It’s Almost Time
Every year on my birthday in March I make a resolution to myself. Last year I decided to take a social media fast for a year. I’ll tell you about that later. For this year I’m considering only reading books from our home library. That would mean an entire year of not buying new books,…

How to end a fantastic weekend?
Spent the weekend reading, playing games with friends, spending time with family, and resting. Now I’m ending the weekend with banana bread. That’s how you end a fantastic weekend. Light & Love, Lori

How much time ya got?
What books do you want to read? All the books. 😁 I want to read…all…the…books! But really, who has time for that? I keep my TBR list on Goodreads. Right now it’s a manageable 18 books. You can see it here…send me a friend request and we can talk books. Light & Love, Lori

Morning? Night? Neither.
Morning or night? It depends on what it is I have to do at the time. If it is to spend time with my husband, I am an anytime person. If I have to go to work and I really do like my job, I am a morning person. If it is a lunch date…

I don’t Cry
What brings a tear of joy to your eye? I think this question is meant to provoke sweet stories of deep feelings and tranquillity. Sorry folks, not happening here. I used to cry at every little thing. Then life happened. I learned that my tears are only valuable to me. If I have a tear…

Excitement is Overrated
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. The last thing I got excited about was…let me think…no…not that…maybe….hum… See the thing is I don’t get excited. I am a genuinely happy person and tend to stay that way. I got news my daughter and grandchildren who live in Texas are going to…

The Color of Water
What do you love about where you live? I love that I can be anywhere I need to be in five or ten minutes. Even this is a short drive away. I love it here. To be here is home. Light & Love, Lori
