My mom gave me the most wonderful Easter gift - this kitty book she loved as a child. Her own copy is long gone but she found this one in beautiful condition with the original bell and ribbon!

I saw us traveling far away together. All the places I've always longed to go. I saw us leaning on the rail of a ship, looking at the sea and stars... standing on a tropical beach, in the moonlight, with the palm trees sighing above us. Then the palm trees changed into those pollarded willows by the canal, just before the level crossing. And all the silly dreams disappeared.
BRIEF ENCOUNTER 1945, dir. David Lean
