1. My middle name is Leona after my grandmother on my mother's side.
2. I have one sister younger than me.
3. I love the Boxcar Children series. They live in a boxcar and they sure look after each other as siblings. @Eggs

Boxcar children and magic treehouse were tied.

Last time I was ecstatic was a few days ago buying my new quilt.

Fond memories would be going to movies and sneaking in cheaper junk food. #wondrouswednesday

@slategreyskies had this question on their acct. ❤️ it. I read a lot as a kid, & I was into the tagged series. I also read a lot of Little House on the Prairie, Sweet Valley High, and Goosebumps. It was my parents who got me into reading. Growing up (and now), they both always had a book (many) nearby, took me to the library, & gave me books as a gift. My mom gave me a new book on snow days hence my love of reading when it‘s snowing.
