So glad your dad found that book for you and improved your memory on your play.<br /><br />Your story is bringing back amazing memories of my second grade play about Thanksgiving. I also played a Pilgrim. I remember stirring some make-believe food in a bowl with a wooden spoon and then welcoming Squanto and the other Indians to the Thanksgiving table. Such precious memories! Thanks for that walk down Memory Lane. :)Andrea Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205589098502831236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381001560780741822.post-16926306571464073742016-08-17T19:36:25.810-05:002016-08-17T19:36:25.810-05:00Good grief.

Then two years ago I purchased a Kindle to take on a trip to Scotland and oh my goodness that spark was re-lit and is a full grown passion. <br /><br />I am going to say my favorite book I own is Squanto the Friendly Indian. Why? When I was in first grade I was in a little school play for Thanksgiving. I was a Pilgrim and my whole speech was about Squanto. Now this was more years ago then I can (or want) to count. Fast forward to my late 20s and Christmas time. My dad found the book Squanto the Friendly Indian and purchased it for me. Oh my goodness. That has to be the most special and thoughtful gift from him. He didn't even come to my silly school play because it was during the day. After all it was just a little kids first grade play. I remember being hurt as a first grader, but oh how that was redeemed that Christmas Day.<br />Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091771310475846629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5381001560780741822.post-72826133008883777532016-08-17T17:31:48.213-05:002016-08-17T17:31:48.213-05:00I've heard so many positive things about Franc...I've heard so many positive things about Francine Rivers' books.

It's called A Mother's Manual and has every prayer imagineable for Mothers. I treasure it and have given several as gifts to new moms. I know that most people are referring to novels, but this is the first "book" that popped into my head that is special to me. <3 tinaturpin (at) hotmail (dot) com.
