Then it became playing "Pickles" at the park (Mommy looks too relaxed *um, if this is possible while chasing a 1 year old Chloe and being pregnant with Kanah* ...quick, think up an interactive scenario for her..."Hey, Mom! You're Mrs. Goodkind and I'm Pickles, and...") Especially if it was a park with a pole to slide down. We got him a hardback edition for Christmas this year. We still play Pickles occasionally, but he is moving on to bigger things, and it's not the all-consuming game that it once was.

I have a vague recollection of Patty. I'm like Monica, I remember Pepper more. He was kind of obnoxious but he appreciated good music. The love of books just gets better and better. Rachael and I introduce each other to wonderful books. I'm not sure which I enjoy more, giving her a title that I loved as a child, or reading a new book that she has discovered and I've not yet read. "Mom, you HAVE to read this one, you'll love it". Good stuff. Of the many things I miss about “home”, our gorgeous library is near the top of the list.

My dad read that book to me all the time when I was little. Over and over and over. Sometimes he would read it in all opposites (probably to entertain himself) and call Mrs. Goodkind, Mrs. Badmean. Ooooooh, that would make me mad. We laugh so much about that book now and have hunted all over my parents' house for that book and can't seem to find it. PICKLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember the old lady who wandered around the stacks for hours? Cats are ok, but it's Pepper I remember most. :) Praying for you today. HUGS. Didn’t we grow up with the best library EVER?

Especially Patty and Stumpy! We have had three cats since we've been married, Luke, before we had kids, Jonah and Simba, both cats of Avery's! Living in the country as we do, it seems we just get good and attatched to them, have a hefty vet bill to vaccinate them, and then they get run over! Avery has been after us to let him bring home a little kitten from PapPap's (Doug's dad), and while mommy is a softy, daddy has stood firm this time! Loved the story! Brings back lots of memories!
