A room without books is like a body without a soul. ~ G. K. Chesterton
(here via A Cognizant Discourse)
What a wonderful quote! :-) Kitchens need cook books, and living rooms need lots of books, and bedside tables should be laden with books!
I am thankful for...
...for dial-up internet at our house. No more need for wi-fi coffee shops, although I have enjoyed them (most of them, anyway.)
...my cat, even though she is dashing madly through the kitchen behind me, causing me fear for my feet. She likes to attack feet.
...And the lone firefly (the last one of summer?) that I saw as I was finishing a walk before dinner tonight.

So glad you're back!
