How do you move past something like that? Definitely curious to read the book. <br /><br />And I'll have to go with Wild Swans by Jung Chang.

When there's more time, I hope it will be writer over teacher.<br /><br />I've noticed that US schools tend to let out earlier and go back earlier.My friends in California are off now, as of Friday, but need to go back in mid August. Same for Georgia, which goes back in early August. We have until after Labour Day, so getting out so late is not a problem. Actually, the only real problem is we've had a heatwave for the last 3 weeks and the classrooms are more like ovens. What's the Michigan schedule like? I'm always curious.<br /><br />xx<br />AMAnne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960236584908811801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8449147139519589668.post-51569146847944777192010-06-06T12:29:32.766-05:002010-06-06T12:29:32.766-05:00I'm jealous, Sharon... surrounded by all these...I'm jealous, Sharon... surrounded by all these talented friends of yours, some good luck is bound to rub off on you!
