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.
