Boy! Am I In Trouble!
Moving is really an experience. I find that I am opening boxes that haven't been touched in probably 20 years. Maybe even longer! We came across at least 4 boxes of children's books as we tackle every single box there is to mankind. Hubby and I sorted through the boxes and saved at least 150 books for our grandson and future grandchildren to come. But just when we thought we had investigated every book box...another one appeared.
I decided to show these to my daughter, thinking perhaps she would like to take some home with her. She grabbed Willie's Adventures, opened the book, and the next thing I heard was "O oh!".
"What?", I said. She opened it up and I saw that this book belonged to my elementary school library. "How did they let me graduate?" I wondered. Laughing, I took the book from her hand.
The book brought back no particular memory of reading this book, but I imagined that I checked this book out when I was in the fourth grade. That would put the year at 1964, give or take a year.
Here is proof that I signed the book out. My 4th grade signature and room number. What do you think the fine is for a book that is 44 years over due?

Was it a good read?
Mama, I went to catholic school for 3 years. If I didn't write the way the nuns liked, I would get a ruler slapped across my knuckles. I'm sure I will have arthritis.
Grama J, yes, I thought about mailing it back to the school. Wouldn't that make for another funny blog topic?
