Another Hike...

It has been a joy for me to spend time with this daughter of mine...


To see yourself in someone else...


And the pleasant surprises of a young woman doing very well...


How well? What to be proud of? Most everything! But her love for books and libraries stands out. When I asked what she would like to do, her reply was: "Visit the library in Paradise and Oroville. I like libraries." How many twenty year old females answer like that in this digitized and TVized modern life?

This daughter is witty and charming; has Liberal tendencies. She has many gifts. And I am honored to have her here...

Indeed.

Allan, thanks ever so for stopping by my blog, A Better Nation here at blogspot. I see we share many of the same favorites, books especially, and otherwise.

And by chance, I was recently halfway up Mount Lassen (and all through the Feather River Valley), after a family wedding in San Francisco in October (then down to Big Sur to get my fix there as well).

It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Lawrence at A Better Nation.
