I had to share this fabulous picture and article by Cara Bertram.  Her full article is linked below. 

 It reminds me of the Book Fairs of today that travel to our schools to bring books to kids. I will always remember my mother telling me to list a few books I wanted. Well, of course I filled up the sheet. She would always buy me one or two of the books I selected. What I didn't know was that she would buy a couple of the other titles and hold them for my birthday or Christmas holiday. It was always a surprise and  my love of books has never wavered. 

How about you?

Meet My New Kitty, "Charles Dickens".

Charles Dickens

 

 

Charles Dickens is my new 6 month old kitten. He has has brought so much laughter and joy each day with his slick playful smart and curious adventures.  

He has had several names since I adopted him. Q-tip, because he is all black with a 1" white tipped tail. Then came Polaris-given due to the importance of finding your way in life.  Finally, he came to be known as Charles Dickens after one of my favorite authors. Plus, dickens can refer to an imp, which is perfect for Charles Dickens...my little imp. 

He is a big mush and loves to go for walks in his backpack.
