I happened by here today, and thought I'd say hi.<br />I'm sorry to hear about your dad. My father had a stroke many years ago, and it was very tough. I guess strokes come in varying degrees of severity and I hope your dad's was not severe. But as you haven't posted for a few months, I'm afraid I might be wrong.<br />Life happens, and we have to go with it. I hope you're doing okay.<br />I'm narrating audiobooks these days, not writing as much (though I want to get back to it), and not taking nearly enough pictures. I hope you're still getting plenty of time to read.<br />PetreaPetrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131314497582083424.post-58438869218935115672019-12-29T15:55:12.952-08:002019-12-29T15:55:12.952-08:00Gina: I'm so sorry about all that you've g...Gina: I'm so sorry about all that you've gone through in 2019--and am sorry I didn't stop by sooner to see what was going on with you. I do hope that 2020 will be a better year for you and your family. <br /><br />I've been diligently reading away for your You Read How Many Books? challenge and will miss it if you aren't able to host again in 2020, but definitely want you to do whatever is best for you and your family.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131314497582083424.post-90563666661109416952019-11-04T18:25:00.442-08:002019-11-04T18:25:00.442-08:00Such a blessed time in some ways, when you can rev...Such a blessed time in some ways, when you can reverse roles and do the tender caring -- but so hard and so sad, as well.

I also have challenged myself to go back and read or reread the books I wanted to read in my childhood or the ones that I loved and stuck with me. There are some that I remember teachers introducing and I enjoyed, but I can't remember much of the story. I'm also trying out a few new genres along the way as I read books my daughter wants to try but I need to check first to see if the content is something she might understand.Shannon MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902264494339786335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131314497582083424.post-77083832573527665772019-04-04T06:51:40.366-07:002019-04-04T06:51:40.366-07:00I know that I signed up late for this but I just s...I know that I signed up late for this but I just signed up and I hope to read Bonsai level, at the very least.
