Now on to Chapters 6-10!<br /><br />I love that you have been to the CW house, Penny. I didn't even know there was such a place. How wonderful.<br /><br />And, how generous of Kate to 'share' her moon with her friend. She must take after her mom!Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-59611123379461814302013-06-24T11:42:19.366-04:002013-06-24T11:42:19.366-04:00I hope your discussion goes well today, Belle. I a...I hope your discussion goes well today, Belle. I admire what you are doing.<br /><br />Yes. I did read "Caddie Woodlawn" and I have visited the Caddie Woodlawn site near Menominee, WI, though not when the house was opened. It is a beautiful site, just off the road, with forest and farm still around it. Frontier life has always captivated me. <br /><br />No view of the supermoon last night due to cloud cover here. Goodnight Moon was always a favorite with our daughters. When youngest, Katy, went off to college, she and her new roommate chatted long into the night, as those things goes when one goes off to school for the first time. Finally, Katy said "goodnight moon". Kim did not know the book. Kate, being Kate, was incredulous - so, gave her the book for a birthday present. <br /><br />I do ramble.

Hattie is really ...Thanks for your comments, Penny. Hattie is really quite lively. I am learning a bit about American history as well. And, how to make a poultice to staunch bleeding! I am meeting with my young friend tomorrow to compare notes on Chapters 1-5. We shall see how it goes. <br /><br />Did you read "Caddie Woodlawn" as a girl? I loved it and re-read it a couple of years ago and was amazed at how much I still was enthralled by this story of growing up on the frontier in the 1860s. I highly recommend it!Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335523622158333456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148557807474310110.post-78031392862684589602013-06-22T21:39:51.447-04:002013-06-22T21:39:51.447-04:00I can't imagine having to buy those quantities...I can't imagine having to buy those quantities and at such distances either, not to mention doing it at the age of 16! This is just the type of story that captivated me as young girl, and still does, Belle. I will be reading this, I am sure. <br /><br />I find it quite wonderful that you are reading this along with this young girl. I hope it will be engaging for her and spur her on to other books. I don't know what I would have done without books as I entered 8th grade. I had friends, but, girls are often so fickle at that age. Books are not. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this.Penny O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665025558373015362noreply@blogger.com
