Mom and Dad have gone off to Utah and I am sure they are having a good time. Meanwhile, back at the fort, I take Dad's truck into the dealership to deal with some recall business. Dad had mentioned that I might want to take a book to read so on the way out the door this morning I grab the book on top of his newly acquired stack. Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. I wasn't entirely interested in starting a new book but the waiting room had only so many car items to browse and so I sat myself down and the time passed quickly. I wasn't able to finished it when they handed me back my keys, but that was okay because as my spaghetti water boiled back home and I was clocked out I finished it. 280 pgs but big print it was a very easy read and one I very much enjoyed. I smiled and I cried and I think I even caught Michael's attention for a bit when he came in just as I was finishing it. Winner of the Newberry in 1995- please find it and read it if you haven't. Maybe it won't for you, but for me it hit a spot. I did not want to put the book down and even as I finished it I closed my eyes a while to slow the transition of my present reality. I would like to tell you what I found in it so fascinating but I do want you to read it.
