This week Blogland has been filled with reminders of Thanksgiving, but none more sweet than this one.
I tried to write you back the other day but the connection messed up at my Mom's house.
Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving!
That's so neat you went to ACC. My husband and I went to the football game Saturday. ACU had their first loss of the season. It was a good game.
For the book reviews, I do them with a friend on her blog. I just do them after I read a book. How do you get to review for Thomas Nelson? I'd love to do that!
