One of the advantages of having son who is good with tech is that he can create a picture of a character from a book I love, that has…you know…
no pictures.
Not only does he create the image…
but he can personalize it.
Why, he can even make it into…
the Scottish man of my dreams.
If I was 40 years younger, that is…
and liked pointy ears.
Ha.
Our sweet Kortney’s first book came out yesterday!! It’s incredible and you should grab it right here!
Checkout the teaser reel.
We’re all so proud of you Kortney!!
Congratulations!
Oh, my GOSH!! Look what is going on at my place!
Josh and Nate are setting up the bookshelves…
that I’ve dreamed of having alllll myyyyy liiiiife!!!
I used to work at a bookstore when I was a youngster and that only enhanced my deep love of books….and the need for more bookshelves! haha.
I wasted no time in getting started filling these pretty things.
Fiction. Alphabetical, by author…of course.
We’re just getting started, because once I’m finished with fiction…
I’ll move on to non-fiction…
and self-help…
and history…
and homesteading…
and writing…
and crochet…
and maternity…
and natural health…
*SIGH*
I guess we’ll be needing the other three bookshelves set up.
Then we’ll move on to…
Church books.
I should probably just hang a sign outside that says, “Library.”
But then, that might disturb all the time I need…
to read.
Heh, heh.
I seem to be having a Beatrix Potter “thing” these days.
First, we watched the movie “Miss Potter” for the millionth time.
Can’t get enough of that one.
Then Jillian visited the Potter museum and brought back some beautiful treasures from the Lake District in England.
Then there are all the magical books that make my heart sooo happy.
I remember working at the bookstore when I was just a kid and dreaming of owning the whole World of Peter Rabbit boxed set…someday…
… someday.
Heh, heh.
100 Happy Days #8
I just realized that instead of dragging my fluffy body to the boring old Nordic Track, and trying to beg myself to stay on there a measly 20 minutes–
I can set up my kindle with big, huge, READABLE font and engross myself in a really good book.
Seriously, time just flew by without me even knowing it. In fact, I looked up at the clock and I had gone over my goal time. My first thought was, “I’m not finished with this chapter.” Heh, heh.
Perhaps I’ve finally discovered the secret to exercising for more than 20 minutes by giving myself permission to read.
Exercising is making me pretty darn happy…
at last.
