Kali Sees Something is Up


20170314_122511

Hey, MommaDar! Come down and walk with me. You have on your clunkyย Crocs so you’ll be okay.

20170314_122422

I see spring all around. But do you smell that?

20170314_122209

I think it is the dog in the sky. I think I smell that wet stuff.

20170314_133355

And the same stuff over there.

And do you guys know what MommaDar said to me? She said that wet stuff is called rain. And rain is what makes this:

20170314_133029

She calls weeds, I call grass and I like it to chew.

20170314_133035

That turns into this which makes MommaDar A-choo!

20170314_13321120170314_133324

But the buds on these trees, especially the little apple tree makes her happy. So the Wet Stuff can come help us. Thanks for walking with me!

Share Your World–Monday


Do you push the elevator button more than once? ย Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?

Oh, that would be silly! On the other hand, I think it makes the idiot button thinks there is a crowd waiting to cross the street. That or it gives me something to do when looking at all that traffic.

Do you plan out things usually or do you do them more spontaneous (for example if you are visiting a big city you donโ€™t know?)

Though I get a lot more done if I have a plan, life is meant to beย lived. And I have enjoyed many an adventure by the seat of my pants! Yep, I’m a pantzer that likes a bit of an outline.

Describe yourself in at least four uplifting words.

Curious, Escapest, Milliner, Musician, Artist, Friend

If you had a choice which would be your preference salt water beaches, fresh water lakes, ocean cruise, hot tub, ski resort or desert?ย 

Salt water beaches, ocean cruise, hot tub, desert. Though the order is reversed in my living it.

Optional Bonus question: ย What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?ย 

I am grateful that I received the battery and adapter for my HP! I am grateful for my mind still working. I’m glad to be learning three languages. I may not be perfect or be able to speak said languages, but I am having fun learning. I am glad my hands work and I can learn to make new things.

I’m looking forward to getting out to see the other Hugger Hat people. Keep your fingers crossed that we can figure out what to do with Kali who can’t be left at home alone.

The Last Chance Matinee (The Hudson Sisters #1)The Last Chance Matinee by Mariah Stewart

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One of the things I noticed as I wished this story hadn’t ended was that it has a series name: The Hudson Sisters #1. Yay! I don’t have to leave my new friends forever! And while I am talking about the ending, relax, it isn’t a cliff-hanger. Everyone is safe. I just miss them.

You can look up the blurb to see what the book is about. I try to concentrate on my feelings about the story. What I noticed most of all, was the lack of conflict and yet I kept wanting to read more. I suppose the conflict is the undertone of how the characters ended up owning a theater. They had to spend the time getting to know each other and see how they fit into the scheme of things. But there was no great adventure, no one is in grave danger. Yet through each of their perspectives, you see their birth order and history.

It was because of the description of the story on the blurb on NetGalley dot com that I picked this up to review. I am so glad I did. It is quite an interesting story. I look forward to book two so I can see these women and watch them remake a theater together.

All Good StoriesAll Good Stories by Linda G. Hill

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As an author of a busy, fun blog who is a single mom facing some special needs tests, trials, and triumphs, Linda G. Hill won my admiration long ago. I love reading her blog. I enjoy participating in her challenges. So it is understandable that I had to read her book.

Remember the challenge question in When Harry Met Sally? No. Not the restaurant scene. Wouldn’t we all want what she ordered? No. The question was: Can best friends that are male and female remain friends or is it inevitable that romance would play a part? Sally believed in the friendship as I recall whereas Harry said that friendship can’t stay in that realm. That sex was the most likely outcome.

All Good Stories attempts that question once again. This time it is through a series of smaller stories (started as A-Z challenge on Linda’s blog) that tell of the ebb and flow of friendship of Jupiter and Xavier. I won’t tell you how the story goes. I will merely say that there are topless pirates and bookstores involved. And there are laugh aloud situations. This is worth an evening with popcorn, at least. I enjoyed it and I think you will, too.

Today’s blog will be a little short. Not just because it is the prompt of the day, short, that is, but because I am fighting the flare from hell. That nice, sort of productive day yesterday? Yeah. Although it might not be the little tiny, short walk, but the spring allergens floating around our area. ย So short blog, short slipper, doubt I’ll finish today. Short day due to naps.

Wow, Am I Tired!

Dar: ย This is so great! I just had to reblog. These were my comments on Cee’s site:

I thought the 11:11 one was only one my friends and I shared. I was so glad to find it. As for the straw wrappers… The manufacturers of late make it difficult to take the wrapper off. It is so tight. But I used to us the wrapper for decisions. This guy or that? Should I ask for this or that? This name of baby or that? Should I stay or go? Any either or. But now I end up ripping the wrapper trying to get it off the straw. Thanks for sharing. I learned some new ones!

Wishbone. I donโ€™t know about your family, but in mine everybody wanted the wishbone. After the turkey has been fully dismantled, the wishbone is set aside to dry. Later, two people take one prong and pull until it snaps. Whoever is holding the prong with the top still connected is gonna get their wish.

Straw Wrappers. This is similar to the wishbone. Remove the paper from the straw and tie a knot in it. One person pulls at each end until the paper tears, and whoever has the knot gets their wish.

Eyelashes. If an eyelash falls out accidentally (donโ€™t pull it!), put it on the back ofโ€ฆ
