I realized I'd already pared down to the bare bones a while back. Still have over a thousand, but they're my true loves. ;-) xo<br /><br />Erin, NOT culling poetry....EVER. I told my younger daughter I was culling books and she had a big ole hissy fit. Tee-hee. When your kids are grown, they think they own you and all of your possessions, even ratty old used books. I love driftwood, but you sent me the best ever. I'm insanely in love with this book. It's AMAZING!!! Glad you had a safe trip. xoxoMarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-80013243327942280482011-09-03T06:56:32.088-05:002011-09-03T06:56:32.088-05:00i do believe, marion, you found my favorite poem i...i do believe, marion, you found my favorite poem in the book. well, one of my favorites.
