A room without books is like a body without a soul...Marcus T. Cicero

"Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." Francis Bacon

"Make thy books thy companions. Let thy cases and shelves be thy pleasure grounds and gardens." (judah ibn-Tibbon 12th century)

RE: Followers I prefer my followers have some books in common with me and preferably be in some of the groups I'm in.

I have loved to read as far back as I can remember. I will be forever grateful to my parents for instilling in me the love of the written page.

I am a wife, mom, Nina and retired LPN living in Birmingham, AL.

I chose to make a lifestyle change in JAN of 2012 and am spending time in silence and solitude each day. I must say it is the best gift I have given myself and great therapy. Some of my favorite time is spent on our screened back porch or in my hammock enjoying nature. "Silence is golden."

Reading is my first love. Other hobbies are music, camping, Thrift store shopping, nature and SEC football.
