Ah, but I thought I’d ask you just the same

You already know me---I'm in your book club. I've been in your book club
in Wisconsin, in New York, in Missouri, in Connecticut. Now I'm in your book club in Pennsylvania.
I love books! (I also collect buttons!) I'm looking forward to having conversations about books with
people just like you----who also love books and want to talk about them. Send
me an email: booksandbooks (at) comcast.net---tell me about a book you are reading. (or buttons of interest)
How much fun!!! I love reading this and looking at all the pictures, even the little music notes are cute. The two little people are really getting around town, and how nice they look in stunning red and top hat! Love following them on their adventure, even to the library for a good mystery. Happy New Year to them, and you, and all!
Thanks, Mary Jo. Now on to those resolutions!
Wishing you lots of happy moments in 2012.
My favorite post so far, I think! (Up there with the Snaps!)
I’m spending a quiet New Year’s, reading about these little persons’ exciting one….
