I love the cover for The Poppy Factory and I always enjoy Sheryl Wood's books so I'm going to go see if that one is still available. Your a bad influence.

She's also the child who is most likely going the farthest away for college.

One of the main reasons I was attracted to the book is that my great grandparents got divorced and I've always wondered about the causes since getting divorced in the early 1900s in Georgia was most definitely not socially acceptable or all that common.<br />So far school is going well across the board!

There's a lot of kind of sarcastic delivery that I kind of missed while reading it!

When are we going to read all these books though?<br />Yes, so far very lucky with the drop off. The kid in front of us this morning wouldn't get out of the car and when he did he was sobbing. I was so grateful that I have never had to deal with that.
