Today was the 34th anniversary of our wedding day!

While we were in Thailand I finished another Dick Francis book. He normally writes stories that are about horse racing and jockeys. This one was different from other books he has written. This one, 10 lb Penalty, was about a father and his son whom he didn’t really know. I enjoyed it. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars at my library.
When Jackie travels and I am home alone, I try to choose one night to watch my favorite flick – a chick flick – “Return to Me”. Well, at Christmas, Jackie gave me one of my other favorites – “Shadowlands”, and I finally had a chance to watch it last night. (“Return to Me”, didn’t even enter the contest of choice.) What do I think of “Shadowlands”? I love that movie! Anthony Hopkins portrays the character of C.S. (Jack) Lewis in a most gentle, intriguing, and real faith walk that challenges me. I love the many undercurrent references to his writings – especially the mysterious, magical wardrobe from his Narnia Chronicle: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I want to watch “Shadowlands” again real soon! One of my favorite tag lines: “We read to know we aren’t alone”.
