I"m #currentlyreading #LassieComeHome a #yaclassics which I read as a child. It is a #reread
I didn't read so many for #20in4 #readathon because I'm not in the mood. Yesterday my uncle died and we didn't saw him for a few months because we are under lockdown and he was in a hospital. Tomorrow will be his birthday and we are going to say goodbay ?
My romance readathon will be announce a bit later because I need some time for myself.

1. I would be Lassie, a nice gentle dog that everyone loves!
Lassie is a fictional character created by Eric Knight. She is a female Rough Collie dog, and is featured in a short story that was later expanded to a full-length novel called Lassie Come-Home.

2. Yes we do get snow in Bucks County PA.

I never missed the TV show as a kid but had no idea it was based on a book. I read it to my kids though and it‘s beautiful. #homecoming #startreksummerjune

Megabooks I loved Lassie, too! 5y
Susanita My friends have a collie, and he's a great dog. 5y

(Day 14 - #HardDaysNight)

*Many of you may not remember Lassie because the books, movies & tv shows began in the 40s. By the time I was watching them as a child, they were already in syndication. But I couldn‘t get that phrase, “working like a dog” and Lassie out of my head, so...
Also, I‘m a day late, I know...but between migraine & the weather, I never got to post this until now. Sorry! 😐

Cinfhen Sorry about the migraine!!! I‘m part of the sufferers club 😭 6y
gradcat @Cinfhen Thanks for your thoughts here...I‘m so sorry you get them, too. Lately I seem to be getting them more often. Got new meds, but I‘m not sure they‘re any better than anything else I‘ve ever taken...oh well! Love your comments woman! 🥰 6y
Mdargusch Oh yes! One of my favorite shows. 💙 I hope you‘re feeling better! 👍🏼 (edited) 6y

Crazeedi @gradcat I'm so sorry to hear you've been suffering! My hubby's cluster headaches are back, he hasn't had for 3 years, now they come every day at almost the same time, last 45 min or so . They're horrible, hes going to go to dr. Thursday. 6y
Reviewsbylola Great connection. 6y
emilyhaldi My 5th grade teacher read this book aloud to us and I still remember the whole class sobbing!! 😂😭 6y
gradcat @emilyhaldi That is so cool! Seriously, I think those books would be great for young school kids. That your teacher read them to you guys just warms my old heart! ❤️ ♥️ 💜 6y
gradcat @Mdargusch Makes me feel good that somebody remembers those shows...I can still hear Lassie‘s whine in my head! 👍 🐶 💚 6y
gradcat @Reviewsbylola Thanks for saying so...I love to get you guys‘ comments....🥰 6y
gradcat @Crazeedi Hey! I got your note yesterday...you‘re so thoughtful, and I‘m a terrible pen-pal! I hope you & your husband have a lovely Easter 🐣... even if you two are alone (it‘ll still be nice!). I‘m sorry about his clusters...I have a friend for whom they occur seasonally, which makes me wonder if he hasn‘t started getting them again because of the wild & wacky weather....? Hope he gets some relief from the doctor. 😍❤️ 6y

“‘She wants to meet Joe.‘

‘But the poor thing's so weak. We shouldn't let her go, Sam.‘

‘Aye, but she's walked hundreds of miles to see our lad.‘”

Looking at my mother-in-law's old books & thought I'd share. It's too bad I can't read or speak Ukrainian. I'd love to read these! I'll have to share some of the bizarre illustrations.

ferskner Those are SO cool! 6y

Lassie was a most loyal #pet. And the book is so very different from the TV series! For lovers of dogs, Scotland, childhood, and a good story. #maylovesclassics #litsyclassics @Sarah83
