What I'm Reading

My youngest daughter asked me to join her book club.

I was so excited.

As a writer I love to read.

And I love to discuss with readers what writers mean

when they open their hearts to us.

This month we are reading this.

Supposedly, many African societies believe that people

are divided into three categories:

Those that are alive,

Those that are dead

and those that have departed the earth,

but are not truly dead

because someone on earth still remembers them.

Interesting concept.

The story is about a woman who is alive

and the people she knew who are dead..

Just so you know,

I'm enjoying it tremendously.

Just So You Know

Even when I'm really, really busy

I drop in to see you.

I may not leave a comment

but I'm keeping track of you

and I tell your stories

and share your insights

all week long with everyone I see

because all of you have become 

a part of my life.

Something I never expected. 

Thank you!

Today we once again celebrate PINK!

Thank you Beverly for hosting once again.

It's been such a special time.

Make sure you go here 

to read all about Colette.

And don't forget to visit some of the 

incredibly talented ladies.

Now, the reason I've been absent these past few days is

I took a vacation.

Or really a staycation

where I was going to do this?

THE WHOLE TIME!

 

But instead this happened:

Had to do a little work.

And:

Yep, I made doggie biscuits.

Blueberry-Peanut Butter biscuits

Unfortunately, said girl shown above

apparently doesn't like blueberries.

Which meant I ended up doing extra laundry when I found 

blueberries stashed all over the house

in the beds.

I also did some of this:

Yeah, lost more weight.

It's coming off slowly but surely.

So took the same clothes in another inch.

(And also tricked suggested a shopping trip to my husband.)

Of course, I'm still working on Grandson's 

dinosaur costume.

Hopefully To be completed today.

And then did some knitting.

I'm sending these out to someone special.

Along with a children's story I wrote

To also be finished today.

I'll try to remember to take some photos for you.

The only thing I haven't done . . .

Clean my desk/office/craft room.

Ugh.
