thankful for libraries & readers

my reading nephews
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! My list of things and people for which I'm grateful is long. It grows daily.

Today I'm thinking of libraries and teachers and parents who encourage their kids to read. This photo was taken by a 4th grade teacher who continues to inspire and encourage me. He's a great dad and a wonderful friend, and I'm his proud big sister.

My nephews love their neighborhood library. And lucky me, they love showing off my books! I'm thankful, and hopeful about the future. Great things lie ahead in a world with children who love to read.

What an adorable picture! But, then I'm a bit biased being a twin myself! :) And those boys are quite cute...

Oh you lucky twin! My girlfriends and I saw the movie "Parent Trap" with Hayley Mills when we were about 12, and from that moment on, we were SURE we each had a secret IDENTICAL twin somewhere, and wished wished WISHED it were true!
