A Visit with friends

This is a wonderful book - each story is a small jewel, carefully polished, so that by the end of the book you feel like you have personally met a whole new group of friends. Some of the stories are also extremely funny in a dry sort of way. My kids wanted to know what Mom was laughing at!

Don't miss this one!
