I’m almost done “reading” (listening) to the radio theater version of At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon. I have about 2 sections on the last CD left to listen to, which will be done while running errands tomorrow.

Mom, Jaynee, my Uncle Bill, and others have all encouraged me several times to read these books. I got through half of the first one a few years ago - I couldn’t stand how sweet it was and put it down.

But I have to say that this drama version has been fantastic listening. The cast of actors on this recording is excellent, the sound effects are amazing, I feel like I’m listening to an old-fashioned radio drama. I feel like I’m in Mitford - a fly on the wall in a way. This is better than an ordinary audio book and I’m hoping that Focus on the Family (who did this recording) will do the rest of the books. In the meantime, I plan a visit to my library tomorrow, to see about borrowing the next couple of books in the series.

Thanks, Mom, for a great Christmas gift.
