I have been a collector since I was a child.... mostly aimless & pointless collections. Nothing very valuable, not too trendy, and rarely in mint condition. Just a plethora of "stuff" that I've had fun adding to through the years. If I have at least 3, I consider it a collection. I'll be posting a different collection daily, Monday through Friday, and spotlighting some other marvelous collections I've discovered on the weekends. I hope you stop by often!

I read your post on the Houghton Mifflin RFM series and it reminded me of when I was in 2nd grade (March 1967) and my reading group was verbally reading through the story "Home With The Mumps" from the "On We Go" text. That afternoon (a Friay), upon reaching the front door of my home, I suddenly became warm and uncomfortable. By the evening, I had a mild fever and was having trouble swallowing. By Monday morning, my mother had me in the doctor's office. The doctor checked me out for about 5 minutes and decided that I had THE MUMPS! So needless to say I NEVER forgot about that story. Just earlier today, I received an EBAY parcel containing a mint 1957 copy of On We Go. Guess which story I will be reading tonight! Love your site btw and thanks for the inspiration. Carl M.
