At a Young and Tender Age


I came upstairs after John had tucked the girls into bed to see a suspicious glow seeping through the crack in the bedroom door. There Millie sat, oblivious to me and all else, reading Scrooge and Disney comic books in her top bunk while her sisters dozed below. This clandestine affair, of course, was conducted with Papa's full sanction and great delight. She's a girl in whom his blood flows swiftly.

Hello there! I just discovered your blog and I really like it! My name is Abigail too, but I live in France and I'm only two years old. My mama has created a chapter on 'Abigail blogs around the world' so I hope you don't mind that she has hyperlinked you - I have a sneaking suspicion she likes your style!
I'll be back soon!

Bonjour, Little Abigail!

Come again, anytime (and you can bring your mama, too!).

This picture is beautiful. Because it is, and because of what it is.

Reading comics in bed! And it's Scrooge! Yay!

As I took the picture (several, in fact, for better blur-free luck), I muttered to John, "This one's to post on shotsnaps for Spike."

Truth.

Hey, Josh!

I passed along the info.
John's notorious for slacking off in the realm of electronic communication, so it's no wonder you lost touch. Hope all's well with you and Mariah!
