"P" is for.....

This is a book that I finished reading aloud to my children! Yes, my children are not little babies, but they enjoyed listening to my different intonations throughout while reading about poor Pinocchio antics and choices!

Perhaps, my brother will recognize this book..

I love older books and this series of classic children stories has a copyright of 1947. I have the whole series, I believe. Now, Brother, to avoid a sibling fight in cyberspace...I don't remember when I was given these, but they are yours and has your name inscribed in all. If it's any consolation....your nephew is getting use of them :)

Now....to leave you with a "P" of a special kind! Yours truly..drinking out of a "P"ickle jar! (actually it was a relish jar) My daughter thought it would be neat if I posted this...so on her request...no makeup, no attempt at the hair...just me during one of those ultra hot days chillin' with some iced coffee (used Splenda) in a jar that I was saving for a future first attempt at glass painting...we'll see, so here is your "P"J!

(please don't click)  ok... yea, right! that's like putting a sign "Wet Paint"...of course your going to touch to see if it's really wet...com' on.... Just to note my daughter also thinks it's 'ghetto' to drink out of a relish jar...he-he) ..but when it's 90 inside...you drink out of anything you can find!!!!!!

I think the photo of you drinking out of the pickle jar is hilarious. Well... didn't you say something to me about PJ standing for .... maybe not :-)

I love old childrens books too. I get nostalgic about the artwork. Oh by the way I love those fruit photos. I bought cherries and blueberrys today. Yum!

Your so great to keep reading to your kids now that they are getting older. When I taught, many parents thought they didn't need to do this with once their kids could read,and the whole family would miss out on so much fun and sharing. I'll put up your recommendation on my blog too! I haven't read the story in years.

I grew up in the sticks outside Ft. Worth and everyone drank out of old jars. Now we call it recycling! I loved your pictures. Thanks for sharing.

My mom read aloud to me well into older childhood, it is some of my favorite memories.

I love your pickle jar photo. In North Dakota (my birth state), it's jelly jars, and they make perfectly acceptable wine glasses, in non-snooty circles.

I love your shot with the pickle jar! Great Ps and so nice to put a face to a friend.

I can't believe how behind I am, I should've seen you and the pickles days ago!
