[Miss Marple]

My son was and still is a voracious reader. I think he read about 20 books on that trip. Also bought about 20 t-shirts!!

I think everyone should make one car trip west just to see the plains, the mountains, and how very, very beautiful and BIG our country is.

Mr HOB and I plan to do that in the next few years. I would love for my father to come along with us in a travel home so that we could include the dogs.

You see, I don't think Mr HOB would leave Panda home now. He's so in love with that puppy.

I read all of the Hardy Boys mysteries, Nancy Drew mysteries, William deFoe's famous Robinson Crusoe, and Treasure Island ( in parts), and oh so many others. They were wonderful stories that I've tried introducing my nieces to but they are not the readers that I was. I don't think my nephew has read these stories either - can I blame the schools? Please?
