LOL We're big Dr. Who fans, too. Hubby got me hooked when we were dating. New DIL had to explain the cake to her crowd, but the little kids were crazy about it. They actually tried to open the doors! <br /><br />You should definitely fix your door up to look like the TARDIS door. That would be brilliant!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-33485200445358099302011-08-31T14:54:09.597-05:002011-08-31T14:54:09.597-05:00It's bigger on the inside!

Eldest had told us how much he appreciates them and that they value the same things we do (family, education). Meeting them really brought that home. I couldn't be more thrilled for him. <br /><br />You can drool but just be sure to bring tissues. ;) I think I got lucky finding some really great titles. Now, if I can just get back to reading at regular speed. This has been a rather low concentration year, so far. Travel seems to totally whack up my reading. But, I'm having fun with the traveling, so I'm trying to just roll with it.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-52070668493671515462011-08-30T18:36:41.933-05:002011-08-30T18:36:41.933-05:00Yo, new mother-in-law, congratulations!

And, we're thrilled that they've tied the knot. We've been looking forward to their wedding for a long time. :)<br /><br />Oh, you are strong. I'm more like, "For I have come to Borders and I am weak." I can't leave without at least a few books. But our local Borders is looking pretty puny, now.

We'd both love to go back. Maybe we can work something out in the next couple of years -- prob. not next year, since we're already practically booked solid. <br /><br />Haha, Sarah's definitely my favorite daughter-in-law, since I only have one. But, someday I hope I'll have two favorite daughters-in-law. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-84013306774634196182011-08-29T21:26:02.503-05:002011-08-29T21:26:02.503-05:00Awwww, we never worked out how you could come thro...Awwww, we never worked out how you could come through Chattanooga on your way home. I hope someday you will be able to visit me, and I'll show you all the touristy stuff in town -- or we'll just talk and visit.<br /><br />Congrats on having a new daughter-in-law. I hope yours is as fabulous as mine. I keep telling her (for 25 years, now) that she's my favorite daughter-in-law. She always grins and adds, "And the only one."Bonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-38905400088276562052011-08-29T20:51:10.748-05:002011-08-29T20:51:10.748-05:00Alyce,

She was so determined to finish that cake and do it right that she got up early and worked all day in her pajamas!! My daughter-in-law is a pretty amazing woman. You can't help but love and admire her. Thanks!<br /><br />Les,<br /><br />Yes, don't we all live for that - just hoping our kids will be happy and healthy? The cake was awesome and it even tasted great! <br /><br />Thanks. I'll always have a soft spot for Borders, too, having lived in the city where they came into being. I will miss them like crazy.<br /><br />Jenny,<br /><br />LOL Thanks!<br /><br />Ms. Fizz,<br /><br />Many thanks! I've read some gushy-positive reviews of The Borrower. I wonder if yours was among them? I'm definitely excited that I found a copy in the 60%-off merchandise. Now, I don't have to wait for the price to drop or a copy to arrive via PBS.<br /><br />Brittanie,<br /><br />I'm about to dive into purging mode, again. Sorry you're having trouble focusing -- I know the feeling. This has been kind of a pitiful reading year for me, but it's been a really good travel year, so I guess it's a trade-off. <br /><br />I don't listen to audiobooks, but I've heard the books by . . . okay, drawing a blank. You know the Mma Ramotswe mysteries set in Africa, like Tears of the Giraffe? That author's books are supposed to be really good on audio.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-82802293349509555422011-08-29T19:29:02.690-05:002011-08-29T19:29:02.690-05:00Congratulations!

We've had a few too many of those, so it's been especially nice going to two family weddings, this year, and adding to the family, finally! :)<br /><br />I'm going to have fun with those books!<br /><br />Ali,<br /><br />Thank you! I do love Sherman Alexie, so I have a feeling I'll enjoy Reservation Blues. It'll be my third book by Alexie. <br /><br />Amy,<br /><br />Thanks! Isn't that cake awesome? Karen worked practically round-the-clock on it and you can tell. It was really amazing. Yes, I wish I could pick up a few more pieces, myself! Our Borders is looking pretty stripped, now. The one we went to in the Nashville area still had a shockingly substantial stock.
