I’m finally back home from my weekend trip. Well, it was supposed<\/em> to be a weekend trip. But, I ended up staying for nearly a full week. You see, I went to visit my mother. She had been in the hospital for over a month, and I had heard that she was improving. Since she had been yo-yoing in health, I waited for a high point to see her. I had seen her at a very low point, and I had no desire to witness that again.<\/p>\n

I stayed at my mother’s house to keep my sister (who has been taking care of our mother) company. While there, I took some photos to share quite possibly the childhood source of my Disney fanaticism.<\/p>\n

The Wonderful Worlds of Walt Disney<\/em> is a four-book set that my sister (my other sister) and I had as children. I flipped through the pages of art and colorful stories, enthralled by it all. I even enjoyed the slightly musty smell (it’s still there!). Copies can still be purchased online at a low price on Etsy<\/em><\/a>, maybe even eBay<\/em>. I’ve thought about buying a set (complete with cardboard slip cover), but it just wouldn’t be the same. Although, it would be nice to at least have a slip cover to protect the aging treasures.<\/p>\n

Rather than go on and on, I’ll let the images tell the story.<\/p>\n
