Wishing lots of good health for your family and hopefully a more carefree time ahead!<br /><br />The pictures of Mouse are delightful - love the one riding the carousel. She looks so happy! <br /><br />We've been watching too much t.v. and I'm sure that's why my reading has been so off.

I try to stay on top of them, but sometimes the writing bug doesn't always kick in when I need it to. Thank goodness for mini reviews!<br /><br />I will happily give Mouse a hug for you.

I can't believe how grown up she is already. She's such a cutie!<br /><br />I was one of those who liked Girl on the Train. I listened to the audio and thought it was great. I see you're readng The Mapmaker's Children too. Thats another good one. You know I've been horrible with reviews. I've listened to a whole bunch of books but never did reviews right away and now I can't remember them very well. I think I might do some mini reviews. <br /><br />Oh well.

We know personally here how upsetting that is and how time-consuming all the doctor appointments are. <br />The photos of Mouse are just beautiful-- love her sleek, shiny hair and her smile on the carousel!<br />I agree that it isn't the amount you read, it's the quality of the time spent and the enjoyment you get when you think about it later on. I'm not a fast-reader and I get distracted by noise and people around me, maybe 2 books a week if I'm lucky and stay away from Netflix or Hulu :)<br />Diamond Head on my wishk-to-read list, as well as The Mapmaker's Daughter. I really enjoyed her book The Baker's Daughter last year. I read The Girl on the Train, and despite the mixed reviews, it's worth reading.

We try to go once a year but we aren't pass holders so that's about all we can afford without taking out a small loan. LOL. <br /><br />My kid. The Teen. Still working on sending the stuff out. He packed it all up. Not sure if he mailed it out yet. The Pantages gig is tonight so I am sure after that he will zero in on what needs to go out. I can't even talk to him about it right now. He hasn't even given me my stuff yet.
