Well, we just might have a quiet morning! Justin is away driving with some stranger, so we do not have to do school this morning, instead we have to organize the house, oh what fun.
Anyway, don't forget that next Monday is Thanksgiving! We are having some people from church over. (If you Americans are wondering what on earth I am talking about, this is Canadian Thanksgiving).
Some of you have heard of the movie, The Princess Bride, but how many have read the book? It is even better than the movie! If you are going to get the book, get the one abridged by William Goldman, the real one by S. Morgenstern is really long and complicated. Mr. Goldman abridges it so that you do not have to read 12 pages on Florinese trees or other trivial facts about the history of Florin and Guilder. (I cannot say the same for Mr. Morgenstern.)
I suppose that is all that I have to say.....

So Joanna, who's coming on Monday to celebrate the great holiday of Canadian Thanksgiving? I'm really excited....
Come now, Joanna, you must admit that you and I would have little indeed to talk about if I didn't read unabridged books. So the Florinese trees might serve some purpose....
Miss Leah, observing that her sister (whom she loves very much) never signs out
Oh, much more than just Florinese trees. The whole history of Florin actually.

Leah, I love you very much, too. And I do sign out...religiously. But, dear, you must remember that I'm automatically signed in to Blogger because I'm a blogger.
