@MrsGoresDiary My husband has always said this as well —about breaking news or the latest internet outrage. Smart men.

@SoulCultivated Ok, so, I wasn’t picking up on the travel theme so I suggest A Room with a View

@SoulCultivated Why do you suggest A Passage to India? It’s one of my favorite books. Haunting. And yet so few people I know appreciate it.

@garonnevik Yes! We had this when my kids were younger — it was a benefit to everyone! I was able to buy a friend a Bible & take her to coffee & my kids got to play

The best thing on social media this week is this guy’s delight at all the places where I was raised, have lived or have loved: GA, Lookout Mtn in TN, AL (esp Jordan-Hare stadium! WDE!) & now FL! I know once he sees the Gulf & steps on the sand he may never want to leave.

@SketchesbyBoze I was reading ‘Far from the Madding Crowd’ today. This is the humble library Gabriel Oak, an uneducated rural shepherd, had. How things have declined over a century and more.

@FreddyLA7 My home state! Welcome! Beautiful nature & the Mobile-Tensaw river delta has the most biodiversity anywhere in the US: “America’s Amazon”! Don’t listen to the haters. Most people in AL are kind!

@FreddyLA7 Lovely! Check out the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, GA, if you have time. Breathtaking landscape paintings and even a hall of our U.S. Presidents!

@Aella_Girl When I look at this argument I see MY children & what if one of them became severely disabled & needed round the clock care? I would do it. Just like my friend’s mom did when he was injured in a car accident. He was still her child. She gave up so much for the one. He was loved!

Long before children's books became multimedia franchises, Virginia Lee Burton (1909–1968) was creating stories that show with a deep appreciation for history and local community. Born in Newton Centre, Massachusetts, Burton studied art in California before returning east, where she became both an acclaimed author-illustrator and founder of the Folly Cove Designers, a celebrated textile arts collective. Her illustrations are instantly recognizable: bold compositions, meticulous detail, and remarkable depictions of machines, buildings, and even landscapes that look almost alive. Burton's books often explore the tension between progress and preservation and the role of individuals in preserving what's most important. Recommended titles: 📚 Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel 📚 The Little House 📚 Katy and the Big Snow 📚 Maybelle the Cable Car 📚 Life Story 📚 Choo Choo Few authors have captured the spirit of 20th-century America with such warmth and insight. Burton's books remain classics because they celebrate hard work, ingenuity, and the importance of place.
