Great Expectations on PBS

I thought you all may be interested in this link:

The next two Sunday evenings Masterpiece Theater will present Charles Dickens "Great Expectations". I know I will be taping it on our DVR for sure! We haven't read this book, but it's a classic for sure!

If you didn't get a chance to see "Little Dorritt" you can watch it online on the PBS website. It just finished up playing for the last few weeks, and is still available on the PBS website.

Johnny Tremain Book Discussion

Okay Ladies, we are going to meet at Kris Gifford's house tomorrow night at 6pm to discuss Brandi's book pick Johnny Tremain.  The food request for the evening will be Boston/colonial style food.  So be creative and lets have fun.  Here are some links to places you could find a recipe to make.  It isn't necessary but is fun to bring something new that you wouldn't normally eat.  Good luck and see you tomorrow

Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration


Here is a direct link to a great "music video" called: "Too Late To Apologize: A Declaration". It goes great with our story, "Johnny Tremaine", that shows us at some point, for the "colonists", it was "too late (for England) to apologize"! It's a fun video!
