OH WOW what a wonderful idea.!!!!!!  I vote for Horton Hears a Who!!!!  There is so much to that story that most people don't know about.  That would be a wonderful second read.  It would be interesting to see who participates.  I VOTE YES.  And I vote for "Horton Hears a Who".

Thanks Kathy. I knew the photo was magic as soon as I saw it in the camera. The color took away the magic. So it HAD to be tin typed. The whole day was wonderful. The train ride was on an old 190* whatever coal engine train that ran up the mountain on switch back tracks to an old logging camp. We have so many wonderful memories of this time with the boys and will cherish them.

What a great adventure you have with the kids.  I'm sure they'll remember those times too!  Yes, it was the sepia color that took me back in time, as well as what the boys were wearing...  Great picture!

~ Oscar Wilde

His parents were successful Dublin intellectuals, and from an early age he was tutored at home, where he showed his intelligence, becoming fluent in French and German. He attended boarding school for six years, then matriculated to university at seventeen years of age. Reading Greats, Wilde proved himself to be an outstanding classicist, first at Trinity College, Dublin, then at Magdalen College, Oxford.

Good morning all, Holly I'm glad that you finally have a date set, now it's just the waiting

But I know all will be well

Here's our Saturday thought

“Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet
and the winds long to play with your hair.”

~ Khalil Gibran
(1883-1931)

*Gubran Khalil Gubran

Born: January 6, 1883 Bsharri, Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Syria
Died: April 10, 1931 (aged 48) New York City, United States

A Lebanese American artist, poet, and writer. Born in the town of Bsharri in modern-day Lebanon (then part of the Ottoman Mount Lebanon mutasarrifate), as a young man he emigrated with his family to the United States where he studied art and began his literary career. He is chiefly known for his 1923 book The Prophet, a series of philosophical essays written in English prose. An early example of Inspirational fiction, the book sold well despite a cool critical reception, and became extremely popular in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is considered to be the third most widely read poet in history, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu.

Today's thought is by one of my all time favorite historical women

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer.
Always remember, you have within you the strength,
the patience, and the passion
to reach for the stars to change the world.”

~ Harriet Tubman
(1820-1913)

Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Harriet Ross; 1820 – March 10, 1913) was an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and Union spy during the American Civil War. After escaping from slavery, into which she was born, she made thirteen missions to rescue more than 70 slaves[1] using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.
