Classics are something that grow on you. Yes.. they can seem dry at first.. but after you get into them.. you simply can not put them down.. I had a wonderful time with my daughter and her fiance.. it was a very blessed time. I have 4 of my children in mixed relationships... and I find it very wonderful.. and a huge blessings.. and very fun.. Every time their other half has asked.. are your parents going to be ok with this... and I'm thankful that each time my children have been able to say.. oh yes.. no worries.. We are all made in the image of God.. with all our differences.. it is what makes it all so amazing. We feel very blessed..

I will look them up. :) Classics are in a class by themselves.. they are something that grows on you.. easier if you were raised on them.. I hope our weather changes soon as well.. we've had a couple nice days.. but mostly rain.. I'm trying to just wait and be content.. :) Thanks for your comment..

I have a heart for the Classics but I honestly can't get into many of them. They seem dry, but perhaps it's just the ones I've read. Sherlock Holmes is nice, Jane Austen and a few others. I hope you really enjoy your daughter being back. Her fiance is very nice looking :) My husband and I are a mixed couple - its a blessing and fun.Rose @---}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18316113666369453499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055330933900013377.post-6755704576860732802017-03-09T17:47:04.970-08:002017-03-09T17:47:04.970-08:00How lovely to have your daughter and her fiancé ho...How lovely to have your daughter and her fiancé home, you must feel very blessed! It's always so nice when our families return from their adventures, safe and happy isn't it :) <br />I also love classics, especially Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. I studied literature at university and was in seventh Heaven reading the set classic texts! My parents also read these wonderful stories to us, and gave us not only a love for great writing, but respect for those books often considered "unfashionable" or no longer relevant by some modern educators. A friend also introduced me to Charlotte M. Yonge, an English novelist who wrote at the end of the 1800's. I think you would enjoy her books very much. Her stories revolve mostly around large families as they face life's journeys with help from their faith in God and the support of one another. They are really heartwarming books. My favourite I think is Daisy Chain, but I've enjoyed any that I've read. And they're nice and long, which is a great bonus for me :) I downloaded mine for free from Project Gutenberg.<br />I hope your rain and cold gives way to lovely sunny weather!<br />Kaynoreply@blogger.com
