C.S. Lewis

Sarah Graves

“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.”
Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Marissa Burton Hi Kathy!
I had to smile when I saw that someone had recommended "The Wives of Los Alamos" to you, as I just reserved this book at the library a couple weeks ago!! ;D Our literary choices seem to overlap often - I finally finished "Call The Midwife" boxset, and really enjoyed it - took my mind off of moving, packing, unpacking, feelings of instability, etc. LOL

Take care,
Marissa


Bradley I hope you are having a good day! =)
