Penny From Heaven

I just started reading this children's book Penny from Heaven by Jennifer L. Holm. I picked it from my shelf of books for my future classroom and read a 100 pages in between working on my lemon bars (first time with lemon bars and I don't think they turned out right though I wouldn't know because I always pick whatever is chocolate). Anyway, the girl gets her nickname from her dad's favorite song (which happens to be the Bing Crosby song you are listening to right now). I liked the sentiment of the song and it follows pretty well what is going on in the lives of the characters so far... a lot of unhappy people for whom dreams have died. I imagine things will turn out really well for them because that's the point right? April showers bring May flowers! Such has been my life recently and can I just say, the little May buds are sure looking promising!

P.S. Just got back from the party I took the lemon bars to...turns out they were a hit. I got a lot of compliments. I didn't have one of course...gotta love chocolate!
