Stories about travel, life, writing and parenting my college-age children (who think they don't need any more parenting). Oh! And the occasional amazing photograph (I like to play pro photographer on vacations.)
Quote of the Week
“Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced—
I know that The Velveteen Rabbit is about being real. It is such a great book. I get chills just thinking about it and how I felt the first time I read it. Great quote. It's good to be real!
So much truth in this! You know, I've never read The Velveteen Rabbit. I actually didn't even realize until now that I have no idea what it is about. It's on OnDemand right now. I must resist the urge to cheat and watch it.
The Keats quote is lovely, but The Velveteen Rabbit, now *that* moves me! Seriously, I bawl even if I just think about the story. I never could read it to the kids because I'd be a blubbering mess. LOL!

Hi there - I'm following you back. Love your blog girl. I'm also a parent of teens and it has yet to be effortless.

That is definitely a great quote. Funny that I stop by today... we seem to keep catching each others' quotes. Have a great week!
Ivy--your son is at the perfect age for you to read him this story! C'mon, you've gotta do it! ;o)
