I was just reading your ABOUT. I saw no place to comment. How interesting! And your books look wonderful. I taught young children for years…..and years. I loved to read to them and they loved being read to. I can’t imagine a home without books. But sometimes the only place some of my students were read to was at school.

Sorry I have turned ‘Comments’ off for that page! Sadly so many homes do not have bookd these days, while I have got far too many!

I must pay more attention to ones’ entire site. I can’t imagine how I missed seeing this.

Welcome and thank you. I know how difficult it is to look through a whole site – time has its limits and I’m equally guilty when it comes to other sites!

lots of work and hours put in. Your title reminded me of the house i grew up in. It needed work but dad put the money to groceries, clothes, car maintenance, and provisions. we had trees around our property that were small in size and dad always told me not…to climb them. Might either create a blog or website showing what i enjoyed at “homeplace”.
