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.

He wanted to be near what he loved after losing so much.
I didn't know that. That's sweet.

sad... yet not.....at the same time...I hope someone buried a few of his favorites with him ~~~~~~~~~~ ♥♥♥
I have books in every room, so can relate to this! Hugs, Valerie
Amazed once again.

I'm heading over your way to get my Thursday factoid now and I'm sure it will be something I didn't know:)
Your Thursday factoid:)
I found it poignant:)
I wonder if he had a bed in the library or slept in a chair.
Love,

Good question. I'd be interested in knowing that too. Or maybe a sofa.
No lo sabía debía sentirse solo. Te mando un beso y buen fin de semana
No, I did not know that...but it doesn't appear odd to me to have done so.
Did not know that. I think I would be friends with him. I love being surrounded by books :)
No Sandra I didn'y know. Sorry for the lateness.
Take care.
Yvonne.
You have a good weekend too.
Hugs,
Not odd at all:)
Sorry your hand is giving you fits, Yvonne:(
He would have been a fascinating friend, wouldn't he?
