And Old Friend

So Last night I went to Barnes and Noble to look up some activies for my kids to do today. It is goal week at our summer program. I decided to look at the Children's books for fun. I stumbled upon (and by stumbled upon I mean that I sought out) the Beverly Cleary section. Beverly Cleary and Ramona Quimby were the beginning of my love for books. I think that I read every book that Beverly Cleary ever wrote between the ages of 7 and 12 at least 2 times each.
Anyways, I picked up Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and started reading it. I was enjoying it so much that I bought it and took it home with me. I read the whole thing last night. It was so delightful! I found myself laughing all over again at Ramona's mishaps and even tearing up during the tender moments that Ramona shared with her family.
I guess you never grow out of an old friend.
