What Our Family is Currently Reading

Recent ReadsMark Twain once observed: “The man who doesn’t read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them.”

We agree with that sentiment whole-heartedly!

Below is a smattering of the books the members of our family have enjoyed since beginning this blog. You’ll find the books we’ve most recently finished or are presently reading at the top of the list. Click through to read our impression of the works.

This is really a small sample of all the books we’ve completed (some of us average more than a book a week), but they’re all titles we thought might be of interest to our readers here. Enjoy browsing!

We stopped in Indianapolis to admire the beautiful We stopped in Indianapolis to admire the beautiful capitol building, but our boys spent their time  admiring something else….  13,000 female athletes were in town for the USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championship this week. Talk about perfect timing!  #flandersfamilytravels
Heading off on another grand new adventure today — this time to Indiana, with a stop in Little Rock for dinner at The Mellow Mushroom. Yum! #flandersfamilyeats #flandersfamilytravels #roadtrip
Because it’s more fun to watch blockbuster movie Because it’s more fun to watch blockbuster movies in costume (even if the character you’re dressed as was killed off in the first film of the franchise).  #jurassicworlddominion #topgunmaverick #summermovies #familyfun
It’s official. We sold our house last Friday. If It’s official. We sold our house last Friday. If you need a good realtor, @jonirudak is AMAZING!
Well, we put our house on the market, and it sold Well, we put our house on the market, and it sold in 3 days. So after 5 1/2 years in this happy home, we’ll begin moving out this week.  #godisgood but #movingishard
We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone as gregarious as Rebekah finds this “don’t talk to me” meme so hilarious (see my last post for pictures), as she is an amazing conversationalist and always has been.  I even thought about stitching a disclaimer on the back of the Christmas sweater (my gift to her) that read: “These dogs may be anti-social, but I love meeting new people, so introduce yourself!”  #strikeupaconversation
So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated fro So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated from nursing school, her sister/roommate Bethany came up with a plan that the whole family should memorialize her accomplishment with hand-crafted gifts featuring a meme that — for whatever reason — totally cracks Bekah up. Here’s the results of our labors ( minus the doggie-embellished flower pot Beth gave her early. I didn’t get a picture of that one). 
Next batch of photos, I’ll share Bekah’s reaction to the gifts. Spoiler: She loved them!.  #flandersfamilycreates
Mother’s Day 2022 — Enjoying dinner at Samuel Mother’s Day 2022 — Enjoying dinner at Samuel and Bekah’s house while they’re still in Tyler. They’ll be leaving in August for a job in San Antonio. We’re excited for them, but a little sad for us, as it’s been so nice having them close. ❤️
Celebrating our newest UTTyler graduate 👩‍🎓: We couldn’t be prouder of our tender-hearted Rebekah. She loves the LORD, cares deeply about others, and is going to make a fantastic nurse. Keep up the good work @flander.7 ❤️❤️  #classof22 #uttyler #nursingschool
I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics from our family’s recent stay in Cleburne (with a day trip to the Fort Worth Zoo).  There are so many fun, free things to do in Cleburne! Our favorite? The free community showing of the at the @laylandmuseum of the classic film Charade (starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant) with free popcorn, saltwater taffy, and bottled root beer provided by @trovatostreet. What a treat! We’re so glad our trip coincided with this monthly event.  #flandersfamilytravels
