Summer: My dad instilled in me a love of reading and also of "mysterious" things and hidden passageways. He even built me a "secret room". He finished the walls in a gable of our home and put in a light and partial floor. It became a secret hideout for my Nancy Drew best friends and I. To access it, I had to open a framed portrait that dad had put on hinges. Drove my siblings crazy when we played Hide and Seek and they could never find me! My friends still remember our secret meetings - "The Ghostly Trio". We did seances, read dirty magazines and talked about boys. Ahhh... the memories. To think my dad did all that for me.
yes, I think I'd better go phone dad. I'm so lucky to be able to do that I know.
