I'm reading...
At Home in Mitford
by Jan Karon
Last week at the library I check out the first in the Mitford series. This section just made me laugh out loud....waking up dear hubby who did not think it was nearly as funny...maybe you have to read the whole book. by Jan Karon
"Well guess what?"
"I give up," said the rector.
"I weigh exactly the same as my age
"No!" exclaimed Emma.
"Yes, indeed. I went to see Hoppy for a checkup and I tip the scales at exactly eighty-six pounds. Have you ever?"
"Never!" said Father Tim
The entire book so far has been the ordinary, yet somewhat comical, life in a small town centered around the role of a pastor. Tomorrow my husband's aunt is having open heart surgery so we will be at the hospital all day. I'm taking this book for me and school books for the kids. Say a prayer for Aunt Kay if you think of it. I'm sure she would appreciate it.
So what are you all reading?
Blessings,
Mrs. P
