My mom read to me!

You may have tangible wealth untold, 

Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.  

Richer than I you can never be- 

I had a mother who read to me.

-Strickland Gillilan

I love this quote.  I remember all four of us kids laying in our beds in the room we all shared listening to mom read.  She would sit in the doorway where she could have a little light from the hall.  She read us many good books from there.  She made up stories too.  I will always remember Felicia and Rosy, the two fairies she would tell us stories about.  What fun adventures we would have with them!  I don't tell stories as well as mom, but when I do they usually have a rescue hero or two in them.  My boys love to help save the day!  More often I just read a book. Right now we are reading the Magic School Bus chapter books.  I am thankful for the good memories I have of my mom reading to me.  Thanks mom, for reading to us.
