At Home in Mitford

My latest book adventure is the Mitford series by Jan Karon. I heard about it from some friends and thought I'd give it a try.

I've only just begun, I'm about six chapters in the first book "At Home in Mitford" and it's such a delight!

Here's the blurb on amazon:

It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. Yet, Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's sixty years old. Suddenly, Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And readers get a rich comedy about ordinary people and their ordinary lives.

I can relate to Father Tim in some interesting ways. He started jogging for his health (I've been a jogger/runner most of my adult life). He turned 60 on his birthday (I am 60). He also quotes Bible verses to go with what's happening in his life (me, too!) 

Here's to learning all about this intriguing town of Mitford and the interesting characters created by Jan Karon!
