last week at the flea market I found a boxed set of my favorite book as a child: Misty of Chincoteague. Marguerite Henry wrote four stories about the wild pony — Stormy: Misty's Foal, Misty's Twilight and Sea Star — and reading the first page of Misty of Chincoteague took me instantly back to that beat-up, avocado green, upholstered chair in the attic of our house. I would have been nine. (My childhood reading was, to say the least, schizophrenic. That same year I read The Exorcist and The Godfather. Not because I was particularly interested but because they were laying around the house and I would read anything with pages.)so, I spent this Thanksgiving weekend hiding out and re-reading a childhood favorite: something I recommend highly. Want to shut out the world on a snowy day? Try Little Women, it still stands up.

Hi, I find it very refreshing to occasionally find a site such as yours with an unusual topic. It somehow ads to ones list of lifes experiences.
I have a soft spot for blogs related to marketing tools and /or sites that have a central theme around marketing tools type items.
Once again, thank you, hope you don't mind me visiting again sometime :-)
