Happy Birthday! Today would also have been my great grandmother's birthday --- she was a poet and wrote a novel but was a single mom as her husband died very young in a horse accident, so she never got the time until much later in life. At age 53! she decided to go to college with her youngest kid (my grandmother). The only place that would let her in along with grandma was Oberlin! So, my Ohio roots....

Happy Birthday and so glad I found you! I am reading "You Could Make this Place Beautiful" by Maggie Smith and loving it. ;-) . I am also reading "Postcard " by Anne Berest which is not a romp, but a quick read for such a long book. I am reading with the Brandenburg concertos by Bach playin in the background on my firs record player. Yes, my first LP player - I did grow up with vinyl; I'm 67 (so you are a teen to me!). Quite a long wait to have my own record player and not have to listen to what the boys want to play. Hope it's a grand year, Maggie and best of luck with the lovely children's book.
