A Hundred Dresses, Books Galore

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

You may have tangible wealth untold.
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be –
I had a mother who read to me.

Lucky me.  25 cents.  An excellent book that is on my current list of must-reads.  Don’t you just love old books?

One of our rituals is bedtime reading.  We may travel to Europe before we go to sleep.  We may tame a wild animal or two.  Sometimes we make a new friend before we close our eyes.  Often we learn of someone who lived and endured hardships to make the world a better place.

Libraries make me giddy.  I shall never have enough books.  My favorite room to think about creating is my someday library.  If it comes to pass, it will have bright buttery-yellow walls, large windows, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, two overstuffed chairs for me and Hubby, and little rocking chairs for (fingers crossed) grandchildren.

Now.  Let’s turn off the electronic noise and go read.  :)
