I just finished "Pastoral" by Shute...actually reread it after about 25 years...
The one I started last night is "Breaking Wave"...
Both of these are paperbacks I found at the famous Powell's bookstore in Portland last week.
Now...wedding plans...
Jane, you're going to love this: They plan to go to Scotland next year...probably the fall...and get married in a country kirk there.
Our son ran this possibility by us first some months ago to judge our reaction. We're fine with it...
Future DIL has large family, and doesn't want large wedding, so this was an option which became THE option.
I salute you Jane, and all the mothers of the bride who plan weddings. That was not to be my fate anyway, so this is fine. It's their wedding, and we can have some kind of dinner or reception at some point here if we want to.
Anyway, they're working on all the details of the trip...the ceremony...etc.
Utah Girl, I'll be keeping your family in prayer for little Jacob....(((((Utah Girl))))
Now, a little concerning news....Portland son has asthma it looks like, but he's so busy between work, social life, and school that he keeps putting off going to the dr....he would go to an HMO.
He needs to get on medication.
2/3rds, a call...will remember that for next time if no meeting possible. We spent nearly 2 of the days I was out there going to, checking out, and returning from Grand Junction, where my son had some workstuff to do. First time I'd been out there.
Bev, I sure loved our visit, the trip to the clinic, and meeting the Amazing Miss Lily. Hope the rest of your b.d. celebrations was wonderful!
Bit...okay, so now you're Beignet Bit?? OR, how about Bit of Beignet???? What other delectables are you cooking up???
Raven, enjoy the wedding visit! Did I miss the photo of the Father of the Groom???
Welcome back and congratulations on the engagement.
Iknow you are quite happy!!
I have been busy all day with grandkids. Older two had a half-day, so we spent the afternoon making Halloween decorations. Conferences were today, and both of them got straight A's!! Both teachers very enthusiastic about them, with lots of nice comments to their mother. I am a proud grandmom.
I just logged on about 45 minutes ago and saw that Kristol is up to his old tricks. I just posted my extensive rant on a thread on which some people said Kristol was a "respected intellectual conservative" who would NEVER wish harm to the Bush administration.
Boy, did I let them know how wrong they were!!! LOL!!
