Ordinary things that were still problems but dealt with in a sisterly, creative way. The penny game to encourage dusting carefully. That library book. Buying penny candy and sharing it in bed in the dark. Their affection for the librarian. The birth of their little brother. I loved the normal of it all. I still do.Joy Preblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532958575068320212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388578325782539013.post-38632003261979288762014-02-19T11:38:26.896-05:002014-02-19T11:38:26.896-05:00Oooh, Trixie Belden -- I wonder what happened to m...Oooh, Trixie Belden -- I wonder what happened to my copies?

She went through a long phase of what she called "back then" books--Caddie Woodlawn is another one on that list.
