'Prayers For Sale'



I sort of ended up reading this book by mistake.

I was out to lunch with a friend last week whose book tastes I have always admired..... every book recommendation she has ever given me (at least 20) I have loved.

So, she gave me a list of about five new books to read and I could've sworn the above was on it.  Turns out it was just one recommended by Amazon because of a few others I was buying.

It started out great.  Totally held my interest.  But the middle to close to the end dragged on and on.  And sadly it became a to-do list item because I wanted to finish it.  I Hate starting a book and not finishing it.  It has to be absolutely horrid for me not to.  I always figure that there is something to be learned, even in mediocrity.

And I finished it today.  Took me almost a week.

I did end up loving the ending.

It was the kind of book that gives you a sense of how much better life is when you take hold of the moment and live it.  When you don't let a day pass by without finding some small way to make the world a better place.

And being the ever romantic that I am, my heart pitter-pattered that even in the autumn of life true love can still be found and start anew.

All in all, I'm glad I finished it.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...
