My hubby still talks about it, but I think it's one of those trips we'll have to do as a couple without the kiddies. Unless there's some kind of noise, electronics, flashing lights and chaos, they wouldn't be happy.

But once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed them! Anne of Green Gables and Nancy Drew, though? Those were my girls!! They still are! I alternated between hanging out at the farm and super-sleuthing it with Nancy. Sigh.

I loved Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, too! I could never figure out their mysteries either! Is it any wonder I write romantic suspense? LOL!!! You should check out your local thrift store, too! I found three Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books there! You should've seen me dancing in the back of the store, clutching the books to my chest--sneezing and laughing. Laughing because I was overjoyed and sneezing because of the dust in the thrift store. LOL!!

And I will save us both the embarrassment of telling you how I personally know how to eat fried worms. Stupid bet, know-it-all-kids and a great book is a dangerous mix. LOLOL!!

Those were my very favorite books when I was younger and I think I wore them out checking them out of the library so often. I wish I had the entire series, actually. I wouldn't read them, most likely, but they hold such a sense of nostalgia for me. Maybe I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a few copies anyway. :-)<br /><br />Thank you so much for the post and giveaway!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576538055962817926.post-46548664131393720022015-06-20T09:37:11.561-04:002015-06-20T09:37:11.561-04:00My summer's were spent with Judy Blume (starti...My summer's were spent with Judy Blume (starting with Fudge, Margaret and then Katherine), The Hardy Boys and Encyclopedia Brown.
