10 on 10--Little Golden Books

-
For today's Ten on Ten,
I thought I would feature some
of the most beloved children's
books of all times.
Little Golden Books

These are some of the Little Golden Books my children had
when they were young.

We often read this one at bedtime.


This one is backless because it was so well loved.

We must have really loved this one because
we still have not one, but two copies.

This is a favorite of many, many children.

I don't think Jeremy was too fond of this one,
but Kelly loved it.

A Christmas classic.

Excuse the blurriness of this photo. Our books
ranged in price from 39 cents to 89 cents.

This one was really special because
it helped teach my children
how to be true friends.
If you would like to know more about the history of
Little Golden Books,
Leonard Marcus, an excellent children's literature historian,
has written a delightful book called Golden Legacy.

You've got a gold mine there--those books are not cheap anymore, are they? Jackson has been playing with his daddy's Fisher Price cars today, so it pays to save things....

When I saw the cover of the Magic Friend Maker, it brought back a memory. I'm sure I must have had that book and I remember loving the story. I know I loved the Pokey Little Puppy!

a little bit more. Many thanks!

New Walking Shoes

I have loved the Dansko shoes that I wear when it is cool. But I needed some comfortable walking shoes and amazingly Dansko now makes  "tennis shoes". They are so comfortable, although a little wild.  Probably should have gone with a more neutral pair, but these are fun. And to all the fashion police out there, no, one pant leg is not longer than the other.  It is just the angle of the camera. Sheesh!!!!!

Laundry Dilemma

OK, all of my friends in Blogland, I have a problem and those closest to me are getting tired of me showing them my laundry dilemma and of me trying to get them to help me figure it out so I am sharing my problem with you in hopes that some BRILLIANT person can help me. Several, and I mean several of my shirts are getting holes in them. I hope you can see from the pictures below--I have put a red cloth behind the holes in hopes that they would show up better. They start out with tiny little pinprick holes and then they "grow". They are always right about waist level. I have been working on this puzzle for a several weeks because I don't want to have to replace all my clothing every few weeks (although there is a Stein Mart in Colorado Springs.) See the solutions that have been ruled out. not one of my bracelets puncturing the cloth no, I'm not wearing a belt that is puncturing the cloth it does not seem to be something that I am leaning up against the seatbelt ...

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...
