I had a great Christmas! The family! Kids, grandchildren, the tree, a fire in the fireplace, the food, but THE PRESENTS! I got the best presents this year for some reason! I guess either I have been especially good or they felt guilty for what they gave me last year. I was showered with beautiful things that I love. But the mother lode, my favorite, I have to admit is MY NEW KINDLE! It is such a cool little toy. I hope eventually it will become an important tool in my reading. Right now I just want to buy books. It is very cool and I want to stroke it like a mink coat (I oppose fur) but it feels so smooth to the touch and it is as thin as a - thinner than the pencil they compare it to in the advertising and, well I'll have to pass it around at the next meeting. What a fun toy, I mean tool, yes, tool for me and all the reading I have to do. I love books and their covers and the feel of them and all of the arguments you hear regarding ebooks but the fact that I have a dozen of books on this right now and I can carry it in my purse is amazing. AND it syncs with the kindle on my iPhone and I didn't even know it would do that - it just happened! I give it a thumbs up! My other favorite gift? My LBC bookmarks - you'll see those soon too! I am still playing with all my toys. I must have been a good girl or I just got lucky, probably the later, either way - Thanks family and friends!
