People used to ask my mother Why she let me read all those comic books? She replied, " I don't care WHAT he reads as long as he is reading!" Well she didn't have to worry about all the garbage there is out there now. I read all the series mentioned in the above answers including the Nancy Drew ones who I never let on to my friends that I was reading . Guess I was practicing my mysoginistic (SP) leanings early on, but which I cast aside when I fell in love for the first time.<br /><br />I was also into all the SCI-FI gurus to! As well as Zane Gray and Louis Lemour (sp) etc. My Grandmother had a set of the Encyclopedia Brittanica with updates now and then, and I read every single one of them cover to cover and I am amazed at how well I do nightly watching Jeopardy! A lot of the minutae seems to have stuck in there somewhere!<br /><br />I even learned to eat breakfast left handed because of where my breakfast seat at the counter was . The other one held the all important book/comic book etc. TO THIS DAY i have a pile of unread books on the floor beside my recliner. Still reading at least one a week, usually more, while the TV mumbles on unattuned to my ear!<br /><br />Thanks for bringing back so many good memories. I find myself more and more immersed in a nostalgic aura as I get older and remember all the good things that happened in my life! Thanks again, Everett<br />ELittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614884616908281632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-66111523848654826072016-06-06T11:45:03.593-04:002016-06-06T11:45:03.593-04:00Elizabeth L.

Thanks for the memories...Elizabeth L. Johnson said,<br />Thanks for the memories, yes, diddo, diddo, and diddo all the above comments. But, just like you, Herrick, I, too, said just two days ago, "It's okay for me to be exhausted by my work here on our mountain, in the orchard. I'm glad I'm exhausted. I love this work. I like the benefits. Thank you Lord, for work!"Elizabeth L.

I enjoyed it very much. I had ...That was wonderful! I enjoyed it very much. I had a memory a lot like that. My memory is of a metal glider, back in the early 1960's. I use to sit in it and glide back and forth forever. No, I didn't read, or do anything, but enjoy the gliding back and forth, and I remember well how comforting it was to me back then. Before that, it was a hammock, that we had at a small beach cabin when I was only about 4-5, and I would rock in that forever too. It's funny, I haven't done that since then, and seem to miss it lately. I think it's time for me to find a glider to glide in, or a hammock to rock in. Maybe both! Oh, and I have that book your reading, it's a good one. Bless you for the memories, Sheila Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02961473328485063074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-56229325168680701782016-06-05T21:56:31.655-04:002016-06-05T21:56:31.655-04:00I remember those summer days in suburbia too. I re...I remember those summer days in suburbia too. I read Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden. I also read the Hardy Boys and a lot of Readers Digest Condensed Books. <br />I particularly remember how it felt to sleep well for 8 or 9 hours and wake refreshed and energetic.<br />Youth is wasted on the young, my Grandmother used to say. I think I get what she meant now.<br />Cheers,<br />PamAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14210768437726876770noreply@blogger.com
