our house, as familiar as the hymns we sang every Sunday morning at Boon Chapel. The crack of the ice tray. The opening of the silverware drawer with its earsplitting creak. As Momma reheated Daddy’s supper, the smell of fried potatoes and salt pork filled the air. Abby and I had eaten hours ago. When Daddy worked extra late, Momma”
Talya Tate Boerner, The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee

“It was funny the memories a person held onto, fuzzy flashes of life that stood out because the people inside them made them meaningful.”
Talya Tate Boerner, Bernice Runs Away

“In the morning light, I remembered how much I loved the sound of wind through the trees. I laid back and closed my eyes, and I was comforted by the sound of a million tiny leaves dancing on a summer morning.”
Patrick Carman, The Tenth City
