Lessons from Life
The Little Red Buckets a Story of Family and Giving by Lynda M. NelsonOne of my wonderful nieces loaned The Little Red Buckets by Lynda M. Nelson to her mother, my sister. My sister liked it so much that she loaned it to me. It is a short little book with a big message. The descriptions of time with Grandmother brought the smell of home made bread and lavender to my mind. I could picture the sweet face of the little granddaughter on the aging woman's lap.It was a picture of the influence a grandmother or friend can make in a child's life because they take the time to talk of things other than the "tyranny of the urgent." (such as: "Make your bed. Are you ready for basketball practice? Don't do this or that. Get your homework done." Grandmothers have time to talk about life issues and times past. Their input is invaluable to the next generations. This was a lovely book.
