While we were visiting the Dorseys, Jean took me to a new Savers. Since I'm pretty much addicted to thrift stores, I couldn't wait to go. This store was huge, and clean, and very well organized. I could have spent hours there. I was excited to find two games for the kids that I had been wanting to get them - Don't Break the Ice, and Chutes and Ladders. My favorite find of the day was a wooden folding puppet theatre for only $4. The next day the kids had a blast playing with all three.
John Greenleaf Whittier BLESSINGS on thee, little man, Barefoot boy, with cheek of tan!
With thy turned-up pantaloons,
And thy merry whistled tunes;
With thy red lip, redder still
Kissed by strawberries on the hill;
With the sunshine on thy face,
Through thy torn brim’s jaunty grace;
From my heart I give thee joy,—
I was once a barefoot boy!
Prince thou art,—the grown-up man
Only is republican.
Let the million-dollared ride!
Barefoot, trudging at his side,
Thou hast more than he can buy
In the reach of ear and eye,—
Outward sunshine, inward joy: Blessings on thee, barefoot boy!
