Did you know, at the end of his life, and after Abigail had died, John Adams slept in his library room among his beloved books (which included novels by James Fenimore Cooper).
Didn't know that, but I can relate, and have told everyone to spread my ashes over a bookstore when it's time to go. Sending lots and lots of hugs, and going back to bed to get rid of this yucky headache. RO
I've been sleeping in a recliner in my family room. I have books in other rooms, but the family room has the most with built-in shelves and a huge bookcase.
I've never heard of it 🤷♂️
ReplyDeleteWho'd a thought, huh?

Good question. I'd be interested in knowing that too. Or maybe a sofa.

DeleteSounds like a purrfect sleeping spot to me;)

No, I did not know that...but it doesn't appear odd to me to have done so.
