National Book Month: Give-Away Part 2
Thanks for sharing your reading experiences on the last blog post. I enjoyed reading every comment. Some took me to a trip down memory lane. The bookmobile! A library on wheels.

October: National Book Month and a Blog Give-away
My Dad gave me a love for words and books. One of my favorite memories of him, is sitting in his favorite chair reading. I grew up with lots of books in my home, but his collection was unusual; some were in different languages.

What’s Your Assignment? Back to School and Life
While many were still covered with sunscreen and sand from beach trips, school supplies appeared on store shelves. It seemed way too early to think about school, but with the calendar page flipping to August, the start of school is a reality and we are in full swing with school shopping.

Good morning: Prayer

As promised, I drew a winner for Crickett Keith's book...well, my grandson drew the name from all who responded with a comment. The...
