Reading

Right now I am reading through the Bible in 90 days, with a friend. At least I think I am. I haven't heard from her since we started. (hint, hint friend) I am also rereading The Children of Green Knowe by Lucy Boston. It's a sweet little book, a young reader, but I still like it. I love how she mixes fantasy and reality, so well it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. The setting of the book is around Christmas. I've started reading it every year around Christmas time. I read a few pages at a time and make it last as long as I can.

I joined a book club last month. And forgot to read the assigned book! I went to the meeting anyway. I had a delightful time!! It was half a dozen older ladies sitting around in a lovely old house, snacking and talking about books. Bliss! The book was People of the Book, by Geraldine Brooks. (There's a tongue twister for you!) It sounds very interesting! I brought a copy home with me. So I will be reading that one very soon.

I like older people. They are walking history. I love hearing them reminisce. They are comfortable with who they are. I find that restful. One of the ladies is 92. Her son-in-law was my voice teacher for a little while. We also hayed her fields at one time. We were both delighted when we made the connection. Hearing her talk about people who have past set me musing. How are people going to remember me when I am gone? Please God, I pray I can leave pleasant memories. It was a very nice day.
