One down and one to go. Adam and Vanessa had a wonderful start on their life together. Now the focus turns to my daughter who is getting married in April. Her and David are awesome together!
Lists! I make lists nearly everyday. List for groceries, a “to do” list, list of guests, list of goals, list for my husband to pick up things before coming home from work. Lists, Lists, Lists! So I turned my attention to Lists in my Life.
First up is one of my first loves. Reading. I can’t remember not reading. My mother has been and is an tenacious reader. One of my favorite items in my house growing up is that mom and dad’s classic bookend busts that held three books that were published by Readers Digest of some of the great classics.
Reading was more than just gaining information. Reading was about experiencing life with words. Heidi is one of my favorites still today. I can see Grandfather, Goat Peter, Grandmother. I can taste the goat’s milk and cheese that Heidi ate in the loft with the fresh hay.
Little Women is a book I still read annually. What a beautiful story of real families in a real world of problems. I wanted to marry Laurie and I so wanted to be a writer like Jo! What an influence these books had on me.

ReplyDeletegreat lo!
I love this weeks question I was and is am a big reader. . .
ReplyDeleteI am glad you have a day of sunshine enjoy it. We have rain out here today which makes it a good day to read or just crawl back into bed!
Love, love, LOVE the layout and that you included a picture of yourself when you are younger.
ReplyDeleteI am taking Ali Edward's Yesterday and Today class at Big Picture Scrappbooking and I may use your idea!
Debby, lovely layout! I love reading, always have, and Little Women is one of my favorites, too. Two standout memories from my childhood are the day we got our library cards and the first day I was allowed to check out a book from the adult section. It was a Perry Mason mystery, LOL.
ReplyDeleteWOW! Is that embossed Core'dinations cardstock ever a great choice for this adorable project! Thanks for showing it.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy page is done for the week. .. it was a tough week of being sick I think it needs something but can not come up with something that makes it seem like it should be there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding that I should put my age on the picture so they will know how old I am years from now.
