Terry,
Yes my mom had the luxury of being a stay at home mom (she worked only 2 
short term jobs, but dad carried the ball and we hardly seen him because of 
his many hours of overtime). She sometimes read to me as a child, but we 
were given tons of Little Golden Books that were passed down through the 
generations that we learned from. We'd carry them around asking someone to 
sit down and read to us. We were encourage to read along, or follow the 
words as the story was being read to us. Way back in my memory I even 
remember my Hungarian grandmother learning to read a few words in English 
from the picture alphabet books.
I also had a small hand crank child's phonograph that I played with for 
endless hours, listening to small children's story records and classical 
music.
>From this background I taught my son rigorously with these same books with 
many others added to the collection. He was more frequently read to than I. 
This had both good and bad results in his case. Upon entering 1st grade he 
could read at a 4th grade level and was asked to read aloud to his class 
frequently. This attention to his skill did not help. Back then our school 
system was not geared to promote a child with "special" skills in a certain 
field for advancement to another level. He quickly lost interest and felt he 
could let things slide to get ahead.
So its great that modern technology has made talking readers 
available.There's such a wealth of information available to everyone through 
the computer, libraries and readers that one person's attention is no longer 
necessary, unless the human bonding remains a factor in the future of an 
individual and in my opinion that is an important necessity for the future 
of family life.

Thanks for the great stories, Audrey! I do not remember my mom or grand 
mother ever telling me stories, like that. I think she read me a book, once 
in a while. I was raised by a single mother and a grand mother. My mom 
worked all day, so I kind of missed out on the pleasures of a stay at home 
mom.
You sure have a talent for reading!
Merry Christmas to all!

Terry P

Your welcome. You were quiet as a little church mouse. Several people asked 
in the beginning if you were there, but we didn't hear a reply.
Merry Christmas and a Healthy New Year
Audrey
PS When I talked to you earlier it sounded like you got your cough back 
again.

Thank you very much Audrey. I enjoyed your seasonal tales.

I also got to finish my beaded Christmas tree while listening.
