She said the birds make their nests with the yarn. I picture the funniest things, like robins in handknit sox and the mourning doves wearing soft, little beanies!

Mythology is one of my pet subjects, and I have all kinds of books about it, including a kids' guide to Greek Mythology (which is about her reading level, grade 5 or so).

Did you make up the card or get it somewhere? That is so up my ally. Kate DiCamillo is on my "I must read soon" list since we have really enjoyed Desperaux in movie format and have read online that the book is much better (which is never surprising to hear). My husband listened aloud to Edward Tulane a few years ago and loved it. My kids aren't old enough to enjoy her books but I can't wait until they are since they sound like they'd make excellent read-alouds!<br />The Nativity looks like such fun. Well, it looks a bit fiddly actually,but fun to HAVE when it's done!

I love the pictures that you post of your children growing up and the pic's from around the farm. I especially like reading the posts you write to the children on their birthdays. I also, love to knit and I have been spinning wool for a couple years now(not very often and I am not very good LOL!)

Though it's been so long since I've read Catcher in the Rye that the only thing bopping around in my brain about it is a hunter's hat(?) some kind of strange hat. That, and that I had a pristine, white, soft cover copy that I bought brand new, which would have (and still is) a rare treat. <br /><br />Thank you for the ball band details, off to google it!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-48920583986676958752013-05-29T10:04:52.882-04:002013-05-29T10:04:52.882-04:00I just saw that book on display at our little coun...I just saw that book on display at our little country library over the weekend and wished I had a young one to check it out for...I skimmed it and thought how clever the illustrations are.

There's a first :-) I have always thought of re-reading it form the perspective of a 41 year old as opposed to a 16 year old which is the age I was when I first read it. Let me know what you think although many of the details are faded by now in this mind of mine. Love the knitted nativity scene especially that camel!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855233176850502867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7825862861569609473.post-55484802880464527522013-05-29T08:27:06.347-04:002013-05-29T08:27:06.347-04:00I remember when my middlest read Kate DiCamillo. ...I remember when my middlest read Kate DiCamillo.
