Inspite of the fact that I told my husband no gifts this year (our trip to East Africa was a fabulous gift!) he gave me an iPad!! So I have been playing around with it a little bit. Have not loaded any books onto it yet but think I will try to download something from the library. Just need to select a book. The reason I thought I would prefer an iPad over a Kindle is I can order and download books from a independent bookseller instead of being limited to Amazon. Try to support the local businesses when I can. Lovely Christmas Eve and Day. Beautiful church service and the church was beautiful Christmas Eve (picture is courtesy of my friend Roy). Sunday we spent with my family- a little hectic and noisy but fun. My husband was given the Steve Job bio which I can't wait to read (very long).
