So, you might want to try that in the meantime. I miss those days of reading to our sons - we read aloud to them until they were in their teens! So many great books, so many great memories :)Sue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-78338700977018283262015-09-29T13:38:31.249-04:002015-09-29T13:38:31.249-04:00Me, too, Jane!
