Happy, Happy. Joy Joy! Happy Birthday to my sister in sunny Florida today!Whenever I see one of these old, blue covered Nancy Drews I think of her. She had a large collection in her bedroom, and there was a time when it seemed her face was always stuck in one. She also had some of the newer, yellow covered ones with a picture to grab the reader. I read a few. A favorite was "The Secret of the Old Clock". The Hardy Boys, of course, were a favorite collection of mine, along with a series about life at the service academies: "Midshipman... something." Reading... the great escape!
Happy birthday. Sounds like I'd like to read those even now in old age.
ReplyDeleteI had my face in those books for years.
ReplyDeleteThey are still sold over here....
I liked your image, text and congratulations to your sister.
(Perhaps my husband will send me a congratulation as an sms today?
He has not said anything yet.... lunch time now. :)
Happy Birthday to your sister.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful homage!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your sis!

I dearly love tributes of any sort to friends and relatives; may your sister have a happy day. I was a voracious reader as a child but somehow I never got into the Nancy Drew books. Perhaps I should give them a look now! PS. After today, come visit me on my Mazatlán, México blog!!
ReplyDeleteI loved Nancy Drew. Happy Birthday to the snowfree sister. May the sun be warm and gentle upon her face today and always.
ReplyDeleteLove the pic, love books . . .and happy b-day to your sister in sunny fla-de-dah!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday CAM! She read so many she penned a story herself! Have a wonderful day in sunny FL.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your sis!
ReplyDeleteHappy Day to your sister! I read all those books and still enjoy a good mystery.
ReplyDeleteI read a ton of Nancy Drew books when I was a kid. :))
ReplyDeleteI devoured them all! Wasn't Carolyn Keene also the author of the Hardy Boys and the Bobsey Twins? Anyway, I hope your sister's special day is full of fun and low on mysteries.
ReplyDeleteYes, happy birthday to her! I loved the Hardy Boys. I think I read every one. Haven't thought of them in decades.
ReplyDeleteI discovered Nancy Drew in 6th grade. A classmate's had dozens of them--gifts from her mom. She lent me a stack of her books every week. I dove into them and hardly came up for air until I made my way through the stack. The next week I'd get a new stack from her. A sweet gesture that I continue to appreciate even now.
