D.E.A.R (Drop Everything and Read) isn’t as regular an occurrence as I would like, BUT we do it often enough that the kids know what I mean when I say, “Come to the den; it’s time for DEAR.”  I am quickly reminded of this wonderful tool when things start spiraling out of control and I fear my sanity will be lost!

Tuesday night was one of those occasions and so I grabbed my copy of Disappointment With God (yes, I am STILL reading that one) and gathered my little chicks on the couch to read quietly for 10 minutes.  I thought you would enjoy listening in on 30 sec. of our quiet reading time.  Turn your volume way up.

Bubs is reading the graphic novel form of “Toy Story”.  Little is reading A Mudpie for Mother.  KB is “reading” Are You My Mother?  If you listen carefully to KB you will hear her saying, “And the dog was not his mother.  And the crane was not his mother.  And the . . . ” I loved it.

So Honey has my new computer all set up and I just have to tell you how I spent the last hour!

I did 60 pages in my next Blurb blog book! 60 PAGES!!! AND at the same time I was downloading some files from a digital scrapbooking site.  That would have been impossible last week.
I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B -L-E!

I just can’t tell you how happy I am.  I’m going to start going to bed earlier just as a result of not having to wait so long on ol’ Danny (Danny the Old Dell).

One problem though. . .
Madelyn, in the switch over your new email address is no longer with us.  Could you send me the email address AND would you send me an invitation to pinterest?  Thanks.
