This is a nice blog with tagline: Where Grandmas Bond, Brag and Benefit. Don’t you just love that? Here, Pam Allyn, share her love of books with her granddaughter — a love that helps create sense of empathy, create a sense of community and indulge a child’s imagination. Thanks for the great post!
Even though I don’t have a cat now, I grew up with Siamese cats so I thought I would round out my Foods that Kills Dogs with a cat version. I noticed that the foods are basically the same for dogs and cats but I found a chart of plants that are bad for cats (and probably dogs too).
This was our second Family Reunion Vacation trip and it was based on my family’s two previous pleasant summer seaside vacation and I have to say that results were so good that I absolutely recommend The Colony Hotel in Kennebunkport, Maine if you are looking for a New England Beach family reunion destination.

This novel is a thing of beauty; three parts: poetry, prose and letters to mami who remains in Puerto Rico. Short chapters, each a vignette or snippet of poetic prose or, actual poetry. Told from Maria’s perspective, we, the reader, watch Maria blossom in her barrio neighborhood of New York City to become a poet. I suspect this is Judith Ortiz Cofer’s own story as she, too, immigrated from San Juan and is now a creative writing professor.
