Kudos to you for pulling this all together, Holly!<br /><br />Deb: Thanks for being a fan of the series! <br /><br />Joan: I never thought about which series was better--Trixie or Nancy--I just gobbled them both up, as well as (at an earlier age) the Bobbsey Twins, the Happy Hollisters, the Mary Poppins books, and Pippi Longstocking.Suzanne Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17581197639590268329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488191966351130111.post-68603721917157276572011-04-01T10:01:21.663-05:002011-04-01T10:01:21.663-05:00Hi Holly,

It's fun to put our heads together on ideas.<br /><br />I had actually forgotten the Bob Whites! Thanks for reminding me. I loved Trixie too, but my best friend was more of a Nancy fan. We had running discussions about which was better.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by SD!Joan Holubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955630482523678111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5488191966351130111.post-61007372745196420502011-04-01T09:04:03.764-05:002011-04-01T09:04:03.764-05:00What a cool post--love your back-and-forth dialogu...What a cool post--love your back-and-forth dialogue!
