Take a trip around the world with a book

I know this sounds awful but I truly hate traveling. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy visiting different people and seeing new things but the getting there part is just terrible. Maybe I should try a 1st class flight or a luxurious cruise. Well. that's not quite in the budget this year but it sounds GREAT otherwise.

Since my daughter has been born, we have greatly limited our travel to where ever can be reached by car. When she gets older, I'm sure this will change. I have tried to introduce my housebound offspring to many places though books. It is not the same as being there, but when you can't your imagination will always take you to your destination.

As a side note, the wonderful thing about children is they embrace ever new adventure. No matter the distance, it is all the same to them. A lot of fun!
Barefoot books has a great collection of children's fun and adventure titles. I have included a few of my favorites.

Fundraiser Update- 3 Day Walk for the Cure

We are 4 days into our Walk for the Cure fundraiser and the respose has been a little slow. However, I would like to thank those that have lent a hand to our efforts. I encourage each of you if you can not donate, please support the cause in any way you can. One way is by getting an examination yourself. Another is by offer words of support or just volunteering at your local 3 Day Walk event.

Every little bit helps!

Thanks!
