Robinson, you are a literary force to be reckoned with!!

Okay, so after extensive searching, I've concluded that the end for which God created the world is simply to find this bloody book!!!! If anyone knows where to search, please let me know. Also, Home is amazing. Only 50 pages in and Robinson is already pulling at my emotional strings. Of course, it also could have been the combo of trying to read a few pages while watching Extreme Home Makeover. Anyway, again let me know if you have found the Edwards' text. Thanks guys.

List revisited

I had nothing to do and thought it would be fun to condense my list by taking some of the books off that we've done. It just gives us an idea about some of the options, among endless others, that we've mentioned doing. I'm really enjoying the odyssey by the way. "Homer, I bow to thee!" Hope you all are doing well.
