MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS IN LIFE...



"My two favorite things in life are libraries and bicycles. They both move people forward without wasting anything.  The perfect day, riding a bike to the library."

~Peter Golkin~








The photo came from my archives. It was taken at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens (Virginia) way back when. I added the books for today's quote. My two favorite things in life (should say people) and goes without saying, are husband and son. But I have great memories from childhood of riding my bicycle up to the library and filling my basket to overflowing. I am still an avid book reader. I enjoy reading on my iPad, but there's nothing like the feel of turning the pages of an honest-to-goodness paper book, and I occasionally add a new one to my collection. We have built-in bookcases in our family room at home, also overflowing. Sitting in the corner reading one of those books is another favorite pastime. Gregg is also an avid reader, as is our son.
