day 17

Today I am thankful for the lovely car washing day. Nice sun, dirty car & a bored 5 year old was a great recipe for washing the car. I was amazed at how much he has grown up & he was actually a great help, all I had to do was the "tall bits", Oscar took care of the rest. Some if my best childhood memories are washing the car..... Although doesn't seem that exciting to me now I am sure he got as much of a thrill out of it as I used too.

day 16

Today I am thankful for books. I really enjoy reading, but the only trouble is that I become so engrossed in a book that everyone and everything around me gets a bit ( actually VERY) neglected. The other problem is that I read them too quickly, often leaving me with nothing to read. :( BUT I now have 4 books lined up to ready to read. I REALLY hope I can bring myself to put them down and not neglect the family in the meantime. Any suggestions to add to my reading list are greatly appreciated. Cheers.
