Almost Wordless Wednesday...LOL


Do you like to read Very old diaries? I've been reading a book entitled Julie & Julia by Julia Powel...In it, she describes a man by the name of Samuel Pepys (pronounced peeps) who kept his personal journals from 1660 to 1669...and then just stopped because of his fear of going blind...It has tons of...well, lets just say it is very interesting as well as boring. I found the link to these journals online if you want to peruse them...Just click on the volume you wish to read...Happy Wednesday!
