Last weekend, Tony and I attended a party at the home of our friends Tom and Elizabeth. What a GREAT time! Here's a photo taken by Tom. I think Tony was about to start laughing - can you tell? We had to leave the party early to pick-up Veronica at LAX - home from college for the week. Sunday, we had a picnic with both the girls and spent the rest of the afternoon lying by the pool. It was truly a vacation day.

People of the Book
I am so thrilled when a book comes along that captivates me from start to finish. People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks is one of those books. Combining historical fiction with a touch of intellectual thriller, this proved to be the best book of 2008 thus far for me. The characters were beautifully created, their stories were personal, and it was easy to identify with so many things directly and indirectly when it comes to the love and emotions exhibited by these people. To follow The Sarajevo Haggadah both chronologically and reverse historically was, well, stimulating. If you haven't seen or heard of this gem, I'd suggest you seek it out and be captivated cover to cover as I was. This is one that will always be on my book shelf, to be read again and again.
