Every Once in a While a Throwback Comes Your Way & You Can Smell Old Books, a House in Hamilton, a Camp, and Childhood Treasures

I've written before about Miss Twiggly's Tree, but I know there were several other books in little cubby's of my grandmother's home and came (like Happiness is a Warm Puppy). When Jane Thayer's Gus Was a Friendly Ghost came across my feed I instantly remembered the purple cover and reading that over and over again on weekends and during the summer with family visits.

I'm also trying to remember a book about a country mouse and city mouse that she also had. I often think about that book whenever I'm in one location or another. Most times, when I'm in the city I want to be in the country, and when I'm in the country, I'm ready for more city life. 

This morning, I'm spending a few hours with undergraduate students at Franklin Elementary, before coming back to campus to work with students from Claytor in Dr. Shannon Kelly's Shakespeare class. I love when I get the invitation, and am even happier when a victim is sent my way (cough cough, Dr. William Johnson)(Dean of Students)(Shhhh. He doesn't know what he's in for). 

Temperatures have definitely dropped and this morning we have rain, which will make the undergraduates miserable as we trek to the school. It's all good. We're big people and we have to adjust.

I have a dental appointment in the afternoon, and that is always a joyous occasion, too...NOT. My wallet hates my mouth. 

Anyway, the link above goes to the reading of Gus. Not sure how many remember this, but it did put a smile on my face.

Now, to deal with traffic.
