A kindle thing

One of my favorite things is my kindle, if you don't know what a kindle is I will share with you. It is an electronic reading device, it is lightweight and the page that you read from is about 6", you can adjust the size of the type so that you can read without your glasses and best of all you can go online and order a new book and it appears on your kindle in about a minute. I like mine especially when I wake in the middle of the night and I need to read for a few minutes to get back to sleep. I just push the button and there is the page where I left offand now all of my books are large print so I don't have to search for my glasses in the middle of the night! Right now I am reading a new thriller titled the Rembrandt Affair, very good so far.

Mayhaw and Swamp Gravy

Not from around here?Don't know about Mayhaw and Swamp Gravy? Then you had best listen very carefully because no matter the form, if you partake, then you have had a wonderful southern treat! If you hear folks talking about Mayhaw, they might be talking about the best jelly in the world that is made locally right here in Colquitt, Ga. We are famous for this stuff! We are also famous for our "Mayhaw" musical and comedy show featuring outstanding local talent, the show is performed here at Cotten Hall, which by the way is the home of Swamp Gravy. Now if you overhear a conversation about Swamp Gravy and how wonderful it is, listen carefully, did they mention fish and hush puppies or did they talk about the wonderful stories and the unforgettable music. Swamp Gravy is a wonderful gravy that we serve with fried catfish and hushpuppies. It is also the name of our Official Georgia Folk Life Play.

Friends make life worth living

Today, a friend of many years and I went to Dothan to visit another friend of many years. We had such a good day just sharing lunch and being together, talkin g about our children and grandchildren and other old friends. Of course, we devoted a little time to our aches and pains and I shared my love of my new Kindle and the books that we were reading. I took her a gift of framed pressed flowers, some of my orange Cosmos and a little cotton angel. It was a wonderful day and we agreed that we should all do this more often "while we can"! We are thankful for precious times like this.

A Hot Election Day

It feels like 110 degrees out there today, but it looked like lots of folks were turning out to vote. If we only knew what future events are being set into motion as a result of choices that we make when we vote! Would we change the way we do this whole thing? There are lots of new books out now about politicians and predictions...its scary. When I was younger I thought that those who served our country in Washington were the finest and most honorable among us. I am older now!

Books and flowers

I used to buy books, paperback, hardback,new,used, all kinds but now that I have my kindle I don't buy that kind hardly ever, I just go to Amazon and order one and I have it in a minute. But my old books still have work to do, most of them of any size are busy pressing flowers. Sometimes I pick up a book and out falls a flower that I placed there a year or so ago and even tho I had forgotten all about it, it is still beautiful most of the time. I sometimes travel with a big book and a pair of scissors in my car just in case I find something unusual that I just have to have!

A Wonderful Gift

For my birthday a few months ago my children gave me a Kindle and I have fallen in love with reading again. It is absolute magic to suddenly have a new book in your hands and never leave the comfort of your favorite chair. Imagine, it only takes a minute and there it is right before you! I absolutely adore my kindle.

Another Great Blog!

Always making the Most of it

I have a passion for Customer Service! I was made aware of this today when I shopped and the lady at the checkout counter never made eye contact with me, never smiled or said Good Morning, she was talking to someone else the whole time, made me wonder if she really saw me, except of course she took my money. What a difference it would have made if she had greeted me with a smile, made eye contact, maybe even called me by my name.People n otice when someone does a great job. To me, it is all about "THE GOLDEN RULE". If we just remember to treat others in the same way that we want to be treated-- then everyone has a great day.

Making the Most of it

Life is the most precious gift.I am very thankful for so many blessings ,the path has been hard at times, but good always overcame. Family and friends come first, but I am thankful for being created with a curious and questioning nature, there are not many things that I don't find interesting, even tho I can't understand some of it, I am creative and crafty and this keeps me busy and sane as I grow older. My pressed flower work is a joy. My love of books and reading has strengthened my spirit, opened doors to new places, provided escape when I have needed it and much more. I love most being with my hildren and grandchildren
I want to spend my time doing useful things, spreading the word and contributing my time and efforts to worthwhile causes in my community. I just want to make the most of it!
