I'm thankful for good memories but also those that helped me learn about relationships and life in general.<br />The pears look very good.

Oh the joy when I was old enough for my own library card!

I once ran out of the classroom howling in fury.

Come to think of it, my library books are waaaaay overdue and I haven't even read all of them, where does the time go?<br />Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving comments. It always gives me a little thrill, knowing someone is out there and takes the trouble to read and comment.<br />It's snowing today, and I am spending too much time blog-hopping, and not enough time on laundry...and I meant to bake bread today. I guess there's still time.WendyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171619702536045694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-17323972529472214672012-01-21T08:37:09.445-08:002012-01-21T08:37:09.445-08:00I like the sound of your day and your story about ...I like the sound of your day and your story about libraries. I have loved libraries ever since a very savy counselor got me a job during lunch in my sophomore year, in my high schools library. (I was having a hard time adjusting mid year) I have always felt comfort and love from a room filled with books. Still do!

I loved the children's section and joined the summer book clubs. I was determined I would read all the books in the library.

When you can't believe that the child has just done what has been done, more investigation is required. So many of us have failed on that score.<br /><br />My books are a mess. I want them to be lined up on the shelf. Nothing annoys me much more than books that are pushed all the way back with all that space in the front. It is not a good look. Note to self: Spend some time on the bookshelves.<br /><br />I have spent some time out of doors taking photos of the vivid blue sky and the white, white snow.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-50525779565097349532012-01-20T09:41:17.800-08:002012-01-20T09:41:17.800-08:00I've always thought of libraries as the most m...I've always thought of libraries as the most magical places in the world!<br /><br />Your pear desert sounds scrumptious.

A library card is as precious - or more important to me - than a credit card. My husband and I joke that I have built entire wings on libraries around the world with my overdue fines!<br />The small injustices of childhood haunt us all the more when they are as rare as yours. I was once falsely accused of some digression and spanked in front of the entire class. The teacher later appologised, but I was mortified.<br />Today? I'm just so happy to be home! I won't be budging until this messy weather is history.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
