Oh, my word!!! I LOVE it!!! I was going to suggest you turn it into a book using Snapfish or similar, until I saw the pic w/ me in it. haha! Still... if you could replace that pic, you should do it. What a great idea and rhyme.

ReplyDeleteRita-
ReplyDeleteI love reading your posts and this one was no exception! I forgot how much I miss reading your writing until your blog came along. Great pics too as always!
Wonderful! I love all the pictures matched with the perfect letter and rhyme. Such a delightful post. Seriously, I hope that someone in the children's publishing business sees it, recognizes your talent, and asks you to write a children's book. It would be amazing.
