The two best Christmas gifts I received this year involved reading. The first was a beautiful love letter from Ed, too personal to share, and the second was a book from my sister.
My sister, like my mother and middle son, has serious reading comprehension problems. They have to read something over and over again to fully understand it. Needless to say, reading isn’t something they really enjoy. As far as she can remember, she has never finished a book, but she knows that I love them. The book she bought me is called…”Sisters” Essays by Carol Saline and Photographs by Sharon J. Wohlmuth.
What a lovely, lovely book! Yes, I had to start it. It contains short essays about sisters and the bonds they share, and includes some letters and stories about some rather well known ladies such as Coretta Scott King and her sister Edythe. The photographs are fabulous too. This would make a nice coffee table book. Oh, and bring the Kleenex.
When my sister called tonight, I asked if she had looked at it, and she said she had “read through it”. I told her I loved it, and she said she was glad.
I’m going to take a few days off from the blog. I have a major writing project in the works and its going to need most of my attention. I’ll be back in a few days to let you know how I’m doing with what I’m reading now and anything new I’ve discovered. We might check in with Ed too and see what he’s reading. Until next time.
