When it's silent in my house I can hear the ticking of the wall clock counting out the time as it passes. It's not often that quiet here. I like music and most of the time there is a television on somewhere. These January days I feel like a goldfish in a bowl looking out at the world knowing I'm safe and cozy right where I am. There are books to read and household things to do. But I love the stillness of January. Even the birds have left the feeder for their afternoon nap.
Our family Mother, Grandmother, Sister and me loved Gladys Taber. I have many of her books and they are just as readable today as 50 years ago.
