The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread

Hi all. I am so sorry I forgot to call you all last night. I got focused on putting Emilee down to sleep after I got back from my bible study and forgot. Sorry about that.

By now you've discovered that the next book we're reading is "The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread." As perhaps Molly told you...Molly suggested this book to me when it was my turn the last time around. She was reading it and thought it was good. It's from a boy's perspective. I have begun reading it myself and it is clever and interesting and gives you a picture of what life was like back in the 40's. (I think that's when it was. I don't have the book in front of me at the moment.) So far I particularly like the part about the "oar" and the salami sandwich, which you will read very soon. So humorous! Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it! (Molly, I am sorry I picked a book you've already read. I hope you have other things to read this month or wouldn't mind rereading it.)

I look forward to talking with you more about this book when I come in September. It looks like Saturday the 26th is the best date for everyone (right?) so I will plan on that date. Please let me know if something changes on that. I will probably get my ticket this weekend. Any suggestions for a fun place to eat out that night?

All for now. Enjoy.

Merri
