Last week was both frustrating and good. Frustrating because we had some “we’re going to do this even if it takes all day” issues and good because we did get things accomplished. We did Circle Time five days. We finished Tina Packer’s The Tempest in our reading. We reviewed and sang and sat everyone on…
Memory Work for the week of … : January 28, 2013Bible: We continue to work on Philippians 2:1-18. We’re adding the verse(s?): “Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on…

Out of the Ruins by Sally S. Wright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own on Kindle. Wow. I’m, once again, wishing I were reading the next Ben Reese Mystery instead of writing a review. Ben has returned to the States after a sabbatical in Scotland (where he’s solved two murders). He’s headed to the…

Pursuit and Persuasion by Sally S. Wright My rating: 4 of 5 stars Own. I don’t want to write this review. I want to read the next book. I think I love Ben Reese more than I love Lord Peter Wimsey. He’s more ruggedly American. Set immediately following Pride and Predator, Pursuit and Persuasion is…
FOR TODAY Outside my window… it’s a glowing grey and we’ve had some rain. It cooled off significantly, I think.I am thinking… two children are on the upswing, but one isn’t getting better very quickly.I am thankful… that I can stay home and take care of them today just like every other day.In the kitchen……

The story unfolds slowly and carefully as Ben Reese methodically goes through the clues to this whodunit. Dr. Reese is a complex character: generous to his friends, methodical in his work, thoughtful in his…
