Last weekend when I was staying at the OFH I received two books as early Father's Day gifts. The plan was to read chapters in the books alternatively. This was to avoid the challenge of having to choose which to read first. Both are good reading but one's a report and the other a novel.
Reading into them both the novel engaged to make the reader wonder how certain things turn out. That reality ended the alternative approach. Now the novel is three fourths complete and the end is in sight. No matter, I'll happily return to the other which is fascinating in it's own right.
In a station in life where I need little and if I do need something I just buy it, books are welcomed gifts. Both givers acknowledged a desire to read their gift when I was finished. These are gifts that keep on giving. Once I was given a book for Christmas that was checked out of a library to which I returned it when done reading. 😀 Like the married couple who would meet at a Hallmark Store. There they'd each pick out a birthday card for the other, after showing it to the other it was placed back on the shelf.
Takk for alt,

For twelve years I volunteered at Noble Academy, a Hmong Charter School. The last several years there I read books with groups of the advanced students. Now I live too far away and my hearing loss makes it not feasible,
