I have always loved books. We never had any in our home when I was little, but I would troll through our small school library and find all kinds of great wonders in the books that were there.
I remember getting one one day and my eyes feasted on one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. It was a Faberge egg. I looked at that book over and over. I kept telling myself, "When you get older and go to work, you can buy you one of these."
Oh, my goodness! How naive that little girl was! With the price of those great treasures, it will always have to remain just a sweet day dream. It did spark my interest in later years of reading and studying Czar Nicholas II and Alexandra. Their story has always intrigued me.
