Your photos are wonderful as well. <br />I found an old Trixie Belden book when my mother sold the family home. I remember I was not into my teens when I read it. The cover is taped on and the pages are all yellowed but I can't bear to part with it! I also have a few school books from the early grades. I will keep those too. My hubby thinks I'm a pack rat! :) These books hold memories for me and are not worth anything to anyone else but I'm glad I have them. <br />Thanks for sharing your treasures.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555171132259127071.post-73430797565511824712011-04-14T21:12:05.310-04:002011-04-14T21:12:05.310-04:00Words do mean a lot..to give and to recieve..words...Words do mean a lot..to give and to recieve..words written in a book, a journal, a letter..even a blog..Words that are spoken, words to hear.

I'm trying to read and enjoy blogs to while away the time. In the middle of this busy public place, I came to your simple pleasure and I'm having, for lack of a better word, "a moment".<br /><br />You captured a passion of my heart in both words and pictures. I kept scrolling and looking and reading and trying not to covet your wonderful simple pleasure. <br /><br />To find the cancer calendar tucked in one book can be nothing less than a wink from God. It doubles, even triples the pleasure. <br /><br />I loved this. I was honored to read it.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555171132259127071.post-69974677888724530922011-04-14T18:35:45.862-04:002011-04-14T18:35:45.862-04:00What a treasure collection you have there.
