What a beautiful piece of you that you chose to write about, Melinda! Who doesn't remember the excitement that came with that first library card? I remember it like it was yesterday.

I agree that I read mostly on my kindle nowadays, especially when I am away from home, it is just so much easier and makes sense. But, it cannot take the place of having a binding between my hands.

I love how your father gave you all the rules before. He sounds like he was a wonderfully patient and loving man.
