Monday, March 5, 2012

well, it's Monday but I'm not too happy about it.

Nothing wrong, really, shopping and lunch with my Mom were great but I'm at a funeral today. My Aunt died, it wasn't unexpected, just sad.

Other sad news...Jan Berenstain has died, following her husband who died in 2005. Their children will continue this beloved series. My youngest is 22 (years!) and I'm still buying the books.

Good news is that I finished the baby blanket before the funeral so I don't have to make an extra trip to deliver it. And, I'm going condo-hunting later this week. Looking for an investment/Daughter's home.


Hope everyone has a great week planned.

Mailbox Monday is a place to share all the wonderful books that have come to live in your home– including paper books, e-books and audio books. Started by Marcia of The Printed Page, the mailbox is currently on tour. Check it out so you know where to go next month.

Thank you!

I have no idea why the captcha thing is showing up. I've got the setting marked "no" that I don't want it. Grrrrrr! But, I believe that if you skip entering anything it will post.
