Mailed to Kiki66

Easy going and enjoyable - a nice "bath tub" reading! :-)

Thanks again for the RABCK!!

Oswald Campbell doesn't have much to live for, except to cash his paltry pension check, drop in on the occasional AA meeting, and visit the VA hospital. Dreading another winter in Chicago, he takes in stride the news that his emphysema will probably take his life before Christmas. Having no family except an ex-wife, who has since moved on, Oswald follows his doctor's advice and spends his final months in a more comfortable climate. By chance, he ends up in Lost River, Alabama, a sleepy town with so many single, older women that Frances Cleverdon, a widow, hopes that Oswald will turn out to be someone's knight in shining armor. Not quite the Romeo they had hoped for, Oswald nonetheless is taken under folks' wings. Without noticing how it happens, Oswald comes to love Lost River, visiting the town store and the feisty redbird that lives there, waiting out at the dock for the river-faring postman to bring the mail, or accepting myriad dinner invitations from the town's women. Flagg based Lost River on her own hometown, and though such places may actually exist, there nevertheless is an allegorical feel to this little tale of hope, friendship, and common decency. Intended as a Christmas story, it would be readable year-round.(amazon)

back home to me...

I was sitting at home, with a cold, reading a book of ghost stories from the library. I look up to see a package that has been pushed into the 'hand' gap in our fence next to the letter box! I raced out to get it and found this lovely little book! and it's traveled a long way to get here on a VERY warm Christmas Eve!
Thanks Kiki66~!!!

This book is my #1 for the
2010 'KEEP THEM MOVING' Challenge arranged by Guinaveve.

Fannie Flagg dropped in with a Redbird Christmas. I like this author. The book is small so will not take long for me to read it and pass it along to the next reader.

This was a fairly simple little story but very sweet.Most of the characters were just that.. characters. The type that I think I would have enjoyed meeting. Fannie Flagg does not disappoint.
I am waiting for the mailing info for the next reader so I should soon have the book on its way.
