My mother read a lot and my Great Great Grandfather had his own library. The books were actually very good and I liked the way the authors would weave a tale to hold you spellbound. I wanted to be that person and started telling stories and turned in some for school work. When you live in the country and the snow shuts you out from the world you have a lot of time to think or dream. This was also a good way to loose yourself from the world when things got tough and they were tough most of the time.
