Shiloh Sunday


Not Shiloh.
Shiloh in sun.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “simple.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Let me put this plainly. Getting older isn’t simple. I used to rearrange the furniture quite often. Getting ready for company took hardly any effort. I haven’t even started packing. I do have a list. Hopefully, because it is for camping, it’ll be simple.

Even so…

Finishing Friday


The colorful balloon diamond painting is more than halfway finished.
The Fleegle Heel Scrappy Socks are an ankle from being finished. I have quite a bit of that pretty yarn left to start my next pair.

This week I’ve been busy planning for company and a camping trip this next week.  I wish I could take Milo but the camping spot would cost us two vintage ladies more for the site. So the guys will bach it while we try to show that over 70 ladies can rough it. We did it before, a couple years ago. We can do it again.

I may not have a lot of time to blog. But maybe I’ll share a picture or two.

I can’t wait! And I’m grateful for the motivation to clean up a bit, too.


My Next Breath: A MemoirMy Next Breath: A Memoir by Jeremy Renner
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s always hard to rate memoirs. It is a life experience through another’s eyes. And for what Jeremy Renner went through to have so much gratitude and love and enjoyment of life is a miracle.

Jeremy Renner not only wrote of his experience but also narrates the book well.

I think my biggest issue is the repetition. Still, I think it is through enthusiasm and need to school his own spirit that these phrases and stories repeat.

I am grateful to have listened to this audiobook on Libby.

One-Liner Wednesday


Milo knows how to spend a hot summer day.

A part of Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday fun.

The President's DaughterThe President’s Daughter by Bill Clinton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Don’t read this if you expect to ease into sleep at night. At 4:30 in the morning, I had to force the audiobook off so I could sleep. And yet I couldn’t. This book was very suspenseful.

With a cast of narrators that includes Tony Goldwyn, Fajer Al-Kaisi, James Chen, Jeremy Davidson, Amanda Dolan, Peter Ganim, Dion Graham, January LaVoy, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Soneela Nankani, the story is lively. The characters are full, flawed, and human.

About halfway through, I thought it was just an epilogue from the end. Then I looked at the progress line and saw that there was still a lot more to read. I needed to sleep!

This book is the second installment in the series, and I find that the collaborative writing of James Patterson and Bill Clinton creates a believable story that is also somewhat scary. Let this serve as a warning to be read in the light of day. Maybe a car ride audio rather than bed.

I am grateful to have borrowed this Libby audiobook.

From Here to the Great UnknownFrom Here to the Great Unknown by Lisa Marie Presley
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

With Riley Keough and Julia Roberts as narrators and including recordings by Lisa Marie Presley, I thought this would be quite the interesting read (listen). Instead, I found it confusing, if not just boring. Rich people’s problems.

Still, the family issues were common enough and pulled me along. And of course, meeting the music people who were famous in my youth.

I’m sure there are people who would fight with me about my opinions, but I was never an Elvis fan, even if my mother-in-law ( who saw him in concert in Long Beach) once saw him walking to a car, incognito as a woman. Who am I to question her? I did like some of his songs and even mastered one on the ukulele. (Love Me Tender) Oh, his gospel songs were pretty, too.

But the book just didn’t do it for me. Sorry. I was glad to get it from Libby. I’m sure others will love it. Enjoy.

Sunday Funny



Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “toe/tow.” Use one, use both, use them any way you’d like. Bonus points for using both. Have fun!

When you dance toe-to-toe,

You could end with kids in tow.

I don’t dance, except alone,

Just me, ‘like a complete unknown.’

Just me and my toes.

Finishing Friday


I’m finally to the basket. Still need to finish a couple spots. I love the colors.
Shiloh helps display my scrappy socks. I’m starting the heel today.
Too sleepy to open her beautiful green eyes.

Happy Cat’s Day.
