I am keen to hear from you some more.

We had a Jet black cat who died at 17 years of age. She was a she but I always referred to her as a HIM

Man could she put our over sized Boxer into the Corner whimpering.
Son five smuggled a alley cat home inside his shirt. Look Mum, he followed me all the way home.

Our Cat Midnight literally went bananas.

I was in hot water this morning Val, found out that I was promoting and Australian cook book and did not promote the High Caliber New Zealand Cooking edited by Tui Flower.

This after I was soundly trounced by New Zealand inventing the Pavlova by about 4 years.

On top of that there is a recipe of a Christmas cake with an iced cake .Inventive these New Zealanders

I used to feel really rich when I walked home from the library bearing five thick books. You are a wealthy man, MrMarmalade!

I love books, but sadly, reading seems to be on the decline ...

Ink,

I would have to believe if reading is a passion, it is a real burden to find the ability to rad is lost.

I have a close friend who had a very severe tractor accident. Has fully recovered except he is no longer able to read. so literally where he may have read for 2/3 hours a day he now can read for 10 mins. He misses it dearly.

Thank you for your comment

I can't do without reading...Its an addiction...If I don't have the time to actually read I listen to Audiobooks while I work. Has your friend checked into this awesome way of reading? I has been my sanity savior for years now...Libraries carry some...but there are also many clubs now from where you can rent them...also some clubs actually download on-line.

great HUB

regards Zsuzsy
