Boxing Up Old Friends

My sweetie and I are temporarily sharing an office and to make room, I had to box up some of my favorite old friends. You should have seen me, taking some down off the bookshelf that we are getting rid of. I would put some in the box and then take a couple back out because I just can't part with them yet. Books have been my friends ever since I learned to read. They have taken me on adventures, entertained me, kept my mind off of problems. When I was growing up we lived right by a library and I would be there every week. There were no computers to entertain me, no game boys or video games and only three channels on the TV for a long time so books became my main source of entertainment. So some of my old favorites are going into storage for now but I did manage to keep a few that I read over an over again out. Does anyone else like to read certain books over and over? And what are your favorite books?

I also had to box up my collection of my old Nancy Drew books that I had when I was a young girl. I have my name in all of these books and on the inside cover where it lists all of the Nancy Drew books, I had marked off each one I would read or collect. I loved Nancy Drew.
Now my sweetie wanted me to box up my little bunny that sat on the bookshelf also but I put my foot down on that one. This little guy has been my buddy since I was an infant. He has no "fur" left on him and has been sewn in many places. He will be sitting on the new table we are putting in the office. There are some things you don't put in a box and in storage. I can see that my sweetie and I might butt heads while sharing an office for awhile, let's hope it's a short temporary situation. LOL Have a great Thursday!
Would you box up this little guy???
