I also remember spending a lot of time at the same library. It's hard to believe so much time has gone by. I want to make it up North one of these days so we can spend some time catching up. I'm so very proud of your achievements Ami! I remember you when you were that little. I also remember spending a lot of time at the same library. It’s hard to believe so much time has gone by.

Some say if a mother breaks the eggs while she’s aching, her labour won’t last as long.” (source and recipe: http://bit.ly/nkk0TT)  I love baking — and eating — and I’m all about easing pain and shortening my labor, so what have I got to lose?  Plus, I’m rather enamored with the idea of carrying on an ancient tradition since we are, in a way, having a bit of an old-fashioned birth.

I can still remember the feeling of bringing books back to the drop box and looking forward to replenishing my stack any room or building that houses books is a good place to me : ) Love and Light I grew up in small town British Columbia, up in the mountains
