LITTLE LENDING LIBRARY AND TAKING THE REST OF THE WEEK OFF

 Our son and daughter-in-law came to my rescue today for an easy, fast but very cute post.  This photo is theirs.  They were adding books to the Little Lending Library on their walk, and the sweetie at the bottom of the photo popped through the bushes, to wag his tail and say hello.  Sweetie’s human also said hello nearby.  Their garden is right next to the walking path, and he came over to retrieve his darling pup.  He is the person who built the library and supplied it with books.  His little dog is called Cowboy.  Applauding them both for their community spirit and kindness, which includes our son and daughter-in-law for the same, plus a big thank for letting me share their photo today.


I am still not quite there for putting a longer post together, or visiting you all.  Soon I hope!  Thank you from both of us for your well-wishes here, texting and emails.  I will answer soon.  Plodding along we are and heading in the right direction, but still feel the need to take the rest of the week off.

  1. Putting out books for others to take, read and pass on is a good idea. Second hand books are sometimes left in redundant telephone boxes here in the UK for folk to take and read. The puppy is a sweetie. I hope you both feel better soon.

  8. First of all, I love those free little libraries, and this one is so cute that the neighbor built. What a darling photo this is, and that little Cowboy really makes the picture. Don't worry about putting together a long post. Sometimes, short and sweet ones are the best. A little of this and a little of that makes a delightful post. And pictures like this one says it all. ; ) Feel better, Denise.

  20. Hello Denise! I do hope you and Gregg feel much better soon! Rest up and don't worry about long blog posts at all. This one is perfect. What a sweet little blue-eyed puppy. As for the little library, well, what can I say. Books are always a good idea. So lovely to have them shared in this way. Lots of love to you from Southern California.

  24. We have several of these Little Lending Libraries around Nashua and the Friends group of the library adds to them on a regular basis. Glad to read that you are both on the mend and rest is a good thing, so take all the time you need to energize and feel better as fellow bloggers will still be here.

Thank you so for taking the time to leave a comment. I enjoy reading them very much and always try to return a visit. As I do monitor comments it may take a while for them to appear, even quite late depending on what is going on and how much time I am able to spend on the computer.

I appreciate all who look at my blog, but I won't be publishing any businesses. If you are only able to publish anonymously, would you sign your name please, and leave an addy so I can return your visit where possible? Thank you!
