TBR 2009


Join the 2009 TBR Challenge at: TBR 2009 Challenge


I've joined a TBR challenge and have selected 24 books from my shelf. I plan to read a minimum of 12. Of the 24, there are 12 primaries and 12 alternates. If I get through all of them, then I still have about a half dozen more waiting. Here's to knocking some books off my personal shelf before I run out and buy or borrow more! My list is at the bottom of this blog. Through some fluke of Google Docs, I can't get rid of the blank lines. If you page down, you will see my list of books. Or you can click on this link: Glory Bee's 2009 TBR Challenge List

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation.  Don't we all want to be admired and respected?  Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance?  LOL I'm guilty. I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

Just a few more memories

There were a few photos that I didn't post on the entry about our trip to Boca Raton.  I'm sure I have a bunch more in various places. I figure we gained 7 pounds, 700 friends, 7,000 memories and 7,000,000 photographs. Video from Awards Night

Ornament of the Day - December 1

After a year long hiatus from blogging, I'm back to muse about the ornaments hanging on our tree.  Each day I will select an ornament and tell something about where it came from and the memories that it invokes.   December 1 - Currier & Ives This ornament came to me from my parents. They got it as a gift for opening a Christmas Club. These accounts are not so popular now and they sometimes earned a bad rap for having a lot of restrictions and a low or non-existent interest rate, but back in the day they were how we paid for Christmas. Members were often given some sort of token give such as this ornament.   When I look at this ornament it takes me back to my youth and young adulthood. We'd put a few dollars into our Christmas Club each week and just after Thanksgiving we'd get our cash.  Shopping meant going "downtown".  For us, that meant downtown Scranton.   Sometimes we'd take the bus. I remember as a child how exciting it was to be downtown g...
