Books, Books, Books....

I am looking for a good book or author. Wondering if anyone has suggestions. I just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Sun by Khaled Hosseini it was really good. I have read his other book Kite Runner which is also highly recommended. Another Author I really like is Jodi Picoult . Some books I have read are My sisters Keeper ( my favorite) , The pact, Plain Truth, The Tenth Circle. She has a special way of writing. Another favorite and never read one any better is Not without my Daughter. Email me at trmatthews@bellsouth.net I will post recommended books.

It's A .....

I don't think Mark and Lauren will mind me posting the news for distant observers. They had an ultra sound today and it is a GIRL. Another girl to add to the family in May.

Christmas Day

We spent christmas at Earl's parents. Elizabeth is sure she heard the sled bells. We had an excellent dinner and a wonderful day. Happy Holidays to all.

10th yr Anniversary

Our Anniversary is on Dec. 20th and it doesn't seem real but it was our 10th this year. We spent 4 days at Paradise Island in the Bahamas. It was relaxing and warm.

Clowning Around....

The girls have started playing more together now that Alexandria is almost 1 yrs old. She adores her big sister, but when sister is at school the second playmate is around "Ariel" the cat.

Cookie Swap

Michel had a cookie swap. You take 6 dozen and come home with a variety of 6 dozen other goodies. Another great event.

Couples Night

Gene and Carla had some couples over for dinner. We enjoyed being together and having fun. Great fun and lots of joking and laughing.

Santa and Reindeers

I am not sure what time of year it is. Other than seeing christmas decorations out and santa at the stores I would think it was more like Easter than christmas. We are having 70 degree weather. Now how are you to dress today? Short sleeves or long sleeves it is suppose to be winter. Oh well it makes for great days to play some tennis. We went to see Santa and they also had face painting there. Elizabeth got her face painted like Rudolph.
