It's all on account of the quilt

Admittedly I have been delinquent in my blog postings. I can't seem to
finish the quilt and therefore am ashamed to post. Well, now it's been so
long who cares? I WILL finish the quilt - I was determined to in the 12
hour car trip to New Mexico and then again in the 400 hour trip to
Virginia (I rounded up on that one - it SEEMS like that long), but I was
in reading mode and the creating hit the wayside. Don't think for one
minute that I didn't pack everything to work on though - yes siree I did take
up all that space!
Oh, well. I will post my new fav books so that you will have some reward
for coming to my blog. . .

The Glass Castle, a delightful memoir that will make
you feel better about any parenting mistakes you
might have made.


Waiting for Snow in Havana tells the story of Cuba
from the viewpoint of child growing up there during
Castro's rise to power. Wow! The language is a little
rougher than I like, but the real life story will amaze you!

Best-for-last scenario. This book takes a look at the Parable of the Two Sons and explains why God himself is prodigal. Really made me think. . .
Prodigal God by Timothy Keller.
