I would definitely miss my parents were they not so near - our whole extended family is very close in proximity and in general, we are a close family, but the husband is the first person I lean on, so he needs to be closest. :) We had a great time at the zoo. What a great memory, of being at the zoo with your parents. Photos can be so meaningful. I am trying to get more into podcasts - I found a few history ones I am going to try to start listening to. Knitting ones sound cool too.Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-71587380453696316552016-03-30T06:09:22.069-07:002016-03-30T06:09:22.069-07:00Thanks Mystica!Thanks Mystica!Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-54181708522065814372016-03-30T06:09:10.736-07:002016-03-30T06:09:10.736-07:00Fangirl was awesome!

I always picture in my mind the pictures my mum took of me in the stroller w/my dad pushing at the SF zoo. Glad you had some good reads. Knitting and knitting podcasts have been my addiction of late so reading is miniscule.

I always started off conservatively but by the end would be at a grueling pace - my poor "family" was always getting injured or dying! It is nice, and it works out that Billy can listen to the audio book while I read it. :)<br /><br />Oo I wanted to read that too! I am slightly nervous to do so though - did you read the Wally Lamb book about Columbine? SO sad, and it was only fiction!<br /><br />Thanks Rita! :)<br />Erin @ Quixotic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528275471104279266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-22773149258578638802016-03-28T14:41:19.174-07:002016-03-28T14:41:19.174-07:00I am really digging Fire Touched!

Hope you enjoy that one. <br /><br />I'm intrigued by The Oregon Trail (my kids used to play the pc game) and now you have me interested. I like the mini book club of you and Billy! My elder daughter and I used to buddy read the same books, back when she wasn't in her current career and now has no time to read. Hope this plan works out for you. My husband doesn't read for pleasure anymore so I can't do this with him. Though my son and I both read the same book last month-- the one written by Dylan Klebold's mom (one of the Columbine shooters). <br /><br />Have a great week, Erin, and enjoy that boy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-611288062873469752016-03-28T06:46:03.859-07:002016-03-28T06:46:03.859-07:00Fire Touched is finally coming up on my calendar. ...Fire Touched is finally coming up on my calendar.
