I recently found a group of letters from my grandmother to my mother. In this one, Gram is extolling her ability to read and watch TV at the same time, in order to get a book done in a week. Now I know where I inherited that skill!! 👊🏻📚🤪

rubyslippersreads I could do that when I was a kid, but lost the knack somewhere along the way. 😕 5y

squirrelbrain How lovely to find those letters! 5y
rockpools That‘s wonderful. 5y
Lcsmcat What a great find! 5y
ljuliel I‘m with @rubyslippersreads I used to be able to read when everyone was home, I was making supper and the tv was on. Now I need absolute quiet or I can‘t concentrate. Also it‘d be really neat to have a grandma and mom who liked to read. 5y
MemoirsForMe Wow! What a treasure to discover! 5y
valeriegeary Oh that's neat! 😍 5y
rwmg I'm another one who used to be able to do that but not any more. Even music is distracting unless it's sung in a language I don't know 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @rubyslippersreads I‘m nowhere near as effective at it as I used to be! 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @tjwill @Megabooks @squirrelbrain @RachelO @Lcsmcat @UwannaPublishme @valeriegeary They‘ve been a joy to read - I‘m stretching them out slowly because I don‘t want them to end! (Like a good book.) 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @ljuliel I used to be better at it. These letters have really reminded me what an influence Gram had on my reading life, too. 5y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @rwmg I agree. I just generally like my space quieter as I get older, for everything I do. 5y
Misty1_2 I love this!!!!! 💖💖 5y
