Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Everyone seems to be using the computer at my house. I am busy with school work during the day so I haven't posted anywhere else lately either.And at night I have been helping my brother get caught up on his school work. He is going thru a phase where if you ask him if he has homework he'll tell you that it is done.Only to find out later that he hadn't finished it. We have a little over a week before all the work has to be in. He has a waiver on turning things in late. Three chapters of math and one of English to be cought up on. He has 2 Book Reports to get done and the library is closed so we are scrambling for books for him to read.He is supposed to read at his reading level which is 12th grade or above yet he is in Middle school and nothing that is at his level interests him.Mom is going to let him do a report on " Artemis Fowl" since he just read it. And hope the teacher will let it go. She said that if he read anything his grade or above that it would be ok, since his interests are his grade level not his reading level.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I helped make pies and get things ready for cooking dinner tonight, because my mom has to work for about 3 hours in the morning.We eill watch the parades on TV. Then help   my brother make deviled eggs. For those of you who don't know deviled eggs are hard boiled eggs sliced in half and the yolk is mixed with mayonaise, and a little mustard then scooped back into the egg half.Then you sprinkle paprika on top and chill.They are served cold as an appetitizer. My mom didn't know how to make them until about 15 years ago. The closest thing she knew was anchovied eggs that her mum and Granny taught her to make. We are also going to have olives, pickles and celery with cream cheese. The main course will be Turkey with stuffing, giblet gravy, corn, mashed potatoes, green salad,and cranberry sauce.Mom isn't making fresh sauce thought because she will be working. And there is coconut  and chocolate cream pie, peach, apple and pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
By the end of the night we all will be stuffed.And probably all asleep on the floor.

Never thought reading a post will make me hungry... hmmm deviled eggs....

As for finding a good book to read, I also find it quite challenging nowadays. It's not that there aren't any good books--there are many--but the problem is there are even more that's not so interesting. Selecting a good one is always a hit and miss. But I'm glad that I don't need to write a book report for every book I read...
