HELLO!
As I type, it is raining outside...Barbara! HELLO! <br /><br />As I type, it is raining outside. The forecast for our summer was that it would be a wet season, and so it is. But books make all the clouds go away. <br /><br />What a profound impact literature has had on many of us as children, right? I can remember the first few years as a preschooler, waving a pencil like a wand, putting the point to paper, and creating what I thought was my own book. Inspired by Madeline, Dr. Seuss and other American authors, I felt a sort of "permission" to follow suit. As an only child, my only siblings were those in my imagination, not those found in books. However, books invited me to play and to carry out this play in my encounter with dolls, playing house, and interacting with pencil and paper.<br /><br />What a sweet life. Enjoy a good book today and sail away....Castles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.com
