Books -- reading and writing.
Home, cooking, the weather.
And whatever connections I can make between these chapters of my life.

Oh boy is that ever true! I love how the story knows. I might have to lift that quote off your site!

Follow the link on this entry if you don't know G. Neri's books. He has a lot to say, especially about boys and reading. And I'm sure he won't mind the lifting!
