And I'm better at observing human behavior through a book. I don't get overwhelmed as easily. Enjoy your latest read. Karen D.

I can't get any confirmation on what the heck it's all about, but the print seems to be from fairy tales from another country, akin to Grimm's works but clearly not. As the folks who built our home were directly from Poland, I believe it's Polish tales to teach children good manners and such. I wrote a post on it once and will pass that along to you sometime.Lisa at Grandma's Briefshttp://www.grandmasbriefs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917006732840712469.post-80190809351353936812015-01-08T10:23:12.381-06:002015-01-08T10:23:12.381-06:00This sounds terrific.
