Sons and Daughters of LIBERTY

This is a post from Daddy Jordan under the disguise of Mama Jordan. I was able to listen to the 5000 year leap while I have been working in the flower garden and also down stair cleaning the store room. The store room looks pretty good by the way. Trying to prepare for the future by getting space ready for the needed food storage. Back to the book. I find it fascinating how far we have drifted from the founding fathers intentions for this blessed country. If we believe in the inspired creations of the constitution then we have to find a way to change the direction of the present course that has been set over the past several administration. It may be easier to back up to a safer time (as far as the constitution is concern) and then set a new course rather then try and set a new course from where we are now. Though it is a sobering book to go through I think it can give us a wake up call to become the sons and daughters of liberty again. I am glad to have gone through the book and hope many of you will be able to read it or listen to it. I have the CD if any one wants to borrow it.

I was thinking I needed to wait until I finished reading a book before I posted again. I am half way with Sense and Sensability. I have acutally enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The past few days dad has worked very hard to clear out the storage room. In doing so we found quite a few older books. I have offered Zeke quite a few of them to read and then bring back. Heather took a few. There are some others that are here if you are intersted. Just let me know. This is a great way to keep in touch.

Harry A History by Melissa Anelli

If your not tired of Harry Potter, I read this book a while back. It is written by the lady who runs The Leaky Cauldron one of the really popular Harry Potter websites.
Anyway, it gives a lot of fun background insight into the series and its fans. The author interviewed lots of people including Jo Rowling, several times. She even has a chapter where she interviewed the lady who was going through a bunch of court cases to get the books banned from the school library.
It's a fun read. You will relate to some of the memories of excitement for the books, midnight parties and such. It really is from the fans perspective.

Side note: I couldn't be happier about the response to this blog. It is so fun to hear from all of you. I think I must be the most blessed person on the planet. I have family who I consider my best friends and friends that I consider like family. Big hugs from Spokane Washington.

I just finished reading a really great book titled "The Goose Girl". Shanelle is actually the one who told me about the book (and let me borrow it). It is a book with many great elements. Elements of romance, of war and betrayal, of magic and legends. It is also a great story of finding one's self. It is very well written, in my opinion, and I highly recommend it. It is written by Shannon Hale and is part of a 3 part series. I have already ordered (from Amazon, of course) the 2nd book, and hope that it is just as good as the first. Happy reading everyone!

CONFESSIONS OF A SHOPAHOLIC

So, I have both read and watched this movie!! I love it. The book is definately better. But, both are fun and I will own the movies when it is out! The books (there is a series) are set in London and the main girl is obsessed with getting a good deal and buying designer clothes, needless to say she is in debt. So,

• she hides from creditors,
• becomes the financial spokesperson on a television show and of course,
• falls in love with the dream guy (not the collector!!).

It is great. The movie is a bit different, for one it is set in NY, but definately watching worthy.

I suppose I was attracted to these books b/c of my love of "chic-lit"and the name, I being a "shopper"and lack the ability to balance a checkbook! So, if you like a cute and fun read, w/o the steamy love scenes....CHECK THIS OUT!!

And all the info is: The books are written by: Sophie Kinsella--I really like her other books, as well.

books for a childhood

Because I am engrossed in my studies, I often delving deep in the horrible parts of humanity. I find myself wanting a return to childhood in one form or the other. I think back on the books I read and the places that they took me. it was a simpler time in my life, when the good guys always won, and the bad guys weren't that dangerous. these are the books I love to read when I feel that being an adult is a little to much, The Chronicles of Narnia, Where the Wild Things are, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, The Hobbit, and the One I am Currently reading The BFG, the other night I was reading in bed and it was the part about Whizzpoppers I was laughing so long it hurt. good times. need to lighten up your day, my suggestion read your favourite book from your childhood and believe in a simpler time in your life.

brought to you from the cornfields of IOWA

So, Todd and I went and saw the movie "Knowing" a couple of weeks ago. I have to say, it's a creepy movie. I really don't want to say much about the story line, just in case somebody is planning to see it. I don't know that I would recommend it, although it would be nice to get other people's opinions about the movie. I would, however, suggest that Mom never see this movie.
