I find myself sitting up later and later each evening just trying to catch up with all the things that should have been done earlier in the day. However, I wouldn't change it for the world; my blog has given me the opportunity to meet so many lovely people – just like you! <br />I really enjoyed the post about your mother you painted all the pictures I needed to see.<br />Take care and try not to work too hard.

And thank you for coming to my post; my mother died 27 years ago, this poem was written maybe 3 weeks ago, and I had blogger issues when I published it, so I'm not sure it is was the best choice for some readers, but it's all I had to post. But I do appreciate kind friends like you coming to read what I have.<br /><br />I love these choices today but I am not familiar with any of them! The covers alone suggest that they are charming and enchanting in a great way to quickly become anyone's favorite - at any age!<br /><br />THANK YOU AGAIN my dear friend!

I was never allowed to trick or treat and if they had caught me with a book that had witches in it, they would have probably killed me just to save me (slightly over dramatic, but not by much). I missed out on all the great magic books, but I found them as an adult. I have managed to convince my mom that letting my kids read or watch Harry Potter was not going to turn them into witches just as reading the Wall Street Journal has never made me wealthy. I discovered Roald Dahl's books about two years ago and I've been hooked. The Witches is by far one of my favorite books ever!Lovelytl33https://www.blogger.com/profile/16906929761572821031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-19226850637150214312013-10-29T00:36:41.687+00:002013-10-29T00:36:41.687+00:00Perfect Halloween post!
