Vee: > After they checked out their books, I checked out mine. On the way home I still thought of the little girl and her father. Our encounter wasn't an exciting one but it was definitely a nice one. -->> Awww, I liked this story, Vee. You have a lovely way of adding "details" that make your stories so vivid and real that we think "we" met up with that little girl and her dad! A real talent, Vee! We've talked of "life stories" before - of our own - of our ancestors. Imagine that little girl - one day in her future - looking back on her own life - and remembering her "trips to the library with her dad". My oh my - how nice that will be for her! (And for us now - "looking in on them") :) Thanks, Vee! Deb
