25 Words or Less

HI Gals!
I just read (skimmed a lot) a remarkable and interesting book!
It's called Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio: How My Mother Raised 10 Kids on 25 Words or Less. It was basically about this mother of ten and wife of a drunk husband who helped support her family by writing ditties and jingles for contests during the "contest era" after WWII. It was so fascinating!

I also just finished reading The Hobit for our RS book group reading. So loved it! I might be a fantasy reader after all. :-)

I'm currently reading Love Comes Softly and really enjoying it.

There you have it!

JULIA

Have you seen the movies? I think there are about 4 of them. Watched them at my in-laws. :-)
