    MaryJane, I’ve done some charity work for Firstbook as well and will be doing it again, there is no excuse for illiteracy in a culture that throws good books in the landfills. If I wasn’t dead broke and needing to fix my roof, I’d bid in a heart beat! Thank you for stickin’ up for those that need stickin’ up for and being an all ’round good farm girl 😉
