After a brief drought in reading I am finally starting up again… I used my Christmas gift card to get the book Matters of Faith from Barnes and Noble… And we bought our first “kindle” book that I finished reading on my iPhone… Your Heart Belongs to Me

So true! How was reading on the iPhone?
Reading on iPhone was better than expected… I can show you on my phone if you want to check it out… I will definitely be happy to get an actual Kindle someday though, I read too much to be reading from the backlit screen… but even considering that I finished a 352page novel in less than 2 days.
Liz and I were up in Galena this weekend and your name came up. We wonder what we are doing wrong. We know you are busy but you do all of these crafts and you still have time to read more books than anyone I know. You are amazing!
