A Piece of My Childhood

Guess what came to my doorstep today? The 24 volumes of Disney's Wonderful World of Knowledge (copyright 1973)! When I was trying to update my profile for this blog, I remembered that one of my favorite books is volume #14 of this series. As I flipped through the fairytales now, I can remember myself as a little girl reading the book over and over again. I fantasized about being Cinderella, Rapunzel, Princess Briar Rose, the Little Mermaid, the girl with the red shoes, etc. I lost this book at least 20 years ago. You see, in our house everything disappears ;). Our family is just not very particular when it comes to neatness and orderliness. At least that's the excuse I say to myself whenever I come home to my place that always looks like a tornado has just passed by hehe. If ever you have wondered why I have not invited you to visit, that is the reason :). But anyways, thank goodness for eBay, I now have my favorite book again. I just need to get a bookcase for the collection so it will have a proper place in my house. I am saving it for my future daughter(s). But don't you fret my feminist friends. I will not let them grow up to be damsels in distress. They will also hear the politically correct bedtime stories where women are so capable and there's no "living happily ever after" myth with Prince Charming. :)

hello my favorite cousin!

sorry that i'm just reading your comment now. i'm new to this blogging and i constantly have to tweak the settings. i have been wondering why nobody leaves a comment.

sorry that i can't help you with a job right now. but do know that you are in my prayers. i won't give you the lecture now about the importance of returning to church. but i know in your heart, you will find the way back.

take care,
cousin mhy
