I haven’t done one of these in ages. Seems like a good time to get back in the habit. Since it’s been so long, I’m going to include a bit from the last of June, too. Celebrations July, for our family, always begins with our daughter’s birthday. Isn’t she gorgeous? We celebrated the 4th of…
No such thing as too many books
Not long ago I cleared enough space in our library bookshelves to accommodate our new stereo system and vinyl collection. Remember? I gave a stack of books to a friend (more like family) for her store’s upcoming event, Notes and Letters: Music and Books. That means I “needed” more books, right? Well, maybe not, but…
A new weekly blog series: Domestic Dee-Va (Books and Music)
We have made some changes in our Happyland Music Alliance business which will give me a bit more wiggle room in my schedule. I plan to use this time for several things, including some household projects and more blogging. In fact, I’m going to combine the two for a new blog series – Domestic Dee-Va….
Loose Ends
The realization that 2014 is quickly drawing to a close has hit me right upside the head. How on earth can it already be December? Where did summer go? All those missed opportunities to sit on the porch or star gaze or… I’m trying not to be overcome with regret and instead focus on what…
Library Used Book Sale Treasures
The week we left for Paris I managed to squeeze in a bit of time at our library’s fall book sale. I never pass this up if I’m in town, no matter how busy I am. Because…books! These days I’m pretty selective about the books I bring home since my home library numbers in the…
When I look back…
While looking for something on my old PC this evening I got caught up in some old emails I had saved. Way back in 2006 a number of us on a Yahoo email list wrote on the topic, “Someday when I look back upon my life…”. This is what I wrote: When I look back…
Read Across America Day
Today, March 3rd, is the NEA’s 17th annual “Read Across America Day”. That sounds like a great reason to talk about books. I joined a new, online book club the first of the year. We vote on a book to read each month. So far we’ve selected: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn (January) My Mother She…
A couple of “shelfies”
I’m not one to do “selfies” but how about a couple of “shelfies”? These are the bookshelves in our family room. This was a built-in gun case when we bought the house but we are more book people than gun people. David built these shelves for me instead. And these are the bookshelves in our…
What I’m Into (November 2013 Edition)
Well, here I am doing this quite late again. In fact, if I want to meet the deadline to link up to Leigh Kramer’s “What I’m Into” I’ve got less than 2 hours. Better hurry! Trips and Fun Stuff I wish I had something to put in this section but the truth is that between…
