Hi Eleanor!
We haven't been very good about keeping this blog up-to-date and relevant. I'd like to encourage more use of it.
How are you! I've been wearing those great fingerless gloves you made for me last winter. Everyone wants them, now. How is the college search going? Have you finished applying to your top choices?
Ida got into Smith early decision, which is really great. Great school, and where she seems to want to go.
We've been having some serious discussion about how to keep The Bookmarks alive and stimulating so a lot of ideas are being generated.
Books I have read lately and really enjoyed include: Atonement by Ian McEwan, Honey, Baby, Sweetheart by Deb Caletti, Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin, Jonny Magic and the Card Shark Kids: How a gang of geeks beat the odds and stormed Las Vegas by David Kushner.
