This hooked me up with the organization Books for Africa. So now, when I get my author copies, I send them on to her to share with her people as well as sending contributions so that they can buy even more books!

When I was teaching, I borrowed moon rocks from NASA and put together a program to teach the children about the history of manned spaceflight and, of course, to find out about going to the moon. Naturally, everything got tried out on the girls first [including moon shoes].<br />And just to keep it interesting, aerospace education was responsible for John and me meeting each other in the first place . . . . <br />Joan Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06810313925049108163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-59635930323455355122017-12-20T16:47:30.649-05:002017-12-20T16:47:30.649-05:00HANK here: oxxooo Love you!HANK here: oxxooo Love you!Jungle Red Writershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646429819267618412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-41581629057559357002017-12-20T16:47:29.063-05:002017-12-20T16:47:29.063-05:00Only four, and just the one sister!

You ...Lucy, I had no idea about you and the chimps! You know I majored in biology, right? What started all that for me was reading books about animal behavior when I was a teenager, including Gerald Durrell's fabulous books, now made into the TV series, The Durrells on Corfu. But I also read Konrad Lorenz and Louis Leakey and everything I could get my hands on about by and about Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey. I was convinced my destiny was to go to Africa and study primates. I admire Goodall tremendously and am so envious of Karen's friends at the party!!!! I didn't know about the movie bio so am looking up asap.<br /><br />Lots of themes in my life! There is, of course, the English theme. I live with English things everywhere, from teas to books to my collection of London Transport Posters. There is a bird theme, especially hummingbirds. And a German shepherd theme! I would never have guessed, when our cocker spaniel died nearly twenty years ago, that I would be spending the next few decades of my life with a house full of German shepherds and German shepherd stuff... Not that I'm complaining, mind you.<br /><br />Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-40628715524638587242017-12-20T13:02:14.624-05:002017-12-20T13:02:14.624-05:00Lucy, I just ordered this for my mom-in-law for Ch...Lucy, I just ordered this for my mom-in-law for Christmas.

And, it's one of those books that you can't say much about when recommending it because you don't want to spoil it. Simply, "you have to read this book," or "please read this book" will have to do. I'm always delighted to hear that someone else has loved it.<br /><br />Hmm, themes? Most themes are self-inflicted for me, such as goats and gnomes. Of course, books and book related materials are a consistent theme of my life.
