Last night when Marlene and the kids got home, she quickly put together a filling and tasty vegetable soup for dinner. Kait and I went to the grocery store for bread to go along with the soup, and Andy needed batteries. After dinner the kids finished homework, Kait went across the street to babysit, and then Michelle read out loud to Grammy while Andy read four books to his mom and grandad. What a joy to hear the kids read so well and to enjoy reading. It can be a lifelong pleasure to read.
We love to read and frequently finish a book or more each week. At this time we are limiting our reading to paperback books so that we do not add too much weight to the motor home. When we got to Kerrville, we visited our favorite used book store and found that the owner had kept us on file these past four years even though we were away. So we take any book we have finished for credit and then can purchase used paperbacks for 3/4ths of the printed cost. This savings allows us to get many book to read at a time and keeps our small library full. I like to read action stories or political biographies and have a list of favorite authors in the car to refresh my memory whenever we are getting new books to read. I just finished a book by Brad Meltzer and now am reading, 'The General was a Spy,' another Nazi thriller I hope. If you are a reader, give me author suggestions. I always appreciate new books to look for and read.
