Good morning. I am still filling our February with all things random and unusual. So here is my SIL Cindie, who kindly consented to stop over and open her head and let something fall out. I love it when that happens. A whole lot. And you never know what it’s going to be. One moment,...

You just go ahead and live a little of your life and your blogging time diminishes to a little sparkly crystal of preciousness which you hold near your heart and stare...  I have a book recommendation for you. Yes, you. This is my new thing, as opposed to telling you every book I ever read or re-read. Because I have decided that you probably don’t care, and so there you go. But if you’re looking for something, try this. Once I escaped from an orphanage to...  We’re in it deep here, friends.

A little outside the box... * CORDUROY MANSIONS by Alexander McCall Smith (Hey, Mr. Smith – want to be my new best friend?) * MY NAME IS ASHER LEV by Chaim Potok (Is it possible to be a Jewish Mormon? This book SO speaks to my soul.) * LEAVES OF GRASS by Walt Whitman (I didn’t read it all, but... |
