The First Book I Ever Loved

This past week, I bought on amazon.com a copy of the first book I ever loved.  Of course, it's a picture book...''Baby Farm Animals'' by Garth Williams.   I can see myself now, sprawled on the living-room carpet, looking at the pictures. That's one of my earliest memories.

And I can't BEGIN to count the times I asked to have it read!

Even now, I could read it over and over.  Even now!

Computer Issues

I've been having problems with my computer, which is why I haven't posted lately.  Good thing I dropped my Currently Reading list!
