Mini-rant

Ok, I love blogs. I love to read them, I love craft blogs and decorating  blogs.  I love words in any format as I’ve mentioned a gazillion times.  So I subscribe to tons of blogs, each as quirky as the books and magazines I choose to read.  So here’s my dilemma- “photographer” posed shots or [...]

This I believe

I believe in books.  I believe in reading and always having something in your hand, car, purse, bedside table to be reading.  Magazine, books, kindles, blogs- you name it, if it has words it can take you places.  Books relax me.  Books helped me to escape and imagine and dream when I was growing up [...]

Read and you will be free

What I know, is that reading is the key to the kingdom.  I love to read, I’ve loved to read since an early age, maybe four or five.  I would devour books like some people devour candy.  In a book I could live in a beautiful house with a family of mom and dad and [...]

Stumble

When am I most content? At night.  When my husband is sleeping and the kids are sleeping and I am curled up in bed reading some books or magazines.  It’s quiet in the house, I can see a glimmer or moonlight coming in my window.  I can hear cars going by.  I especially love it [...]
