for suggesting we read "Grapes of Wrath" -- was it you, Theresa? I still have not gotten through it what with all the holiday eventfulness, but I love the book and can't believe I've never read it. My husband told me how he skipped over all "lyrical exposition" chapters (to quote Kristen's blog entry) in high school because he thought they were boring. I am not sure how I would have felt about them as a teenager, but I am mesmerized by them now. I just found out that our daycare mom's family homesteaded in Kansas so now I am full of questions for her. Thanks for opening this window for me. There is so much I am clueless about ...
Also, Kjirsten suggested I share with all of you my exciting news -- I am going to the inauguration in 2 weeks!! Should be back in time for tea so hopefully I will have a few good stories for you!
Happy New Year, everyone...

Lisa, I can't believe it! You must tell us everything at tea! I hope the Brown Palace doesn't mind if we sit and have teas for hours in order to get everything in!
And I agree. Thanks for suggesting GOW, Theresa. It is one of my favorite books we have read so far. It brings up SO MUCH we could talk about at our meeting.
Until then!
Seriously?? How/why are you going to the inauguration? I'm so excited for you. What an absolutely amazing experience! Yes, please give a full detailed report at tea. I can't wait! :)
Lisa, that is such exciting exciting news! My gosh. I will be with you there in spirit. Take it all in. That day belongs to all of us.
