Although it is beautifully written, it makes me sad because of the end of the story. Merme Merme, I'm going to suggest that for my book club. I love biographies. The life of Mary Todd is more interesting than people that people ever realized. Our group has one lady who only wants to read fluff so every other month we read silly stuff. So we won't be able to read it for a while.

It was quite well done & she was able, extraordinarily enough, to make Marie Antoinette a sympathetic character. Lots of potential topics for discussion with that book... Maxi & I enjoyed yakking about it. Merme We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

hisgal2 HandyMa'am Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 4,236 17762	Tomorrow morning I'm leaving to drive to Philadelphia, so I decided to swing by the library after my hair cut and borrow a book on cd. I like to listen to books while I drive. I am not very familiar with authors...tho I did recognize John Grishom and there were a ton of his books available on cd. I decided I wanted something suspenseful and somewhat mysterious, so I borrowed Lost Souls by Lisa Jackson. I'm on disc 3 of 12 and it is pretty good so far. So far the story has described the main characters, the location, the history or background of the characters, and has gotten in to some of the plot. Can't wait to hear what happens next tomorrow morning as I travel!

We only ever listen to the local Christian radio station here and if we are chatting, we just turn the music down. The kids like to also listen to the music. Sheri~ when I was in 6th grade, I memorized the entire book of James....VERY good book if your going to memorize one...and only 5 chapters long. I call that one the "Instruction Manual for Life"...I remember alot of it to this day, tho I just told Stephen a couple of weeks ago that I'd like to re-memorize it. I'm on disc 6 of the book now. I couldn't get the cd player to work correctly the entire drive down to Philadelphia...SOOOO annoying! I had to constantly flip to find a decent radio station for the entire drive. Then this morning when I left, I realized that the cd player was set to random. So I got through 2 discs on the way home. Can you imagine that "duh" moment!? I felt like such an idiot....but good thing nobody else was there to see my reaction!!! Great flower show, btw. I'm uploading pictures right now as I type... tho they are going SOOOOOOO slow and I am praying that they don't all error out (I HATE when that happens!!!)

I think Proverbs and James are the books that we can live by today. The day before I went to my daughters the last time I had taken my car to be worked on. I didn't realize until I was on the road that they had disconnected the radio and CD player. I finally pulled over at a gas station, called the Honda place, lifted the hood and through their instructions fixed it myself.
