Wow! 2010 . . . these are the years of Science Fiction. Growing up in the '70's, there were a lot of stories about the future. I remember teaching 1984 (by George Orwell) when it was 1984. I have a lot of hope for this year -- a lot of things to look forward to -- riding bikes with B, seeing L & R each month, D coming home, new grandbaby, cabin renovation finished, and so much more. Last year was a good year, but a sad year too. I still have trouble dealing with the loss of my mom . . . and then there's Arvil, MaKenzie, and other loved ones and friends. I want to believe this is a hopeful New Year!

I love you, and am grateful for all those people we've had in our lives. I feel that I'm better for knowing them. I miss Grandma too.
ReplyDeleteWow, you're on a roll with your books. Any you'd highly recommend?
I really liked Half-Broke Horses, but I think you should read The Glass House first. I also liked The Help.
