We're home!

Well, after a crazy break, we return to our beautiful apartment in the basement of the Davy's home, and we are happy. The weather was threatening our travels every step of the way, but it never amounted to anything when we needed to drive. The times with family were spectacular, and we are so blessed by being around them.

Heather's blog mentioned a dislike for setting resolutions for the new year, and I couldn't agree more, BUT (there's always a but) I need to set a goal for this year. I will read these books. All of them.



The best books in the bunch are going to be "Travels with Charlie" by Steinbeck, "The Far Pavilions" by M. M. Kaye, and "The Reason for God" by Tim Keller.

The books I'm afraid of are "Armageddon" by Leon Uris, and "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. (Side note AND plug for Google: Both the names "Aleksandr" & "Solzhenitsyn" were already part of the dictionary because it didn't put little "squiggle-lines" under them.)
