Keeping the Mind Young

Well, well, well! I just pulled up my blog for the fourth time today, and wah lah! There were all of my blogs but one. My friend, Frannie, said that she had been reading them so I don't know what was going on with my computer. I emailed Blogger Help and soon thereafter, here it is! I just hope it's okay now.

Today has been a busy one for me. I am president of our Family Reunion group and we always meet in September. This will be our 50th and final year to have one because the crowd is getting to be so very small, perhaps due to older ones passing on and younger ones not really caring to get together. My task this year is to gather old photos of the founders of the reunion and come up with a DVD. This won't be elaborate because there are little to no photos of many of the original family. I will do the best I can in the short time allotted for this and hope that it's sufficient. Our secretary recently lost her husband so she will still be under a lot of stress at that time.

My 2 sisters and I have gotten on this kick of reading books by Beverly Lewis. Since our return from the Amish country in PA, we have started two different series of books by Lewis. The first ones we have read is the "Abram's Daughters" series, a set of five. These books are so interesting and have so much packed within the covers that it's very difficult to lay them down. Now one of my sisters has almost finished the second series, "The Lancaster County" series, a set of 3. After this, we will begin a third set, the most recent of her writings. If you like good, clean, educational fiction, I recommend that you try Lewis' books. She also authors children's books. I hope that you will make the time to read. I'm hoping it will keep my mind active and young.
