Mother Knows Best

My father gave this book to me over a year ago, and I tossed it into a pile of other books that are begging to be read... It donned on me that I should go ahead and crack it open a few days ago, and you will not believe what I found! In addition to a hilarious book filled with thirty year old antidotes for everything from bad behavior to poor table manners; I also found hand written notes scribbled by my mother, twenty some odd years ago.  Judging by the inscription on the books inner cover, my mother received this book as a birthday present from a friend of hers, signed Nancy... I am thrilled to announce that I know this Nancy friend quite well,and that she and my mother are still dear friends.  I love knowing that my mom read through these pages and chose different projects to make with my sister and I... I also love the "Record List" that I found tucked inside the books pages.  A record list? Hmmm... and the address that is marked at the bottom of the page,
Coeur D 'Alene Idaho, yep, that was us.I  feel like this was a little treasure hidden well, and now found! Kudos.
