Betsy tacy book set6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Robin told me to sneak out and get on the bus with her and then I could go to Kindergarten also. My father worked night shift and often was asleep around the time the bus would arrive and my mother was working. She gave me a dress to wear and I hid it in my closet. She came up with a way for me to go with her to kindergarten. When my friend Robin was to go to kindergarten, she was not happy that I could not go with her as I was a year younger. I guess, I was more like Tacy who was a bit more shy and followed along with the "great" ideas. ![]() She was more of the bossy one who took charge and came up with the ideas that usually got us into trouble, similar to Betsy. She was a year older and we became instant friends and loved playing dolls together. I met my very first "best friend" in a similar way as Betsy when a new girl moved in across the street when I was between 3-4 years old. I could relate to some of the girls experiences as I grew up in the 60's and 70's. There were no TV's, computers, cell phones to distract them away from the simpler things in life. ![]() I would best describe them as wholesome, and they share a way of life that is different than our current modern lifestyles of today. What I loved about Betsy~Tacy books was the simple and gentle approach to life, community and family. ![]()
