This week was almost a bust. I say almost because I actually finished a book!
I finished Reba’s Comfort from a Country Quilt. I really enjoyed it. Like a patchwork quilt the chapters are short; some just two or three pages, and are in no particular order. They are just short little anecdotes about different times in Reba’s life. I could almost hear her voice as she described the joy of being a mother, horror of losing her band, and the love for what she does. I laughed and cried right along with her. It’s a great find.
Because we have been hit with severe winter weather the last few weeks, Ed and I have traveled only when we had to, so we didn’t do any real book hunting. We’re supposed to get better temperatures this week, so hopefully we’ll get out on his days off. He was borrowing from my waiting list tonight before he went to work
I also set him up so he can write on this blog as well. I hope to get him contributing soon. He asked if there is a word processing program on the spare computer, so I know he’s thinking about writing something.
I’m trying to get my nine year old daughter Katherine interested in reading some of the books I did when I was her age, but I kind of have to be sneaky about it. She loves horses and I think I read everything Walter Farley and Margueritte Henry wrote. I’ve managed to replace a few of the ones I had before, and hope to get her started soon. I’ll let you know how it goes.
