Rainy Day

Perfect day to stay home with my ouchy foot up in the recliner and read a book. We discussed "Infidel" at book club. We were all impressed with her writing and were carried away by the events of her life. Wow! It is very enlightening to hear what she has to say about Islam.

Now that the pleasure of watching some fabulous tennis matches is over, I must resort to watching endless political stuff. Obama was great on Letterman last night. He explained that when he said you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig - he meant the Republican agenda would be the pig and Sarah Palin was the lipstick. Anyway, he is very quick witted.

Today is a day when we remember 9/11/01. The pictures bring back those terrible shocking events with a vividness which is upsetting. My darling grandson's birthday is tomorrow, one day after those events. The memories surrounding that day are also memorable, but in a far more pleasant way. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATT.

Well, off for a day of reading. We are reading "The Shack" for next month. The pharmacist recommended it to George, so it must be outstanding. Donna was our recommender in the club.

Take care.

I am on the waiting list at the library for the "Infidel".
I am reading Madeleine Albright's new book, "Memo to the President Elect" Very good.
Met Janiece this morning for coffee at the Park Bakery cafe. They are waiting for Rob and Maggie (to be married next week). They are coming from Washington --the state-- going to Iowa. J and J leave next Tuesday for the gala. Keep us posted on that toe. Fran

Happened to see a snipit about your book Infidel, it looks like something I would love to read and also a friend of mine had the Shack, I am hoping to read that eventually also.

Missed you at the gym. I managed to make my way around but it just isn't the same!
