Just ordered this book, anyone ever hear of it?? PRAIRE GIRLS GUIDE TO LIFE.
Just started reading LAKE WOBEGONE DAYS. I have seen this around but never read it. Got it at a second hand book site.

I bought it Nancy Jo. It's full of all sorts of stuff, recipes, crafts, ect. I've enjoyed it.
I read LWD last summer. I picked it up used last year too. I have never heard Garrison Kellior on the radio before, but I liked the book and enjoyed his sense of humor.

Sounds like a great book. Think I'm gonna pick me up a copy when I go out later. Thanks for letting me know about it.

OMG!! I Actually had put this in my "Basket" on Amazon when I ordered several books a few weeks ago, but I took it out (don't remember WHY-- probably was ordering too many. I LOVE books!!!) I will just have to order it after all! Thanks for sharing! ~~ Tracy

Ok, I had a little more time to look through it and I like this one a lot. Really good projects and advice. It inspired me quite a bit. Are there any more books like it out there???

Yes, I have read it. I got it through the library. It has some good and basic advice. The directions are clear and concise!
