I can think of nothing I like better than reading...except spending time with my family.<br /><br />And if there is a glass of champagne and a bowl of strawberries to indulge in while reading even better.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend, ElizabethElizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-71899478277399325702013-06-25T21:04:46.957-07:002013-06-25T21:04:46.957-07:00I love the power of books to transport us to anoth...I love the power of books to transport us to another place and time.
