She had a 3rd grader education only but was multilingual and a voracious reader! She traveled and kept detailed diaries of everything she saw until age 93 when she passed away. Her thirst for knowledge was amazing and she enduced in us 'armchair traveling' as you might translate it in English. The local library was a 'must stop' whenever we shopped at the market, even when she had only a few pences in her pocketbook left (each book was rented you might say, unlike in the US).<br />Recipe books are just as enticing I think...You might 'travel' from country to country too...<br />Hugs,Noelle the dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805639450753772211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806704092635392794.post-66364839366191491152013-06-25T08:57:08.200-07:002013-06-25T08:57:08.200-07:00I don't know how you do it, Noelle, I wish I c...I don't know how you do it, Noelle, I wish I could stick to all the reading I typically plan but never follow through. I have about five books on my summer reading list and have barely read a couple of pages for only two. Terrible. I think it's all those fresh market tours and recipes distracting me . ;) <br />Congrats to the winners.<br />xoxo'sAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
