  1. My daughter loves the Phillip Pullman series.
    Maybe you guys should trade off every 100 or so swimming. We do that in our group swims. We even do that if it's only two of us- that way the load is shared and the drafting is shared, plus the lead gets a 3-5 second rest as the others go by at the trade-off.

  3. Makita, I'm reading Bridge to Terabithia now. My daughter just finished it and she said it was so good, but a little sad.

    You are such a talented swimmer, runner, mom! I'm in awe! Keep up the great work you do. I'm glad your DD wasn't hurt when ya' hit the mailbox.

    Have a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY weekend!

  6. Hmm guess we don't have the same reading lists!! Outside of the first book I don't think I've ever heard of these. Maybe we should swap lists of what we would suggest the other read based on our favorites lists. Well my tastes can sometimes be questionable based on some people's feed back.
