Growing Where I Am Planted

Welcome to my blog. I am new at this, so please, bear with me as I get my feet wet. ;-) I am 'planting' myself in a new area today, and all newly planted things need water, right?



I have never enjoyed writing, but I LOVE to read. Soooo, here goes...a new adventure begun!

What are you reading?

I am usually reading two or three different types of books at a time.

At this time, I am reading The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by L.Frank Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It is a very short little story and I have quite enjoyed reading it. I should finish it today, if I get off the internet long enough! ;-)

A friend recommended Have a New Husband by Friday by Dr. Kevin Leman. It is marriage and family type book. It has some good information in it, but I sometimes find myself frustrated with this type of book. I don't want to change my husband, I married him as is.

The third book I am reading is Moon Women by Pamela Duncan. It is a novel set in the foothills of North Carolina. The language is a bit stronger than I like, therefore it is taking me a while to read it. But I will persevere and eventually finish it.

Well, I'm off to see the wizard, I mean, I am off to run errands and get the bue-eyes (kids) from school. (Bue-eyes is my short for blue-eyes.)

Welcome to this beautiful day! It is sunny and 57 at the moment, but clouds are moving in. Will it rain? I don't know. I usually accept the weather that greets me when I walk out the door each morning. I can't change it anyway, so why not just accept it, as is?
Puxsatawny Phil saw his shadow. Six more weeks of winter, or six weeks until spring. Take your pick. ;-)
