The Waltons. Is that the same Waltons that had a TV show about it years ago? If so, who is the author?
Sorry for the delayed reply - I've had a few days away. Yes, the same Waltons. This book was by Robert Weverka. It was the Easter Story, based on the same episode (I think it was a 'double') the one where Olivia has polio.

And to continue.... I finished with Dannie of Cedar Cliffs, it was ok but not great.
Picked up a cheap copy of the Shack over the weekend and read that. Found it quite thought provoking with some really helpful analogies (if that's the right word for them) - like the walking on the water thing in it.
Now reading Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood, that my daughter lent me. It's very interesting :) (so far - am on about page 150)

Yes Crossbearer, I do. Albeit I speak very broken Spanish. I understand Spanish quite a bit better than I can speak it. I am of Spanish decent(Spaniard, not just Spanish speaking in general) but born in the US. I spent 3 months in Spain back in 04, and 2-3 weeks in Nicaragua in 06, plus.....23 years on a job site with primarily Spanish speaking workers.(Dad owned a construction business, and I rode along since I was one year old)
What I really miss about spain, In particular the Barrio we were in inside madrid, was the street market on tuesdays(or thursdays some weeks). I miss being able to walk around and see how the neighbors made some spare cash. One VERY nice little old lady made sketches of all of the major buildings that I just ADORED. I ended up spending about 10 USD to bring back 15 or so small paintings/drawings of the various monuments and buildings(Almost what we see in draftsmans plans, but more detail)

It is a pain, not because of the archaic, but because it is written.....Weird. I don't exactly know how else to say it. Reading it, then translating it, seems to me like trying to read Old English, after you pass it through 2 other languages....(that and some of the conjugations and tenses are not what you expect.)

Now that I think of it, I've read the entire Bible in Spanish. And no, I don't translate into English in my head...unless I want to. So maybe I can cope with Cervantes.
I've gotten things out of the Spanish version that I did not get out of the English version.

I finished the Margaret Atwood book (Alias Grace) It had a big surprise near the end and then you found out the last bit by letters between some of the characters. It was based on a real murder case from the 1800s.
Now started on Mercy by Jodi Picoult. Have wanted to read this one for a while and found it in the library the other day.
