My Quest

When I was filling out my profile info. I realized I didn't have a favorite book. Is that bad? Beth said she didn't either which super suprized me since she's a lit major.Bad or not my quest this year is to find my favorite book! I remember alot of books I liked....some enough that I recommended them to others. And of course then theres those dozens that I don't even remember reading...hence the memory thing. I guess that'll be the big challenge..remembering the one I want to call "My Favorite Book"! As a young mother reading was a wonderful...escape(bad mommy)there I said it out loud.Well, it is an escape , even now into a world of someone else, someplace else, and experiencing and learning so many different things. I remember once when we were in Monterey, California going to the presidio for Russian (air force).Jonathan and Lia were little and I was waiting for Sarah to show her little self, I got into these books by Lloyd C. Douglas (I can't believe I'm remembering this) , he wrote "The Robe". Anyway one day I'd read all day and the house looked like it. Jim came home and took one look asking, "So what'd you do all day?", I told him I'd read all day and he said, "Oh, good for you". Another reason why I love my husband so much, he never trys to run my life. And since my husband is leaving me today to go visit Lia and Sarah (say a prayer for him) I think I'll start my quest with a book recommended highly by my daughter Sarah. "Persuasion" Do you think it'll be the one?

Hey let me know if you have a favorite book...I'll add it to my list...just go to comment

    I'm so glad we are doing the blog/journal thing. I really have missed doing a journal for years. This way I'll see that I really did do something each day or so. Ha Ha Love you! Candy

 I've always had a bird feeder, for years now. They bring alot of joy to me, nature so up close and personal. Now that we don't have any pets, we've loved having our bird feeders up again. We have this one tree out back and we have a little of everything for them. A little bird bath, three feeders and a suet feeder. There's usually ten to twenty birds in the tree at all times. Lots of beautiful finches, lots of yard birds, lots of black birds (who are quite noisy) red wing black birds and yellow headed black birds. We finally identified one that we couldn't figure out and its a Evening Grosbeak. Some come and we never see them again, just passing through. But, it's our little obsession right now, gives me something to do every morning. But, dang those birds are eating us out of house and home!

 chop, chop, chop were the sounds I woke up too yesterday. I've been hearing those sounds alot these last few weeks as my manly man has made hot sauce and salsa galore. But..............this morning it was different. I woke up to a beautiful bowl of tabbouleh...my favorite salad. The combination of the bulgar, parsley, cucumber and tomatoes just tickles my palet. My favorite part this time of the year are the pomegranate seeds, they add such color and flavor.(I really shouldn't be eating it but I chewed extra well ummm) Oooops a jar of grape juice just broke, manly man is canning....be right back. O.K. that's cleaned up and I'm heading out for a long overdue walk. It's a lovely day, blue skies and sun.

all is well

My daughter Becky should be home from the hospital soon, her surgery went well. Next the mourning for what was and will never be again, she had a lot of good cries last night. They weighed the breast and it was seven and a half pounds! I knew it was close to ten. Like she said jokingly she was looking forward to getting "alot off her chest". When I talked to her on the phone this morning I asked her how in the world did she ever get anything done with a two year old and 5mon. old! I did manage to get us all clean and fed by eleven. Is that good? And to think I raised six! Todays is Becky's Abbie's birthday, we hope to go to the movies this afternoon. I guess on the way home from the hospital they are picking up a new kitty for the children. They had promised them one when they moved in to their house, so how wonderful of them to realize what a good time it would be to bring one home. My children are so wise in so many things.Well........baby calls! Happy Day to you a
