AN INTERESTING VARIETY

Monday, November 21, 2011 (20 minutes)

Hours before Jane’s aunt dies she reveals to Jane that Jane has an uncle who wanted to take her in and put her in his will.  Jane’s aunt told him she had died and she wanted Jane to tell her uncle that she was alive.  Jane forgave her aunt and asked for her aunt’s forgiveness, and even on her deathbed Jane’s aunt was cold hearted to her.  After her aunt’s death Jane stayed behind for three weeks to help her cousins.  I found it strange that Jane did not write to her uncle right away.

Since my co-worker gives me his newspaper I was only able to read it a couple of days this week.

Went to the bookstore on Friday night and I was able to finish the book Diary of a Wimpy Kid that I started a few weeks ago.  I’m still debating my thoughts about the book, which is kind of silly sounding because it was a bit of a surface story.  I think I a holding my thoughts until I can watch the movie.  Then I started The Hunger Games, and I didn’t think it was my kind of story line, but it caught me right away.  Plus the movies are coming out in few months so I need to get going.  It kind of reminded me of the stories I had read about life for Jews during WWII, but with a futuristic storyline.

We were visiting the family and my father-in-law bought a book called Hard Work by Roy Williams.  I’ve been a KU fan as long as I can remember and I have always liked Roy Williams so I picked it up.  I had no idea he had such a rough and tough childhood and he really overcame a lot thanks to his high school coaches and teachers.  I was able to read up through his first coaching job.  Next time we visit I won’t have to worry if I forget to bring a book.
