No App To Replace Your Lap
Gratitude is the Best Attitude
50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration Canceled Due to COVID - 19
As Butch and I were busy planning our wedding fifty years ago, we never took into consideration that the world would be suffering a pandemic of Coronavirus when it came time to celebrate our 50th Anniversary. Who Knew? Right?
Our party on March 21st has been canceled. It has been fun in the planning – going through old pictures and old memories – putting together a slide show for your viewing enjoyment – never to be seen. Oh well !?!?!?
So instead of celebrating with all you on Saturday as planned, we will be sitting home on the couch watching nothing on TV and eating macaroni and cheese. Send happy celebratory thoughts our way and envision the fun we could be having together.

Blog #1 No App can Replace Your Lap! By Diane Davies
A few days ago I posted a picture of a rabbit with a baby rabbit on her lap reading a story. Under the picture it said; “No App Can Replace Your Lap.” What a perfect blog title for a retired elementary teacher turned award winning children’s author. That be me!
This is the first post in my new blog called “No App Can Replace Your Lap.” In the first few posts I plan to talk about why it is so important to read to your children. After that I will be suggesting books new, old and in between that will make great reading possibilities for the on your lap reading time each day. Across my twenty-six years of teaching experience in elementary grades, I’ve read thousands of books to hundreds of kids. I’ll be recommending some of those but also putting forward some brand new books that are hot off the presses. My plan is to advocate as well for some of the really old books and stories that are always fun to hear over and over again. So sign up today and stay tuned for fun and exciting ideas regarding good books to read during that all important lap time.
Happy Reading!
