Well Judy and I did something "out of our box." Instead of being snug home at dark, one night we went to a 7 p.m. lecture at Trinity University! That may not seem like a big deal to some of you but it was to us. Judy was totally excited to see a real published author in the flesh (and a best selling one at that.) But I was excited to see the man who had the experiences that I had read about in Three Cups of Tea. Ever since I worked with refugee students from Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Sudan I have been very interested in learning about their culture. Also reading The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns made me hungry to hear more. if you have not read these books, I strongly suggest you do so. So we got to hear Greg Mortenson, Judy got an autograph in her book, and we were both proud of ourselves for doing something different.

Boy, you can tell mom was excited in that picture.
Hey! You made me famous. Entry looks great. I did enjoy the evening.
Wow Margie! I was so excited to see that you got to meet Greg. THREE CUPS OF TEA is one of my all time favorite books. Way up there with To Kill A Mockingbird and others. He's such an inspiring, generous, adventurous soul! I hope to hear him speak some day too.
