Hi, Girls.... There they were. Just sitting right by my big chair. Two books that I had started and abandoned. Two happy books. Book #1: Cider With Rosie.... by Laurie Lee. A man, Laurie, has writted a beautiful book about his childhood in Wales right between the two world wars. It is simply enchanting. He has written several other books, but this is the first of his I have read. Book #2: Only When I Laugh, by Gladys Workman. Gladys moved to Scottsburg, OR in about 1950 when her husband became ill. She writes about her days in the small town. I was reading part of it aloud to Ed, ( my husband) and we were just laughing out loud. I haven't laughed that much while reading a book..... ever. It was a scene where some city slickers happened in to their really dumpy cabin and became overwhelmed with the pathetic circumstances. Well, Ed and I just bought a little cabin in Scottsburg so we are tickled to read about the surrounding area.
So.... here's to happy books..... especially in the holiday season..... Linda
