Horray!

The kids have really been enjoying JP reading poems to them (he has a book of "man poems" as I call them... battles, classics, on fatherhood, etc.). I'm glad we have some children's books from when I grew up (I did weed many of them out for content or age appropriateness), but good wholesome books are far and few, it seems. We have some favorites around here, and funny enough, they're all from 25 to 50 or more years ago! There's a set called the Children's Hour that was given to me, but no value was ever put on it except, "Keep these, you'll want these someday," but that was Mom's sentence for too much I didn't really want to keep. So, we got rid of the set of 16 volumes! Published in 1954 or so. Well, for about a year I've been really aching about it, regretting about it on the insides, since we saw the set (brand new, mind you) being sold on a really good Christian family resource website for $550! We looked on Ebay this week and found two sets being sold, we got one for $22! Wow! We should get them next week. One volume is "Poems", another "Science Fiction" and so on.
