I'm so glad these books exist -- I would have devoured them when I was a kid! Thank you for bringing all these wonderful books to print.<br /><br />I am so very sorry for your loss; your posts about your husband are just beautiful. Thank you for sharing; you're wonderful writer.<br /><br />Take care,<br />SabrinaSabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857226528006326411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-76187319771200691222017-01-15T08:02:27.746-05:002017-01-15T08:02:27.746-05:00Beautiful post, Alvina!

(I just completed Couch to 5K, which feels like a massive achievement!) How wonderful of Hachette to gift you the paving stone. My friend has sewn some wonderful quilts for people using cherished fabrics. Here's to a happy 2017, politics notwithstanding.karen ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05595346107578248030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21394993.post-81115291581839673582016-12-26T15:08:20.774-05:002016-12-26T15:08:20.774-05:00Many blessings to you, Alvina.
