Interesting Mail Today

I decided a few months back to subscribe to Reader's Digest. I got my first one today. For August/September. I can remember when my grandmother used to get hers. She had stacks of them out on the porch that she had saved over the years. She had subscribed for so many years the company had given her a life-long subscription. When I was five or six and living with my grandparents my great-grandmother was living with us. She was well into her 90s and was blind. She could still stitch quilt pieces together. I used to watch her do this by the hour. Keeping busy and being productive. I took it upon myself to entertain her. With all those magazines. Even before I could read I could take one of those magazines, look at the pictures, and come up with a story to tell my great grandma Rachel. Years later I still enjoy the jokes and funny stories as well as the articles. I wonder if they still sell the Condensed Books. Remember those?
