It's official, hockey season has started again for the Gallagher family. Mac and Daniel are both playing and love it especially when Dad is on the ice for practices.
To get in the mood, we started a new "chapter book" by Nancy Wilcox Richards called How to Outplay a Bully. It's a cute little story about a boy, Tony, who starts hockey late in the season. His third-grade teammates have been playing for a couple of years and seem to be well-versed in the sport. Besides having to overcome the hurdles of never having played on a team, Tony has to deal with Berk, the bully. We are half-way through the book and are thoroughly enjoying the discussions that arise after each chapter.
On the adult book front, I was really touched by We Are All the Same by Jim Wooten. I will never think of AIDS and South Africa without thinking of this book.
I am now working my way through Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen. So far it is a good teenage read dealing with family issues.
The election results (and my knitting) are calling my name....
