About meReading always has been nearly as dear as breathing to me. I lean toward non-fiction and especially studies of the past, but also enjoy historical novels .... particularly those written prior to 1970 or so. Recently, I have tried to embrace contemporary fiction, but have failed in that overture dreadfully. We are not a love match!
About my libraryMy library has grown with me, moved with me and has begun to reach toward the next generation of partakers.

by: William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)
I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay;
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Both my grandmothers have been gone for awhile now, but both lived into their 90's and were lively, vital, and funny right up to the end. I miss them. You have given me a deeper understanding of why I do what I do. Thanks!!
