I am a 40-something-year-old mother of four delightful children, have been married for 22 years to my carpenter husband, and live in a 1921 farm-style house. I find the most joy in my garden, growing and harvesting herbs and flowers and caring for our pet rabbits. I have a 21-year-old son, a 19-year-old son, a 16-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly (and very funny) 11-year-old daughter who is homeschooled. I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I'm a book lover, bird lover, gardener and aspiring herbalist. I seek no help for my thrift store addiction. I do medical transcription from home part-time.
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

I love Keep the Lights Burning Abbie! It is such a great story. We haven’t rowed The Little Red Lighthouse yet, but it’s on the calendar for this year so hopefully we’ll get to it!
Tar Beach is really a great go-along. I highly recommend it AND of course Keep the Lights Burning, Abbie. I want to row it with Michaela. I did with her brothers, but not her.

I can relate to Tar Beach. I grew up not to far
from GW bridge. I could see the tip of it
from my fourth floor apartment in Yonkers.
Demeca, that is so cool.
I love the whole concept of rooftop gardens and I love the little girl’s story about the bridge being hers. I think I would feel that way too.
Hugs,
Lynn
