Number three is down .... now, I'm waiting for number four of the Adriana Trigiani series Home to Big Stone Gap. Milk Glass Moon was VERY good - it's funny, for a novel, I've managed to walk away learning a little more about MYSELF with each of her books. NOW - I have to wait until May 5th - the due date for the next book Home to Big Stone Gap at the library. BUT - these are books I wish I had originally purchased. Hopefully the 'reader' who has my book enjoys it as much as I enjoyed the first three and reads it QUICKLY :).

Proverbs 16:9 (from The Message Bible)
We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it.
Sven and Ole worked together in a Minnesota factory ... and both were laid off. So ... they went to the Unemployment Office together.
Asked his occupation, Ole said, "Panty Stitcher. I sew da elastic onto da ladies cotton panties." The clerk looked up Panty Stitcher. Finding it classified as unskilled labor, she gave Ole $300 a week in unemployment compensation.
Sven, when asked his occupation replied, "Diesel Fitter". The clerk looked up Diesel Fitter ... and it was classified as a skilled job. So, the clerk gave Sven $600 a week in unemployment compensation.
When Ole Found this out, he was furious! He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his benefits. The clerk explained, "Panty Stitchers are unskilled labor and Diesel Fitters are skilled labor."
"Vat skill?" yelled Olie. "I sew da elastic on da panties. Sven puts dem over his head and says, "Yah, ......... DIESEL FITTER".
(If you don't understand a word of this, then you're not Norwegian or from Minnesota!!! To bad!)
