how well she knows me

She's a blogger friend I've never met in person,

but - OH! - how she knows me!

After reading of my pleasure in reading THESE two library books....

she kindly sent me Face Toward the Spring.
(How about that beautiful dust cover?!?)

I want to savor EVERY word of it!

I want to PRESERVE every word of it.  

Though written in the late 40's, it is as current as yesterday.

Surprisingly (to me at least), our yearnings and essential challenges
haven't changed all that much at all.

Thank you, Claudia!

 A recent (and rare - since I've called a sort of moratorium on thrift store shopping)
purchase at my favorite thrift store.
1/2 of $.25 made it impossible to pass up.
The color matches the house color on the dust cover of my book.
They're probably from the same era, too...
