Dh took me along a business trip this week, and as we were walking along in a pedestrian mall I spotted a used book store. Of course I wanted to go in (and he did too for that matter!) When I got around to the children’s section I started scanning for old books. There on the very top shelf was a complete set of My Book House from 1947. He pulled a couple of volumes down & we stood there and oohed and ahhed over them. Dh kept talking about the illustrations in them. After a few minutes he said “it would be crazy not to take these home with us!” So my sweet dh boutght that set (plus an old copy of Wild Animals I Have Known) for me.
I have already enjoyed reading to the kids today – my 17yo dd even read an old english poem by Chaucer out loud for us. 🙂
What an awesome find! I am blessed to have a set from my mom when she was a child. I did not realize the treasure I had until I decided to homeschool.
Awww, we are so blessed to have sweet husbands who “get it,” aren’t we? Seems like so many moms tend to go this road alone, so I think it’s important when our husbands are right there with us, understanding that our bibliophilic (I think I just made up a word!) tendencies are for a good purpose and actually take part in them LOL.
Give him an extra smooch and remind him that he’s wonderful (which I’m sure you’ve done
) And extra kudos for including you in a trip!!LillyLou
(okay, so that maybe was a litte gushy, but my own Darling just started a new job this week that’s taking him away for many hours each day, which I haven’t been used to in a while, so this story got me…thanks for sharing **sniff**)
