Kenneth Grahame Quote of The Week From Greg Bover

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

"Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Water Rat to Mole, The Wind in the Willows, 1908, by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) Click the picture to view his wikipedia page-

image

Born in Scotland, Grahame was raised by his grandmother in rural Berkshire. Although he began writing in his 20’s, his main career was with the Bank of England in which he rose to the rank of Managing Secretary. He retired from the Bank at the age of 49, and the same year published his masterwork featuring Rat, Mole, Badger, and the infamous Mr. Toad, for which he received the Lewis Carroll Award.  It is a classic of children’s literature that has been reprinted dozens of times and can be seen as a play, heard as a recorded book, or listened to as a radio play. This is one of the great books to read aloud with a young person in your life.

Cape Ann Yankee Swap

hi Joey,
We have a group which is like FreeCycle, but the local version so much more tailored to the needs of our community.  Membership is free and anyone who belongs has the right to tell the others what they need (for example, someone just moved into an apartment and needs a sofa and a microwave) or what they have to give away (someone else just got a new sofa so has one to give away or they are tired of their books and want to get rid of them, etc.).  This is all done for free, no money is exchanged and it helps keep stuff out of the landfills and also helps people make do in tough times or just because they are frugal and would like to use their money other than to buy "stuff".  People who want to belong just send a message to capeannyankeeswap@yahoogroups.com or they can write to me directly at kirstin@sparx3.comand I will get them set up.  Thanks for the help in advance!
Regards,

Kirstin Elaine Myers
