Weekly Scribblings #34:  Foundation  (posted by Rommy)

"Today I am asking you to consider the word foundation and use that to build up your words."

One of my fondest
memories is the sight
of printed matter–books,
magazines, newspapers–
as an essential part
of my childhood home.
I loved the ability
to ask questions 
related to history,
current events, politics.
Dad always had a pile
of newspapers to catch
up on, and he did.  Mom
devoured new books.  Later
in life we would discuss
them as my sister and I
do now.  That base built
up my love of reading,
a sure segue into writing.
