WELL NOW WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. Now I would say I need you to, but really would just love it if you did, include your Legacy Shelf contents somewhere accessible. And I get all you say in the beginning. We once hosted a kiddo from an orphanage in Ukraine for the summer (and decided to offer to adopt him but at sixteen he was not entirely down with the somewhat humbling task of integrating himself into life in a family with rules and expectations and such so he at first accepted and then backed out) and I had fallen into the trap that it was 100% *we* who would be helping *him* and was therefore quite surprised by how much *he* helped *us*. Definitely proof of love, yes. And yay, yay, yay, yayyyyy for weddings!!! There will be dancing, yes?? (asks the non-dance)

Ha! I knew someone would ask and I am unprepared to give that list. But I’ll work on it. As my kids grow into adulthood, I realize the value of such a collection more than ever. There’s just so much to pass on but they seem to reach independence all at once. Also, their spouses should have such resources!

Yes to dancing. We were just practicing Virginia Reel. 😊

Ahh, I understand re: book list. No worries of course, just always looking for good books. especially in all the categories involved here!

Hey, just yesterday I came upon this website, should it be of any interest/assistance to you all in your dancing preparations! Virginia Reel included ;]
