Raining here—maybe when I get off work, I’ll celebrate romance week by reading a good romance novel and then see what hubby’s doing!

That place is going to be tops on my “gotta go there when I win the lottery” list. :)

In 1950, some careless person started the terrible Capitan Gap wild fire on the Lincoln National Forest in New Mexico. When a strong wind suddenly swept the fire toward a group of courageous firefighters, 24 of them had to run to a rock slide, lay face down, and cover their faces with handkerchiefs to escape the deadly flames. They emptied their canteens over their clothes and swatted their burning clothes. After an hour, the fire moved on. All 24 survived. When the smoke cleared and they caught their breath, they saw a scorched hillside where once a great forest stood.

Amongst the smoldering ashes was a tiny black bear cub, burnt and afraid, clinging to a tree. The cub was nicknamed Hotfoot Teddy [though the Kennedy family denies Ted was seen leaving town shortly thereafter]. They searched for the cubs mother, but could not find her. The cub needed veterinary aid for the burns on his paws and hindquarters, so he was flown to Santa Fe to receive professional treatment. While his wounds were healing, he stayed at the home of Ray Bell, the game warden who flew him to Santa Fe. Ray's daughter Judy befriended the little bear and helped nurse him back to health.

In celebration of book day ...
Books
Books in boxes. Books in racks.
Books in hallways. Books in stacks.
Books on shelves and closets tall.
Books on every patch of wall.
Books where sunlight makes them fade.
Books around that Ive mislaid.
Books my wife has gathered in.
Books beginning now to win.
Taking over in my life,
Books now keep me from my wife.
In the doorway of the den,
Stacks of books have grown again.
I go around the other way,
Easing back to hit the hay.
Unless subtly they have crept,
Into the space where once I slept.
Striving now to find a nook,
Not encumbered by a book,
I subside into my chair,
To find a book is waiting there.
Some few minutes reading now,
Will help me with my sleep somehow.
And when I nod and stiffly wake,
Ive lost my place, for Heavens Sake!

Awwwwww..........Smokey Bear. My favorite relative! He’s actually the only bear in the family that made anything of himself. We’re very proud of him.

My daughters — 22 and 25 years old — just can’t relate to Betty.
I bought a DVD of her old cartoons, thought we would watch them as a family, and they can’t stand them.
Makes me sad.

Thanks for the cute Book poem, nnb - looks like I missed that holiday when I posted today's, but honestly I used two calendar sites, and it wasn't there.

Thanks, Sundog. I love that “Good Ship Lollipop”! Between that and the Pennsylvania Polka that I’ve been listening to, I can’t quit smiling this morning.
