Since this is a reread it must be good? <br /><br />I just saw the book a few weeks ago at the store and wondered about it. I am going to check your blog to see if you've done a review on it.Susanhttp://fruitfulwords.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-47813867889707818902012-12-17T19:10:40.989-07:002012-12-17T19:10:40.989-07:00So glad you got to go out with your friend.

I know it must be hard to have your boy away, I hope it doesn't take the shine off Christmas too much for you.

I have to admit I've got the lot and food to buy, but at least I wrote half the cards today and posted them. xxxxxsnowbirdhttp://www.gardensandwildlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-61161190657064238022012-12-14T12:20:19.184-07:002012-12-14T12:20:19.184-07:00Hurray for your son's job!

I don't know why I never thought of burning a candle. Thanks for the idea, Susanne.<br /><br />What a bittersweet time it is for you regarding your one son's new job. This is the first year I won't wake up with any children here for Christmas. It's okay. but a little sad.<br /><br />Spending time with friends is always a plus especially when yummy food and laughter are involved.<br /><br />Have a great weekend, Susanne. <br /><br />And thanks again for hosting this fff. It is usually the one time each week that I purposefully stop to think about the week's blessings. In fact for this week, I was surprised to "discover" all the ordinary blessings that filled my week!Susanhttp://fruitfulwords.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-77989270472047446282012-12-14T08:52:36.590-07:002012-12-14T08:52:36.590-07:00Such a nice feeling to be done with Christmas shop...Such a nice feeling to be done with Christmas shopping. We're pretty much done. I was going to buy a shirt for one but haven't gotten to the mall yet -- may just do a gift card. :-) The older they get, they more they like to pick out their own things.<br /><br />The reading and birthday time out together sounds fun. I've seen a few "reader's theater" type productions that were so good they made me forget I wasn't seeing it acted out with sets and costumes.<br /><br />Glad your son got a job in his field and that he'll be home and can celebrate his birthday in a few weeks.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-78410146656589794822012-12-14T08:09:09.427-07:002012-12-14T08:09:09.427-07:00Oh I'm not done yet - but I made good headway ...Oh I'm not done yet - but I made good headway yesterday!<br /><br />Congratulations to your boy!!
