Yesterday I met a fellow homeschooler here in Oregon.  Yes, we are in Oregon now.  I last wrote from Ohio.  We then went to Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Virginia before flying here for a week to visit a supporting church for their missions conference this week.  The odometer says we have driven 10,000 miles and counting; at least we flew to Oregon.  Anyway back to the new friend, if we lived here in Medford I am sure we would be good friends. 

She introduced me to a new book...always the sign of the start of a good friendship...that I promptly started yesterday during naptime and finished today during naptime.  It is called "Daddy Long-Legs" by Jean Webster.  What a lovely, fun, easy-to-read book.  I am going to have daughter number two read it as soon as I get a copy of my own.

The other book I am reading right now is an autobiography by Frank and Marie Drown called "Mission to the Headhunters."  Frank was the guy who lead the team to find Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, etc. when they were killed in Ecuador.  Anyway the book is certainly worth reading.  Elisabeth Elliot says it is "a page turner" and she is right.  You will find joy, sorrow, danger, excitement all wrapped up in one book.

So, need a book to read?  Check out "Mission to the Headhunters" or "Daddy Longlegs."
