The Giver and the Good Earth are some the best books of all time. Have you read "Peace like a River"? Definitely one of my top ten. And I totally want to be a professor, sans writing.

I recently read the Uglies that a neighbor brought over....it reminded me of The Giver, which I love too.

You did it! This was really fun to read, so thanks for being a sport. I got such a smile out of "dicker" (which reminds me of us in college) and "ludicrous"!! I haven't thought of that for a long time. I thought you might come up with "slather," another of our favorite words that I still love.

It's always fun to learn fun facts about people from tags. Even when you've Known someone for this many years there always seems to be so much you don't know.
