Sunday morning

Hi guys!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. We are here. Penn State won their game last night and that makes the hub happy. Today we will be watching NFL football all day. I am also making a big pot of chili this afternoon. That will give us several meals. The weather has been very fall-like since a couple days of rain. Today is a typical beautiful late October day. I finished reading Fifty Shades of Grey yesterday. I am still thinking about what I think about it. It was an intriguing, dark, sometimes disturbing book but it did have some humor. Mostly it made me sad while reading it. The reasons for Christian Grey's lifestyle are hinted at and are sad. Ana is an innocent when she meets him and it makes me sad that she is completely beguiled by him but at the same time I can understand. I will probably read the other two books because the first one leaves the reader hanging and you do want to see what ultimately happens to these two. The writing is not that great but tolerable. Although the book is over 500 pages it doesn't take long to read. I started reading Twilight Whispers, an older Barbara Delinsky book.

Cady--I hope that Maggie's teacher did get back to you. It is good you are getting her eyes checked. So often that is the problem and is easily remedied. Sounds like Luke got a good report. I think I remember that Maggie got an American Girl doll for one of her birthdays--how old was she? I have been considering getting Lauren one for Christmas. Of course I will talk to Karen about it first.

Trudy--it sounds like you need a big hug! I hope you are feeling better. That is cool about Celtic Thunder at the Pentagon.

Margie--did you have the yard sale this weekend? Hope it went well.

Donna H--congrats on a good report from your doctor. That is always a good thing. I hope your daughter Joy is ok after her fall.

Sandi--thanks for the birthday wishes for Lauren. It is hard to believe how quickly the years go by. I can remember when Cady was pregnant with her kiddos too. I love musicals too and would love to see more. Karen enjoys them too so I have someone to go with to the shows. Glad all went well with bookclub at your home. Yes, the lady in the wheelchair should have read your email.

Amanda and Donna M--I hope all is well with you and you check in soon.

Everyone enjoy the rest of your weekend.
