UPDATE: our Katrina Refugee, Leslie Ferdinand


Eloisa's Entryway

Hi everybody! I just talked to Leslie, and it was a fun conversation, because I went downstairs and opened boxes with her on the telephone. And Squawkers...you have done us proud!! Leslie now has plates and cups; she has movies for the children and books for herself; she has clothes for herself, her mom, and the children -- AND she has lotions and shampoos enough to go on thousands of dates (although she tells me she's done with men).

We started talking about books...like all of us, books are some of the things she misses most keenly. So I asked her: if you had known what you know now, what's the one book that you would have taken with you (not family photo albums, nor a bible, but a novel).

Here's Leslie's pick -- she's couldn't narrow it to just one book:

Baby Blessed, by Debbie Macomber
the Outlander series, by Diana Gabaldon

I know some of you have asked me if there's any other keepers Leslie misses...well there they are. If you can find them...bless you!

And if the waters were rising and YOU had to leave the house (loved ones, photo albums and pets intact) -- and you could only bring one book, what would it be?
