A THANK YOU

The stories of childhood leave
 an indelible impression, and
their author always has a niche
 in the temple of memory from
which the image is never cast
 out to be thrown on the rubbish
heap of things that are outgrown
 and outlived. 

~Howard Pyle


Not long ago I was the lucky
winner of a sponsored giveaway

hosted by Lisa aka earthmama 101.
Ever since the boxes of books
arrived we have been enjoying

not only reading them, but
finding that little fire that lights
our imagination leading us
on numerous rabbit trails of
fairies, mudcakes and childhood
dreams.
Thank you Lisa and Valarie
for not only enriching our days,
but a childhood too.

  9. Swallows and Amazons -- was just thinking of starting that series. Every time we go to the local bookstore, I pull those down from the shelves, wondering if my oldest is old enough. Enjoy those great reads.
