It Was Fun Reading Jimmy Carter's book 'Reflections at Ninety'
I recently
finished reading Past-President Jimmy Carter’s book, “Reflections at
Ninety.” What a fun read! We are the same age, and it was refreshing to
recognize so much of what he says about growing up in Georgia. It was the same in Virginia where I spent my
childhood… and I’m sure it was the same in most Southern rural communities. I chuckled aloud once in a while as I read
about his experiences in Plains, Georgia, and how they mimicked mine in the little
town of Fredericksburg. Pick up a copy
of this book and enjoy. Matters not your
political persuasion, or whether if you liked him as a president. The book is easy to read and paints a great
picture of a rural country boy growing up in Georgia, USA.
For my other
reading selections, I like history. An hour or two each day satisfies my addiction to
books… but if I can spend more time I
will. After all, I am captive in this
bedroom where the walls are covered with
family pictures and shelves with books. I
can’t escape. My caregivers transport me
from place to place, and I try to stay busy. The blog will add an additional stimulation to
keep the ole brain functioning at satisfactory levels… I hope. In the meantime, I am watching O2 levels and
checking my SATS (for all you nurses out
there!)

Jimmy Carter has always struck me as a thoughtful, gracious person committed to his principles. His work with Habitat for all these years has been an inspiration.
