I'm sure she will appreciate it. And, your description of that train coming while you stood there is terrifying.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-60388738335872836552017-04-06T02:38:11.468-05:002017-04-06T02:38:11.468-05:00I've known Rebecca since she was born. I have ...I've known Rebecca since she was born. I have loved all her books and like Rebecca, I don't have a favorite. I will testify that her description of Joe Tesla and his dog in the subway tunnel as a train came roaring through was perfect. I found myself in that situation while I was with my brother and his friends as we explored train tunnels years ago. My brother and his friend ran ahead into the tunnel, while I walked slower because I was leading a blind friend so he could experience the train tunnel as I described it to him. When the guys came tearing back past us toward the tunnel opening because vibrating tracks meant a train was on its way, the blind friend and I could not run. We got as close to the wall as we could, standing on rubble and just waited. I had my small dog in one arm and the blind guy held the other. When the train passed, we made out way out, waving to my mother, sister and the guys like race car drivers after a wreck. Read Rebecca's description, it's much better than mine, but Joe Tesla was far braver than I. I was terrified. I can't wait to read Hannah's new adventures and hope to see more of Joe as well. To think Rebecca as a tiny baby would become such an incredible story teller as an adult, (and a gorgeous person), certainly did not occur to me, but I am so glad she did.Evyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10219116440132043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-45844004149138940072017-04-05T19:45:00.259-05:002017-04-05T19:45:00.259-05:00I do, Rebecca.

I only went to the Sugar Bowl once with Lesa and I can't remember what I ordered except that there was butterscotch and talk of a rock star father. Remember all that, Lesa?Rebecca Cantrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356263415472862380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-28733086040275590362017-04-05T07:48:33.669-05:002017-04-05T07:48:33.669-05:00Jeff!
