Still reading tho not writing


Sunset over the Yakima River on June 11, 2009, taken with my Blackberry...it was gorgeous!

Half the book worm equation with some momentum is better than none, I have to give myself that. I am reading again every chance i get, tho hardly writing. Thanks to stars for this blog, a few friends who email me regularly and notes to daughter in the am to send love and set out the daily chores...without those, I would be muted.
Reading Frank McCourt's "Tis" again and really enjoying this go. He is gifted. I bought a few more books too, sitting at my elbow so as soon as i am done, I can grab another. The question is, how to keep the writing adrift?
Bought a lot of pieces of material this last week at the thrift stores and a 101 book on quilting. I have been trying to figure out a hobby since I seem to need one that winds me down and provides a way to be creative. We will see how this goes. Kids of mine: save some favorite old clothing items since I might be making you a quilt. As a girl I spent summers with my maternal grandma and quilting was one of things we used to do together: sit and cut material patterns and baste them together. We will see if I retained any of these skills learned making old style quilt blocks with Grandma Laura Pearl.
The shower and coffee calls. TTFN.
