Bookish Quotes and Images

August 24, 2017 By Cara Putman

The last week and a half have been exciting at our house. Our 13 year-old started full time at the high school. He’s my first full time, outside the home student. My 16 year-old and I have been finishing her college applications. Gulp! She’s taking the SAT Saturday and would appreciate any prayers for peace and wisdom. Then it’s school time with our youngest two, and I started teaching again this week at Purdue along with writing. It’s zany! Good thing I love our life. 🙂

Today I thought I’d do something a little different.

    Love all of these. So true!

    Hope your children have great school years!
    My grandchildren start back soon – a third grader in California next week and a fifth grader in Virginia after Labor Day. As a retired teacher, I am always interested in their education.

    Loved all of your quotes; would be hard pressed to choose a favorite. With your busy life and that of your family’s, I’m amazed you find time to write, but am sure you make/find the time however and whenever you can.

    Thank you! I did save the quote about children reading in the laps of their parents. I just vacationed with our daughter and grandson and I loved watching her read to him several times a day. I plan to share your beautiful quote with her.
