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!

Their giddy laughter is motivating me to up-to-date their scrapbooks, so my grandkids can someday poke fun at how funny their parents looked and dressed growing up, too.  #tbt #whatgoesaroundcomesaround #webothfeltstylishatthetime

I thought he was the absolute best back then, but he’s somehow managed to get better and better with every passing year. And the love, appreciation, and respect I feel for him continues to grow deeper, broader, and higher every day, as well.  #tbt #everydaywithyoudear #issweeterthanthedaybefore #happilyeverafter #thehoneymoonisstillnotover

For moistest and most flavorful roast you’ll ev For moistest and most flavorful roast  you’ll ever eat, brown both sides of the meat, then lay it in the bottom of a crockpot on a slice of onion to lift it off the surface. Sprinkle with 1 pkg Ranch mix and 1 pkg Au Jus Gravy mix, lay a stick of butter on top, and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Super easy and delicious!  I cook potatoes and carrots in the same pot and serve with dinner rolls and a salad. Yum!  #flandersfamilyeats
All aboard! I’m so glad I kept a good supply of All aboard!  I’m so glad I kept a good supply of the classic toys my kids used to love, even after they outgrew them, because now they’re delighting a whole new generation of grandkids.  Considering the fact our train sets had already been enjoyed by somebody else’s children when I bought them secondhand for my own little ones decades ago, I’d say they’ve served their purpose well (and are still going strong).  What kind of classic playthings will/did you keep for future generations to enjoy? Anything you got rid of and later wished you hadn’t?  #briotrains #atrainrunsacrossthistrack #redcabooseattheback #classictoys
