We gathered together for book group yesterday. Our book of the month was Heidi. What a wonderfully delightful book this was to read. Delaney and I greatly enjoyed it. Ryan said he didn't like it, but always asked to read it...and Connor complained loudly about having to be around when we read it, yet, he always hung around to hear it read too (especially at the end), sooooo, I think they really did like it too. Cailin, perhaps she really didn't like it for she would sneak away when the reading began.
We found so many wonderful life lessons to talk about with the kids-- honesty, kindness, forgiveness, love, optimism, perseverance, faith in God, importance of prayer, and on and on.
The author talked so often of the good milk from Schwanli, one Alm-Uncle's goats. Toasted cheese on bread was talked of often too. How could we not eat such simple yummy food. Goat cheese toasted on rye bread. (and whole grain bread for the 'would be haters' of rye :) It reminds me of the super yummy dark multigrain/rye bread Barry and I ate from the local bakery in our town Erfenbach in Germany.
Mmmm, delish!
