READ! READ! READ! That is the author's favorite chant and encourages every one of every age to do it. One reason, she likes to point out, is by reading you can go around the world without leaving your house. Kittie has traveled extensively in the United States, Europe and Asia. Her life started in Minnesota, a position with an international airline caused her to transfer to Florida, retirement allowed her to move to Alabama and she now lives in Georgia.This book covers MANY of her favorite topics. First is Jesus Christ. Second is Christmas; third are children of the world. The fourth, she says with a laugh is music. She is tone deaf and cannot carry a tune at all. She does not even sing in church for fear the walls will collapse. She was holding her cat once, and started singing. The cat let out a meow and jumped out of her arms.Even though she does not have children of her own, her fascination with children of the world comes from hosting foreign exchange students. Her family has been doing it since 1968. She has hosted children from Thailand, Spain, Austria and Germany.Another topic that is near and dear to her heart is Type I diabetes. Kittie has had it since 1951 and thanks her parents for giving her the right attitude about it. She loves to talk to nervous parents with new diabetic children and explain that life has NOT stopped; just a more conservative way of living might be called for. That topic will be another book in the future.
