Thanks, i will keep a look out for it. she is napping right now. bradley is going to make her a teddy bear for her birthday. i really should finish her blanket. i could if i could work on it for the next couple of days. We shall see.

I was just wondering the other day whether Beverly Cleary is still alive. I'm glad to hear she is -- ninety, wow!
She's such a good writer! I'm glad I kept so many of my old books for my kids to read. I think I have all of the Ramonas.
