Blog?

Yet another new entrant into the world of "Blogging". No idea what I'm doing! But, never did stop me before. Thanks Trish, for dragging me farther into the 21st.

This Blog is to be a help mate for parents like me; during the past 15 years, I found three children under the cabbages and they are readers. BIG readers. Perhaps this is genetic. I still remember "27" as the book limit when checking out from the Mark Twain Library in my early years. Frustrating to be so limited.

In any case, reading is certainly the relaxation past time of choice here on our farm, and I know from those early reading years that not all reading material is equal (especially when it comes to appropriateness for les petit-choux)! So, I read. Sometimes I pass the book through the 5' tall door that leads to the clothing massacre that is my children's rooms. This is done with the understanding that Mom does not have the fortitude to relocate the book once passed, so the book must appear back on the library table to be returned, or else the fine is on you. Often times the book doesn't pass through the door.

I think, perhaps, my opinions on these books might be useful for other parents with "a book a night" kids looking for new reading material that doesn't inspire delinquency. And, some recommendations for the adults too (delinquency permitted).

So, putting this blog in the ground, and see if it grows anything. My peas and lettuces are coming along nicely, maybe this blogging thing will work too.
