There was an...I'm not surprised it's Barbara Bush. There was an excellent article about her in Reader's Digest that profoundly influenced me in my approach to encouraging my children to read. She said the best way we can encourage our kids to love reading is to "Read, read, read." She encouraged parents to read to their kids even after the children learnedto read for themselves. And so we did. What a boatload of precious memories we have in addition to our girls loving reading about as much as we do.Karen Wingatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922983662282862282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13980015.post-88369460965839524292008-02-13T17:29:00.000-05:002008-02-13T17:29:00.000-05:00Barbara Bush!!

I always want more books and haven't bought many in the past year. I'm currently reading through my collection . . . again, and culling and weeding. I have entirely too many books, this despite having gifted away over 4,500 of my precious friends in the last 4 yrs. To remain on my shelves the book must be by one of my all time favorite authors, classic literature, or favorites I read again and again just because I love the book. An arduous task, one I secretly despise because I want to keep them all. However, my husband insists on being able to walk through the house unimpeded, to be able to place things on table tops which are free of stacks of books (ditto for floor space) and he refuses to put another bookshelf anywhere in the house (and believe me, I tried to convince him what we really need to do is carve into the walls and retrofit them with built-in shelving ... in 3 rooms in the house! Imagine this, he won't!).<BR/><BR/>Wait, today's mystery. My initial thought was Margaret Thatcher, except she's famous in her own right. So now I'm stumped, and feeling Pooh-ish I'm going to retreat to my thoughtful spot and see what emerges from my vast store of unrelated trivial information!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the plug, dear Crystal, but I am not that smart . . . just a repository of odd bits of information, that may or not be retrievable on demand! I plead "Mom-entia" since I'm convinced raising children creates a serious deficiency of "little grey cells." <BR/><BR/>Off to ponder,<BR/>Wild Blue Yonder Girl (Carrie)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
