Well, that strikes a chord in me. <br /> So good to have stopped by. BTW I am part Scottish, on my father's side, though have never been to your fair country. It's on my short list of Must-See Destinations.

"Blethers" surely suits ...Dear Christine,<br />"Blethers" surely suits my fancy of a blog that branches my dendrites. Now I have two new poets to discover. <br /><br />Like you, I want my learning to be fun. And the strangest things can excite me and lead me down the yellow-brick road to adventure.<br /><br />I think all this started when Dad and Mom bought a set of World Book Encyclopedias in about 1946. Every evening Mom, Dad, my brother, or I would invariably ask a question about the news or politics or the sunset. <br /><br />Dad or Mom would say, "Go look it up." One article in the first volume would lead to another, to another, to another. By bedtime, we'd have dragged all the volumes into the living room. The last task of the evening was putting away the encyclopedias and kissing one another good-night. Learning had so much meaning.<br /><br />Good memories. Thank you.<br /><br />Peace.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-22442988535750407592012-01-07T16:11:12.856+00:002012-01-07T16:11:12.856+00:00Oh, all right then!Oh, all right then!Christine McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198224025775398453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-6563398401510549952012-01-07T14:29:14.058+00:002012-01-07T14:29:14.058+00:00Quite- as I say at the start of Para 4!Quite- as I say at the start of Para 4!Christine McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198224025775398453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-57718163623265318362012-01-07T13:34:46.837+00:002012-01-07T13:34:46.837+00:00"visceral" learning!"visceral" learning!Ewan McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12885676413351678827noreply@blogger.com
