Books

    A Book

There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
    ~Emily Dickinson


We like books around here.

You might even say we have a few.

A few in the library.


A few in Paulie and Philip's room.


A few in Elizabeth's room.


A few in our room.


We read them too.


Especially at night.

  4. I have more books than I know what to do with. I keep saying I'll go to a library but there is something about keeping the book forever that I just can't get over. I have some stored in my 1 BR apt and some stored in my sisters (because I ran out of space). I hope to one day have a library like yours with wall to wall literature.

    And of course - your kids = so cute!

  13. Oh, how we love books too....When we moved to our current home, I somehow (I'm ashamed to say it) misplaced (or I dare say) sold some of my books. We just had SO MANY. So, good excuse to order more!
