A couple of pages from the Disney book…
I dropped K’s car off at the shop today and got a ride home in the “shuttle.” The other woman using this service was going to the mall and it is between the repair shop and our house. On the way, she received a call and said never mind, she needed to go back to the shop. I had to speak up and say hey, take us home before you turn around punk kid young guy driving the car! We didn’t really go out of our way because none of the streets in Atlanta are straight, but we went a slightly different way than I would have if we weren’t going by the mall first. This was a good thing! On the way home, just as we were about to turn into our neighborhood, we saw a doe and her fawn - with the white dots still! Everyone in the car said, “Awwwwwwwwwwww!!!!”
Tonight’s reading list:
This kind of made my morning!
I have to look up four of these books! You can guess which one we own… My grandmother’s name was Ola and I have never heard it anywhere else! I like Jan Brett’s artwork but have not seen her book about trolls.
Ola, by Ingri and Edgar Parin d’Aulaire;
teddy bears’ moving day, by Susanna Gretz;
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, by Laura Joffe Numeroff, illustrated Felicia Bond;
Trouble with Trolls, by Jan Brett;
The Very Quiet Cricket, Eric Carle.
Sometimes you just need some picture books and a nice cozy bed and a mug of tea that smells like Christmas.

That’s Disgusting!
My brother gave us this book five years ago and it is still a family favorite. There are thirty-five examples in this little book and I am ashamed to admit that we have experienced almost half of them. Over time we came up with our own examples and say them with the same cadence. You should see the face that accompanies the truly disgusting ones…
Fallie is currently working on a new version of this book, titled “Cat’s Disgusting!” It will be all about the gross things Gopher Guts does.
