I’m reading The Name of the Rose out loud to Scott in the evening while he works in the workshop. My voice, as always, is shot, but it’s too enjoyable not to share books this way. It’s a murder mystery … Continue reading →

D16 passed his driver’s test and is on his own, driving to work tonight.  Pray for us!
