I have recently joined a not for profit organization that groups together young foster children with people whom love to read.  I finally have a good excuse to be in the children's section of the library, since I have started with my reading buddy.

I am in love with with Sydney and the Whalebird by David Elliot.  Just one of the many books I have borrowed.  It is a great adventure story of a lovable penguin who can't stop inventing.  Until one day he gets his friend Bill the Whale beached on the land.  He quickly comes  to Bill's rescue with yet another ingenious idea, a seaweed parachute. You don't think it's going to work until that wonderful moment when Bill is slowly lifted off the ground!  They fly over the ocean and back into safety. 

I would love to hear about your favorite books as a child, or the books you are reading to your children.

Today my head is in the clouds.  I must admit it probably will be until Saturday around 4:30 p.m.  It's amazing how "just squeeze me in somewhere" is so loosely tossed around the salon these days!  I know, I want my hair to look nice for Santa too!

Hello again!

Today I wanted to share with you a quote from the book I am reading. It is called Misfortune written by Wesley Stace. I found it at a bookstore marked down to $4.99. What a gem!

The reason I am sharing this quote today is because it is a situation that happens to the best of us. There is no denying that point when the book closes, even though you are dying to find out the end, or lays on across your chest only to be put away safely later in the evening by your loved one.
