White Christmas was playing in the background as we worked together to scrub the kitchen. Bri was inspired to "dance to Christmas music," which she did -- the moment she had Free Time.
Bri brought out her collection of Nature Friend magazines. "Guess how long I've been getting Nature Friend?" I don't remember. Three years? "Two and a half. See? Here's my first issue, July 2006." She pointed out the difference between her old, scuffed magazine and her new, shiny magazine. She has cared for them well and amassed quite a collection.
As I think about moving, it strikes me that though I've made every effort to not be a packrat, to streamline our posessions, my book collection alone is ... it's huge. It just melts into the edges at this house, but in a smaller place, every cubic inch counts. The globe -- and the moon globe -- will probably seem hugely frivolous.
