I want to say big thank you to Debbie at Two Minutes of Grace, for sharing the ABC award with me. The time it has taken me to respond is no indication of how much I appreciate being thought of by Debbie.
The ABC instructions are:
Add the logo to your site.
Pass the ABC award on to other bloggers.
Use the alphabet to make a list of words describing you so readers will learn more about you.
I am pleased to pass the ABC award along to these wonderful bloggers:
“No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally, and often far more, worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.” ~ C.S. Lewis
Debbie, I borrowed your C.S. Lewis quote to introduce my ABC list, not of words, but of children’s books I love. Some are from my own childhood, some from my daughters, and some I have enjoyed reading to my grandchildren. I have used many of them in my therapy practice with people of all ages.
