One of Joash's latest favourite things to do is measure things. It all started when he started asking questions like "How long is this?" and "How big is this?" So we would get out the ruler to see. Then I had a measuring tape out to measure something and Joash thought that was pretty cool. Not only does it have numbers on it and move in and out, but it also has a little handle and button you can slide up an down! He has been measuring all sorts of things around the house. Most things are about 4 cm long, he tells me (probably because one of the first things we measured together actually was 4 cm).
A fter years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. I really enjoyed this book. The characters in it were interesting and unique. While some thing
