Loving Frank & Grandparents

My mom gave me this book by Nancy Horan about Frank Lloyd Wright and his mistress Mamah Borthwick. At first, I thought it was just a fictional novel about a woman's relationship with him . Then, I found out she really existed and the relationship really happened. Although it is a fictional account many of the events are true, including her and her two children's murders. What a shocking ending to say the least. Still, it was a very interesting story and very well written. I would definitely recommend it.

On a completely different note...a while ago my parents sent these adorable gift bags for the kids. (There were four, but Will dug into his right away.) They were filled with the usual assortment of Halloween goodies and plenty of candy, of course. My favorite were these foam picture frame kits the kids decorated. Aren't grandparents the greatest?
Random thought #3. Yesterday Jimmy had his Fall Dance at school. He was so cute. (Can you still say that about an eleven-year-old?) He went from not wanting to go to 'can we please hurry up so I'm not late'. The dance started at 3PM right after school, but he wanted to come home first and change/brush his teeth, etc. So grown up. He mostly hung out with his friends eating and playing pranks but from what we can gather there might have been a girl he wanted to dance with. Oh no! Maybe that's what all the teeth brushing was about. My Jimmy likes a girl! I'll be alright...someday.
