Greetings to all,

I have now learned how to down-load pictures. Here is our family. What a good lookin' group!

It has turned cold and windy again here in Montana. It is winter, after all. Hopefully the bitter cold temperatures are behind us now. I know winter is far from over, but I don't like the frigid temperatures.

There isn't much going on here. We are enjoying our Christmas presents. Bruce is trying to figure out his "ship in a bottle" and I am improving my brain health with the Brain Age game on my Nintendo DS. I'm not as old as I thought I was!!

A group of women from church are getting together tonight to talk about The Shack by William Paul Young. It is a very interesting book with an interesting perspective on God. I don't necessarily agree with all it has to say, but it is thought-provoking. I recommend it as a good read.

Since we are on the subject of books, I would like to list a few of my favorite authors.

Francine Rivers
William Bernhardt
Patricia Cornwell
James Patterson
John Grisham
Michael Connelly
Nevada Barr
Catherine Coulter
Sandra Brown
Michael Palmer
John Connolly
Iris Johanson
Ridley Pearson

I tend to read an author until I have read everything they have in print to date. Some are very slow to publish. It has been said that everyone has a novel in them. Not so with me. I don't pretend to have any writing ability. So, because I cannot write, I read.

I hope this finds you all well and happy. God bless.
