I'm still here!

I can't believe I haven't posted for (I don't know how long!)

I hope you all had a lovely Easter! Me and me family did.

I recently read The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
I'm glad that I read it but it was very sad.

This work was set in Berlin, 1942. When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he can see in the distance. But, Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place than what meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has devastating consequences. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is now a major motion picture (releasing in November 2008).

Lent is just around the corner....

I had planned to write about Lent last week but never got around to it.

So now here I am with Lent not even 2 days away now and I'm still not exactly sure what I will give or do for Lent.
I'm not going to give up any kind of food (like ice cream like I use to in 3rd grade)
Maybe I'll read a Bible verse or say a rosary a day or both.
I know one thing I will be doing though is spiritually adopt a baby.
What will you be doing? Don't be afraid to leave a comment!

Book Review: The Wind Blows Free,The Wide Horizon,The Good Land

Well I finished these three books a few weeks ago but I thought I would still share a little about them. To start off the authors name is Loula Grace Erdman.



The first book in the series is The Wind Blows Free

The Pierce family have just moved from East Texas to the Texas Panhandle and the oldest Melinda is having the hardest time adapting to the of leaving her friends and the finishing school she is supposed to attend when she turns 15. Along the way the family will have to go though many changes from living in a dugout to borrowing water till they are able to afford a well of there own. But while the twins Bert and Dick are excited that there might be Indians Katie and Caroline are not so excited! Luckily the whole family with be able to make new friends.

Let me just say this is a wonderful book and by the time you are done you'll want read the next two books!



The second book is The Wide Horizon

It has been five years since the Pierce family moved to the Texas Panhandle.....

I'm going to have to continue this later as I'm kind of stuck right now!!
