A weekend of sore throats and achy bones ended up being a good ole weekend at home! Saturday we both pitched in to finish weekend chores so that we could settle down by the fire. I read (well re-read) one of my Trixie Belden mysteries. Trixie Belden books transport me to a safe New England town in the 1950s where everything is beautiful and happy. Think of a mix of Nancy Drew and the Boxcar Children books. Then on Sunday we cooked soup and watched some serious olympic hockey!
So the reading continues...
Book #5 of 2010 is
Trixie Belden and the Mystery of the Missing Heiress
by Kathryn Kenny
I have LOVED Trixie Belden books since my childhood. In fact, you know you LOVE these books when out of the blue, a few years ago, the public library calls you and tells you that they want to replace their collection of Trixie Belden books and since you have been the only one to check them out in goodness knows how long, they want to know if you want to buy them...then you know you LOVE Trixie Belden books. Or maybe you know you love Trixie Belden books if you jumped into your car and 20 minutes later you bought the ENTIRE collection of books and you STILL think that it was the best deal ever and you are SO lucky because the books you wanted to own for so long are FINALLY yours!

I love that the library contacted you to see if you wanted these books. That is you in a nutshell, and I LOVE IT! Get feeling better!
We need to talk, it's been too long. Don't let me forget to ask you what chapter books you think Averie should be reading.
Life is busy...especially when you are building a house, I would imagine. :) I'll give you a call this weekend. I have a list of books that I want to give to you for Averie, starting with Ramona books by Beverly Cleary.
