More Than A Song

“There was a telephone and a red balloon and a picture of- the cow jumping over the moon……….. Goodnight room, Goodnight Moon!” Do you know the book?! It’s a book I will probably never forget. It was read over and over for many years at our house, very much an all time favorite. As we […]

I just got home this morning from being in Texas for 6 days. My plane landed yesterday afternoon and sis Stacy picked me up because the boys were playing golf, as usual! We shopped a bit, ate supper out, then crashed. Don & I got up at 4:30 this morning to drive home so he […]

I was tagged by Debi for this fun little book meme; being a homeschooling mom she reads quite often! This is all about the books you’re reading or going to read. Not sure who to tag, Debi tagged Stacy already but I think this is one Lynne could do; she’s also been reading circles around […]

The Year of Pleasures by Elizabeth Berg was on my spring reading thing list and I finished it up over the weekend. I read it a bit slowly I think because parts of it seemed so sad to me and made me teary. Betta Nolan and her husband John live in Boston where both have […]

Update: You guys did good! Some knew it, like Kim who’s been a nurse and Claire, who’s in med school! And I think the rest of you knew it had something to do with the eyes. exophthalmic: abnormal protrusion of the eyeballs, protrusion of the eyeball caused by disease or injury. Claire emailed me all […]

Got more than a letter yesterday, got a package in the mail! With a book in it! I won one of the books that Katrina has been giving away at her place lately. The title of this one is Lost in NashVegas, by Rachel Hauck….a new to me author and book. I might need to […]

I’m participating in the Spring reading challenge hosted by Katrina and thought I’d better do an update post before it completely slips my mind! My list of books for this can be found in this post and I kept my list shorter this time around. The first two I finished were Colorado Weddings by Joyce […]

Last month I participated in a contest over at Amy’s and won a little book out of the deal! She told me it would be a Lori Wick book and I was excited about that since I’ve read several Wick books before. I got it in the mail recently and I’m looking forward to reading, […]

Busy day today and I saw this at Debi’s place early this morning and it has taken me most of the morning to get around to it! It looked quick and easy and that’s what I’m going for today. Oh, and play along with us! 1. What are you currently reading? I just started 204 […]

Last night I finished reading Phantom of the Opera and I must say that I did really enjoy it. It was a bit different than some of the lighter stuff that I usually read. I’ve seen the stage play/musical several times and we own the movie so I was already familiar with the story. It […]

Katrina at Callapidder Days is hosting another reading challenge similar to the one she did last fall……a Spring Reading Thing this time! You can read about it here and be sure to check out this post for more specifics and all the links to the other participants. You can get some good ideas from what […]

I took 4 books with me last week when we went on our ski trip to Colorado. Daughter K thought it was silly I think to have so many with me but like I told her, I get “twitchy” if I don’t have enough books with me or if I run out of something to […]

Wow, some of you are really good! Barb, Brenda, Claire and Lynne knew what it was and had heard of “antimacassar” before. This one had me stumped……it is a small covering placed on the backs or arms of chairs to prevent wear or soiling. I would have just called it a doily! I did think […]

I used to think that I was fairly intelligent/educated, I got a college degree and even taught school a few years! But lately while reading I’ve been coming across more words that I have NO idea what they mean and it makes me feel a bit dumb! Sometimes I can tell what they mean from […]

In the fall I went with Stacy to a library sale in her town, only time I’ve been to something like that but I hope to go again! She went to another one recently and I think she’s gotten some pretty good books, she might have picked better than me. I read the ones I […]
