The Long and Short of It

This must be my week.  Well truth be told every week is my week.  Every single week, every month, every day is wonderful and beautiful, and sweet (even in this heat).  But what I am talking about is I got ANOTHER something in the mail.  It came to both me and MOM.  


It's a book.  And a great book at that.  It was co-written by my friend Miss Lydia from See Beautiful.  I asked MOM if she would read it to me right away.  So she set aside the stuff she was doing and she read me the story of Isabel and Emma.


This is a wonderful story about friendship, courage, generosity, fear, and oh so much more and the pictures are great.  


I love this story.  Even though there is some sad stuff it is so beautiful.  Emma and Isabel are beautiful.  When MOM finished reading me the story I asked if I could read it to her.


I put on MOM's glasses so I would look all scholarly .  Then I had a great idea.  I wanted to share it with my friends.  


So I called them all together: Sneaky Snake, Rex the Dragon, Mr. Giggles, Bret Michael's Want-To-BE- Squirrel, Betty the Badger, and Mr. Coo Coo the Chicken.  They were all ready to listen to me read The Long and Short of It.


They were all captivated, hanging on every word.  


Just like me and MOM they all loved the story.  Then I had an even better idea.  I am taking my new book to the little peeps at church and I am going to read it to them.  I know they will love it too.  


If you have any little peeps in your life I highly recommend you get this book and read it to them, or they can read it to you or even better you can read it together.  I'm going to read it again tonight to MOM before I go to bed.  Thanks Miss Lydia for the book.  It is simply.... well it's simply beautiful.
Blessings,
Goose

    My Vickie thinks we should take this story to the pediatrics area in the hospital....

  2. Looks like a great book. We don't have any little ones in our house anymore. The 'rents say they are "empty nesters". We don't have any nests, so we don't know what that means! Hope you have a great Tuesday. XOXO

  7. Goose, my darling. You look so happy in these photos, it's infectious. I have a big smile after reading your post. I think I am going to get that book for my niece and nephew. Have I told you that I think your little friends have the coolest names? And your eye seems to be less droopy. The meds must be working.

    I'll be back,

  13. It is absolutely my honor to know you're sharing it with other children, Goose. I must say, I've heard of wonderful, creative readers of books, but your share with your friends was simply and awesomely spectacular. We're going to share your blog post with the American Cancer Society because we know they'll see beautiful from your reading the book. Thank you so much for your kind words. It was so special to get to tell Emma and Isabel's story.

    Happy seeing beautiful!

  21. Hey Goose, What a wonderful friend you have with Miss Lydia. This book looks so interesting, I'm going to her blog to see if I can read about it. You looked so collegiate with your moms glasses on. Your pack of stuffies looks in better shape than Hunters-he likes to chew off any plastic noses or eyes...so now I'm just getting him the kind with sewn on eyes/nose. Thanks for sharing this book.
    Happy Tails to you. Hugs to your mom

  29. Sounds like a great book for the kiddos. Seeing that photo reminds us of how many kids need our hair donations as well for Locks of Love. Mom grows out her hair and donates it every 2 years.
