I might be committing a blog “no-no” by combining two subjects into one blog entry but…that’s okay.

First up…audio books.  Remember those days as a kid?  You’d sit with a special audio book and wait anxiously for the “ding” that would be your que to turn the page.

We’ve recently been requesting audio books from our local library for Evan’s enjoyment.  I forgot how fun it was to sit and listen to a favorite story like that!  He finds the “chime” sound very intriguing and he’s very proud of himself when he turns the page at just the right time.  Our first book was by Arnold Lobel.  He’s a favorite of ours.  He writes all of the “Frog & Toad” books along with many others that we love. Not only are these audio books a fun way for Evan to spend 20 minutes, but it’s a nice break for mom.  We read aloud several books a day, but there’s something special about an audio book, too.  We’re anxious to start listening to our new children’s Bible audio CD’s for a “treat!”

Next…tea.  My husband and I have discovered a new tea that we BOTH love.  Hubby is a coffee drinker and always will be, but he really enjoys our new “brew” as well. Yorkshire Gold is the name. It’s a rich, dark, smooth black tea and, boy, is it good.  If you have a chance, get some.  It’s worth it!
