Ok, I could not wait..I went to another library and checked out "A Christmas to Remember" by Thomas Kincaid and Katherine Spencer. I'd forgotten I'd read a few of their books earlier in the year but wanted to wait 'til this time of year to read the Christmas ones. I'm all happy now! smile

Can anyone recommend a nice book to read out loud to my mother?
The stories should be short, entertaining, funny, wise, etc.

Great question. I don't have a name, but how about a nice book with Christmas stories? Maybe she could reminisce of past Christmases...

Another thought might be some neat children's story books that she could recall from her childhood?

Or, if you think she would enjoy, how about a few peaceful Psalms?

What a lovely idea, and a great way to spend time together.

EW, one of the funniest most delightful books I ever read and have given away as gifts to several good friends is JJ's book;

A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Throne.

I kid you not, this book is hysterical, and many can relate to some of the happenings. Just my opinion as an avid reader and a book review writer.

YES!!!!And I have JJ's book! I'm going to give it a try. It is hilarious. I loved it. The only problem is, my mother is losing her english language, and sometimes has problems understanding. Unless your book has a German translation JJ...?

So if someone can recommend any other book, I can always see if I can find the German translation.

Dotsie, the children book idea is delightful. I'm going to look into that.

That's a good question, Dotsie. One day, I think she won't last till Christmas, and then the next day, like today, she told me she walked downtown to the Christmas market!!! Whaaat?! It's like she goes from one extreme to the other. But the main thing is, her shingles have healed...and she is in no more pain.
How are your Dads doing?
