Oh, how I have enjoyed the afternoons

Sitting by my mother’s side,

List’ning to her tell the tales

Of beauty, bravery, and the like.

-

Her children rise up and bless her;

Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:

“Many daughters have done nobly,

But you excel them all.

- Proverbs 31:28-29 -

    Oh, how I have enjoyed reading those tales of beauty, bravery and the like with you and your sister sitting by my side.
    It is a treasure that I will always hold dear. Hopefully, we will have many more tales to share together.
    I love You!

    What a neat looking book! Is that the Princess Adelina book that you mentioned before? It looks like a lovely story.

    Thank you for answering my questions about the 365. I want to improve my photography skills with my new camera, and I think taking more pictures would be a good way to start!

    Have a very bright, very cheerful day!

    The photo is of an illustration from Little Wide-Awake for the year 1876 (being the one hundredth anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, with nearly four hundred illustrations).

    Thank you for the nice comment,
    Yes, mice are very delightful company with their little squeaks and snuffles they do make wonderful picture models don’t you think?

    Dear Emily Rose,
    A friend recommended me your blog and I have enjoyed reading your posts! I have commented before, but forgive me for not introducing myself sooner. My name is Annie and I live in Iowa. I will be 14 in about a week and lately I have been interested in things like scrapbooking, quilting, sewing, etc… You’ve inspired me to start my own blog, too! Thanks again.
    Blessings,
    Annie
