Grace is almost a year old and loves books, too. She was delighted to get many at Christmas. Gives me hope for the future to see sweet little book lovers like yours and mine.<br /><br />Second, my cousin gave me Death Comes to Pemberley and gave The Greater Journey to my sister. My sister and I have agreed to swap books after we finish them.<br /><br />Have a happy, healthy, humane New Year!joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-3524945858304698892011-12-28T23:33:34.348-05:002011-12-28T23:33:34.348-05:00I love photographs.
