A forgotten pleasure ~

In the midst of

having a family,

raising babies,

teaching myself how to sew

and create anything new I can get my hands on,

cooking meals,

making sure everyone has clean clothes

and trying to keep a clean home for us all....

I have denied myself a great pleasure in this life ~

READING!

Now, I'm not talking about decorating books,
art books and magazines....
I mean books with no pictures :)

I have this little hang-up that I want to see the results of my time spent.

When reading a wonderful book,

I've always felt a little guilty when finished.

What do I have to show for it?

As I've gotten older, I'm slowly realizing what I'm missing!!!

My husband went to the library the other day

and brought home a book to read

A Home-Concealed Woman,

The Diaries of

Magnolia Wynn LeGuin

He's actually checked it out before too.

The reason being, is that the book is a personal diary of a woman

from 1901-1913 and

her home was only about a half a mile from where

we used to live a few years ago!

I'm fascinated by her lifestyle, writings and family ~

so if you've not already guessed, I picked the book up and

am enjoying it so much!!

I even found the book on Amazon!

It's expensive but I'm sure you could find it in your library as well.

So now, I'm half-way finished with it...

and yes, the hubs was going to read it himself

and I snagged it away from him ~

Maybe he can check it out again? :)

Do you love to read?

Also, do you wait until everything else is done for the day,

then read?

I hope you have a great Thursday dear friends!

hugs and love,

Dawn
