You all know the ice cream company? Very expensive ice cream, which I recently discovered in small tubs at my local supermarket. I'd heard about Salted Caramel ice cream, with some bloggers raving about it, so when I saw the Haagen-Dazs tubs on sale for only $5 I bought some. I loved it! Fabulous stuff. Just the right amount of salted caramel streams to counteract the sweet ice cream. I would have rated it five stars.

ReplyDeleteOh that is so me... I pick up a book and become a magnet for people and pooches alike, grrr!
ReplyDeleteDelores; I plan to get this printed in poster size and hang it above my chair.
ReplyDeletefishducky; I know, I can hear the silence from here.
Andrew; why do people assume that reading is only done because no one is talking to you? So they talk to make you feel better? My mum used to equate reading with doing nothing and would suggest I go outside and play.
Merle; that's it exactly, to them a book doesn't mean what it does to us.
Elephant's Child; and always when the story has just become really interesting.
Lee; Angel is learning too, but he needs to learn the computer also means reading and stay off the table.
Jaqueline, we all need do not disturb signs to paste across our foreheads when reading. Although that probably wouldn't work for pooches.
