So THAT’s why her shoes are so big! It’s not that her feet are huge, it’s that she only has her toenails clipped once per year and needs the extra shoe length to accommodate the nails after 11+ months’ growth.
wonder if she wrote about school. …… And what happens when tje principal is Not In….Mom would drp me off at Woolworth’s and go next door to shop at Woodwar’s. For 2-3 hours I would sit on the floor and work my way through Nancy Drew. The tough part was remembering where I left off because we only did the shopping a couple times a month..I learned not to crack the spines of the books – we weren’t buying them. Just reading.

Bobbsey Twins: I’m old and I don’t remember them or seeing a picture; vaguely remember my mother mentioning them.

Trixie Belden! I still have a few of the original blue Nancy Drew books. Now, who was the student nurse? Sue Barton? Does that sound right?

I LOVE Agnes’ vocabulary. Some of the glimpses into her personal life, on the other hand…YIKES! (screaming during toenail clipping???)

I first discovered The Bobbsey Twins 37 years ago, and I still prefer them to Stephen King.
