 There were so many wonderful surprises this past week. One surprise was expected and the other was unexpected.

The unexpected was a package I received Monday. You see, I had been feeling a bit of criticism from a couple of different sources. My husband and I had taken a long walk Sunday afternoon (just the two of us) and both agreed we were suffering from Plom's Disease:  Poor Little Old Me. My husband talks with the kids about this disease all the time, but this time it was affecting us.

Do you have a reader in your house?

I have been blessed with the gift of a daughter who LOVES to read. A trip to the used bookstore, library, or any sale that has books is heaven for her.

She reads and then REREADS books. She takes a good friend at our church bags of books when she is finished with them. Her friend brings them back just a couple of weeks later and they talk about them.

How many kids do this? I think it's awesome!
