Two Old Women: Book Review

One day, I was browsing the bookshelves of my local library looking for something interesting to read. There’s one particular shelf in an adult section of the library that I like to browse all the time, and it’s one that has books of myth, folklore, and fairytales . I eventually found a book that I had never heard of or read before; Two Old Women . Two Old Women is a book written by Velma Wallis .

Callaway Gardens Butterfly Center

My family and I went to Callaway Gardens today for my birthday, and I took some photos while we were there.

I was having some trouble taking pictures of some of the butterflies because they were flying around fast, but I was able to take some photos and videos of them. We then got some slushies afterward. 
We also went to the Callaway Country Store and Kitchen and ate there, but the food wasn't really that good, and some of the staff were a bit rude. But we did have a nice view of the trees from where we were sitting. 
After that, we went to a bookstore and I got "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" by Suzanne Collins. 
Today was a very nice day.
