Tired, and need to go to bed, but these few thoughts have been on my mind today and I wanted to get them down ( Read more... )

In honor of my attempts to revert back to my childhood and re-immerse myself in that glorious pastime known as Summer Reading...

TEN.  Hop on Pop.  [I taught myself how to read with Dr. Seuss. And this one was my favorite.]
