Something I want to share with you all.
This is my (foster) grandson getting his first look at what has become his favorite book. He loves it! Together with my daughter, he reads a few pages every day and his reading has turned into a geography and history lesson too. He wanted to know where Poland was - so my daughter opened the atlas to central Europe and he found it. Then he wanted to know all what the war was about. The answer to this is still ongoing and so far, he has started reading the handwritten notes that my father made, in war issue exercise books, as the South African troops moved through Italy and North Africa. The kid is fascinated by it all. Enthralled.
Thank you, Regdog, for going to the heart with such a beautiful story. My grandson will be writing a full 'book review' for you - though you may have to wait until he's read it again because he says that he doesn't want the story to end.
And you have our permission to use this photo if you want.

Don't you dare. I'll make it smaller if you can't.Oops. That turned out much bigger than I thought. Sorry. I'll delete it later.
Just let me know.
That is great, Gail. Heather will be so verklempt when she reads what you wrote, along with the awesome photo.
I got A Dog of War for Christmas and it's next on my list to read!

Thanks, Haggis. If you could make it that size, it would be great. I've been trying to figure out the new photobucket link and copy thing for ages - or I would have posted this sooner. Tonight, I decided to just keep clicking on stuff until something posted.
I am such a techno-dinosaur!
But isn't he just the cutest thing? He's 10 and in the 5th grade and as smart as a button. Funny, too. I couldn't be more proud of him if he had been born into our family.
Okay, I'm going to stop now. This doting granny thing can get too much.

Oh. And I hate the new Photobucket. Once you've changed the size and saved it you have to go back to the "library," re-access your pic and then copy it.
you are always 'hating', Haggis, that they let you live at birth should have endeared you to everyone for life.
You guys make my day, you know that.
and here is the sick pup, she has all four paws, she's just laying on two of em.

Yeah, she still looks a bit tired and sad, but she smiles more now and she has been wagging her tail.
She didn't really sleep much the last few days. She was so uncomfortable, so she slept a lot yesterday, and today.
