Today: Still smiling over a picture Melanie sent me yesterday. Our Camron is simply adorable. He was cuddled up to me the other day and said, "You smell good."
And, it's National Escargot Day. Anyone have snails on your menu?
At my writing desk: I got everything accomplished yesterday except for the chapter. I think tomorrow I'll start with that. When I first started writing, I got up at 4:00 and wrote for three hours before the girls got up. That's not going to happen at this time of my life. But I'm thinking of getting up just one hour earlier. My clearest writing is done before noon.
In the mail: 3 pieces of mail -- an open house invitation, and some fun new note cards, too.

Praying for: My niece's (Pammy Jo) husband and family. Their grandmother went to heaven and some of the family are traveling to South Dakota.
Thankful for: A fun night at Barnes and Noble. Honestly, those six hours fly by.
I'm reading: I need to find a Biography for the Book Club I belong to. Any ideas?
I order a lot of books through Amazon Marketplace. I've never had an issue. Yesterday a book rated "very good" arrived in less than acceptable condition. I messaged the seller. I only paid a penny for it plus 3.99 shipping, but if we don't hold sellers accountable, we'll all start getting books in an unacceptable condition. They did send me a free book.

Postmarking: I'm sending three out today, and have ten I started on last night to send tomorrow.
Favorite quote: Kindness is just love with its workboots on. ~Author unknown
I love that quote. It really rings true :)
ReplyDeleteThat quote is one of my favorites. I have a huge wall hanging in my den.
ReplyDeleteNever heard that quote before but I do love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you read Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls?
ReplyDeleteAlso "I am Malala" by Malala Yousafzai is another good read.
You remind me of someone who has read all of the Mitford Series? I loved Jan Karon's books. Your post are always inspiring to me. I just finished writing a couple of cards and read your post and had to comment:)

I love this quote. This is so true. Kindness is how love works <3
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get into the routine of writing for myself every day. I'm a freelance writer and spend so much time writing for others that I tend to neglect my own writing projects.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know we have a day to celebrate Escargot, that's so fun. You can never make me eat them, although there are times that I just go with the flow. That quote is really nice, and it's true as well.
ReplyDeleteNo snails for me, thanks. Although I love looking at them on the TV when a camera zooms in and follows them, haha. Sorry about your Amazon experience, I agree with the accountability thing.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote and this post makes me want to write more for myself.
ReplyDeleteI miss getting mails in the mailbox! Last thing I received was a postcard from a friend abroad.
ReplyDeleteI love writing but haven't do that for a while. Whenever I got time for myself, I will begin to write again.
ReplyDeleteThat is a quote that I've never heard before. I like it too. I also love getting mail. It's always a fun day when you get something nice in the mail.
ReplyDeletelovely quote! it is true! when we shar eour love is when it has his boots on
ReplyDeleteWhat was the event at Barnes and Noble? I hope it was fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the quote kindness is just love with its workboots on so true x
