Reading Out Loud

When you were a kid, did your parents read to you out loud?  I know that when I was growing up, I loved it when my mom would sit in the hall at night and read to us.  (The only problem was that I tended to fall asleep quickly and missed most of the reading.  I had to catch up on my own the next day.)  The Chronicles of Narnia and Caddie Woodlawn were just a couple of my favorites.

Just because I'm an adult now, doesn't mean I don't enjoy reading books out loud anymore.  I love it!  Fortunately, Jeremy feels the same way.  Whether we are in the car on a road trip, sipping a cup of tea in the evening, or are sitting in the car dealership waiting for one of the recall parts on my car to be checked (like yesterday), we love reading out loud together.  The latest book we read was The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  If you haven't read it and enjoy fun, exciting mysteries, we would recommend that you read it.  Hmmm....now we just have to decide what's next.
