Nothing is more relaxing than sitting down
to read a good book!

Books are fun to read. 
Some are educational and others
can be like watching a movie in our heads!

So why not go out and get a
good book today and start

You know you've read a good book
when you turn the last page
and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.

There is always lot's of reading going on at our house. M.O.M.& M.O.D. both read every evening and they read about building garden sheds, greenhouses and stuff like that. They thnk it is a lot of fun and a great way to spend quiet evenings together.

P.S. Rem....the most impotant reading Maggie and I do is reading as many bulletins boards as possible at the parks we go to. We don't even need a library card to do it!!

Ginny Hartzler said...

I have had that feeling of sorrow many times when a wonderful book has come to an end, like my good friends have moved away.

Suka said...

hey Remington,

We are a house of readers too! Looks like you are reading a classic. I must get my paws on that book!

brooke said...

I hate getting to the end of a good book. Makes it hard to move onto the next one.
Im currently in that situation. Has Beth read Moloka'i? It's a GREAT book!

Rem...oh my cats you should have warned us that two most handsome man dogs were about to appear at the same time. My little lady cat heart went pitter patter.
We are sorry to be late but since Mom retired she dedicates Weds. to taking her parents on errands...she just got home.

White Dog Blog said...

One of our favorite times everyday is when momma takes an afternoon break and we all cuddle as she reads! Sometimes she reads out loud to us until we doze off. Did you know that you can donate your used books to BetterWorldBooks.com and they will pay to ship them to them AND donate profits to literacy programs...just something to remember at Spring Cleaning.
