Books
When I go to the library I try to pick out books written by authors that I know I like. Lately I've brought home several, and when I started reading, realize I've already read them. The last time I went I brought home 3 books. 2 of them were by familiar authors and I had already read them. One of them I reread because it was short and funny, and I had enjoyed it the first time. Today I started reading the one by an unfamiliar author (to me). So far I'm enjoying it. It's called "A Miracle for St. Cecilia's" by Katherine Valentine. Here is a quote from the book "Spend more time thanking the Lord for your blessings than reminding Him of your needs, and you'll always be a happy man." This was Father James' father's favorite saying.
Our newest great-grand-daughter is a blessing. Her name is Sadie Kaylin. Her mom is recovering from a C-section because Sadie kept doing acrobatics and not cooperating with the proper position for being born. I hope we get to go see her Saturday, but I don't know yet. The family lives about an hour from here. Big brother is only 2, so life will be a bit different for him.
I went to the cemetery today, and changed the fall flowers for Christmas ones. That makes my mother happy. Last night we attended our oldest son's choir concert. He sings bass in the community choir. Tues. evening I went to the Christmas meeting of our church ladies' group. The closest I've gotten to decorating is having the box with the tree brought upstairs. However, most of my presents are bought, and I feel good about that. The 3 Christian radio stations we can get are playing only Christmas music. I may be tired of it by the time Christmas comes.

I wish the stations around here would start playing music earlier ~ they wait way too long, in my opinion ~ not hearing it yet here ~
You can get WBCL on computer. However they play more modern music. See if you can get the station from Pensacola Christian College in Fla. It has more traditional music. I forget the name of that station.
I love Christmas music but I listen to my favorites because I have a lot of them!
I need to get my deco put up so I can enjoy it for a few weeks. Hope your week-end is wonderful!
This Saturday is "decorating day" when I put up all the decorations! I have 4 Christmas cards already so I need to get my card tree up.
That was interesting--enjoying a new great grand daughter and visiting the cemetery. Life is so short.!!!
I am not am not a reader of fiction, but I am trying to read more--not a strength of mine.
Have a good weekend
We always love read the familiar books.
I like the saying and we should not forget this.
Singing in a choir gives an inexpressible joy. I was a tenor .

I just downloaded (or is it uploaded) a book to my Nook that I am anxious to read. It is a brand new one by Martin Greenfield (taylor to presidents and stars) who spent time in Auschwitz and Buchenwald. I don't expect it to be light reading, but we visited Buchenwald several years ago when we were in Germany, so it go my attention.
(that should be "got" my attention.
