Catching Up






















Lots of catching up to do here. We had a great Halloween. Matthew actually dressed up which is HIGHLY unusual. I sat out with the neighbors passing out candy while Marty took the boys around the neighborhood. Afterwards, their friends, the Greely boys (also 3 boys) came by for a visit.
We went camping the next day (Nov 1st) to Palmetto State Park near Seguin. What a great time. They boys fished, kayaked, geocached with GPS units, hiked, etc. We will definitely need to do this again.
Baseball is finally over (for now) - thank goodness. Matthew's team won the championship!!! It was so wonderful because they lost many of the regular season games but won out in the tournament. Nolan enjoyed t-ball but says he wants to play soccer next. That should be fun.
We are off to Ft. Worth today for Thanksgiving with the cousins. We are praying that we won't trade viruses because all 3 cousins have been running fever, etc, and Colin has a bad cold. That's about all for now - I need to get packing!
Oh - one more important event. Cara and Marty ran the Inaugural Rock N Roll Marathon here in San Antonio!! Marty ran the whole thing (26 miles) and Cara ran half. They both did great. Marty limped for about a week after but seems recovered now. Great Job!

Book Reviews

  • A Soft Place to Land - Susan Rebecca White. Any fiction novel which incorporates cooking is usually a favorite of mine. I will definitely be waiting for her next novel. I also love the setting of Georgia with all it's "southerness" and San Francisco with all it's progressiveness.
  • "More Than You Know" by Beth Gutcheon. I loved this book. A little troubling and spooky but a great read. It is set on the coast in Maine - such a different world from mine!
  • Friday Night Knitting Club - loved this one but was upset with the ending. Definitely worth reading if you enjoy stories with strong female bonds and roles. I am looking forward to the sequel.
