the public schools were cancelled due to a dusting of snow and frigid temperatures. Same for tomorrow. While Mac got an extra day off, the rest of us did a little to get back into the swing of things. Then Abigail and I snuggled on the couch and read a few chapters of this:
Perfect! Don't you think?
Yesterday I spoke to my sister about this book. She hasn't read *any* of this series so the princess is going to lend the books to her.
ReplyDeleteYour book looks quite old and well loved. The best. :o)
...and yes, perfect book for your day(s).
So glad you enjoyed your afernoon of reading.
ReplyDeleteI love the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. I own the entire series.
It sounds like a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteMy kids head back on Monday....
YAY!!! I just love Laura Ingalls Wilder books--What a perfect day to read it too.
ReplyDeleteJulieann
Absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteWe are supposed to be getting a couple days of heavy rain here, which could spell impending disaster for alot of the burn areas here in southern California...
Wish that we could just get some snow *smile*
The one book I faithfully read every single winter. Its one of my all time favorites.
ReplyDeleteOh! One of my most favorite books.... then again, I'm a huge Laura Ingalls Wilder fan :o)
ReplyDeleteHow perfect for your Snow day!
YES...perfect for a snowy day!! :)
ReplyDeleteooooo,oooooo, love that book!!! I envy the snow!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, your new header is so lovely. Really!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, that Long Winter really is the longest of the Laura Ingalls books. When I used to read that in 3rd grade class I'd think, "Get on with it". I needed some excitement.
Enjoy!!
And thank you for your very sweet comment.
Keep warm.
I love the Little House books! I actually have first editions of the whole series illustrated by Garth Williams. They are pretty bedraggled though... I used to read and read them as a child.
ReplyDeleteI think The Long Winter is my favorite one.
oh oh oh my favourite books!
ReplyDeleteOf course! I love that book the most out of the series, even though it is frightening at times, and rather dark. The lessons abound!
ReplyDeleteI love to think of you and Abigail snuggling together while reading this... :)
Your book looks alot like our book. We have the boxed series and they are VERY well loved. What a great thing to do on a snowy day.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to hear you read to our children Babe. You are a great mother and a wonderful wife.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Verne
Drew just started this series and is really enjoying them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note: Did you notice the picutes are by Garth Williams? Patrick's dad dated his daughter once upon a time - it really is small world:)
What a wonderful way to spend a winter's afternoon, Tracy!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Little House series.
Hugs,
Kelli
...yes...a excellant choice I would say...
ReplyDeleteDeby
I LOVE those books. I got some off of Bookmooch. com that look like your book-old and worn. I love that they look like the ones I read as a child.
ReplyDeleteLaura Grace loves the series now and I am sure will love them even more when she can really understand them.
