Saturday afternoon

Hi guys! It has been quiet in here.

Thank all of you for the congrats for my son-in-law. As you can tell, we are very proud of him and grateful to have him in our lives. I don't know how long his term is--at least a year--but he could be reelected. It doesn't involve travel so much as more meetings to attend. But it is all part of the position. They will be having some fun events over the next year as it is their 100th anniversary year. Karen was able to attend the dinner when he was placed in office. And she tells me he gave a great speech.

Sandi--is the Good Father the one by Diane Chamberlain? I would like to read it but our library system hasn't gotten it in yet. As far as Elijah eating, as everyone has said, he'll eat when he is hungry. That's what the doc told my dd and sil about Jacob. He is still not a great eater but he is growing normally so his body is getting enough nutrition. He does love milk and fruit and hot dogs!

Cady--I hope Maggie is feeling better now. Especially with a long weekend to enjoy. Did you like The Kingdom?

Amanda--Phils are on a winning streak again! I hope it continues. The games against the Cardinals have been good ones. The weather was so nice then we got this humidity. But the sun is shining so I guess we shouldn't complain. ;-)

Margie--I too have lots of great photos from the pre-digital age. The good thing is I also have the negatives so that is something at least. I agree with you that Cheryl on DWTS hurt William's chances by a mediocre dance for their free-style. I have never read any Christie Craig books but have seen them recommended. I will have to check our library system.

Donna M--I have been enjoying the flag pictures. I'm glad you enjoyed the parade. Those hometown parades are great. I marched in ours (in my childhood hometown) as a Girl Scout and then in my high school band for many years. I always loved those parades the best because we knew so many of the people along the route.

As for my reading, I read about half of the Carole King book but had to return it. I will get it out again sometime. I read one of the Brenda Jackson books from Tell Har. --Solid Soul. It was ok, nothing special but a nice love story. I am now reading The Book of Love by Kathleen McGowen which is the second book in her Mary Magdalene trilogy. It is very good but long.

Our Memorial day weekend plans include a dinner out tonight with the hub. We are going to Outback. Tomorrow is veg day. Monday we are going to a BBQ at Karen's. I will be bringing dessert as usual. I hope all of you have fun plans and have a good time. Stay safe!
