I enjoyed seeing your books! I remember the bird bird from my younger days! Make Way for Ducklings was one of my faves as a child. The author at least summered in Maine--look for "Blueberries for Sal." I remember riding on the swan boats in Boston as a child with my brother, mother, and grandmother and feeding the ducks! I loved the story! Have not done any thrifting lately. Seasonal affective disorder kicked my butt this year on top of Covid fatigue! Have daffodils in bloom here--finally! Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, I just love kids books from my past. I remember 'Blueberries for Sal'. I probably should cut back on my thrifting, I really don't need anything, LOL but I love the treasure hunt. Sorry to here about you being sick, I am so grateful with my health the past couple years, ( working in the schools and all). We've had some awesome temperatures snow is finally melting and the bulbs are peeking out of the ground no blooms yet. Happy Spring to you also.
