September 11th

My kids wore red, white, and blue to school today.  In honor of those who died on September 11th...it's Patriot Day.

The date reminded me of a book I read this summer called Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer,

a touching story about a boy whose dad dies in the twin towers.  It is a lovely, well-written, discovery.  I loved it and highly recommend it.  You will fall madly in love with Oskar Schell.  Happy reading.
