Glory Bee Attitudes

Well, I'm a little ahead of the game on my TBR challenge. The challenge at the beginning of the year was to pick 12 books to read during the year. I also chose the option of having 12 alternates - any of which could be substituted for a primary book. It's a good thing I chose the alternates because I couldn't always lay my hands on a book from the primary. Maybe next year's personal challenge will include some organization of my books. I generally upated Goodreads with a review once I am finished with a book. Here is my list of what was TBR and what I've read: Glory Bee's 2009 TBR Challenge . Thinking about taking the challenge for 2010? Here's the link: 2010 TBR

Well, we are one week into November and it has been a very pleasant month so far. On November 1, I had the pleasure of travelling to New Jersey to meet a wonderful friendly Norwegian who has been my online friend for many years. Judy, who I also met online but who lives nearby went with me to Perth-Amboy. In addition to meeting Barbie, the Norwegian wonder, we met her friend, Linda who travelled with her. Today, after an awesome message in church, I headed over to the Baltimore Museum of Art to meet my friend Beth. We went to the Matisse exhibit and then to brunch at Gertrude's. It was such a gorgeous day that I got there early and was able to stroll around the Hopki ns campus. After brunch, I worked off some of the food by walking thorugh the sculpture garden.
