little bits

just stuff

Since I'm always curious about the people I read

about,  I decided to share a bit about me.

I'm a daughter, wife, mother,  Jesus follower.

I love books, crafts, cooking and

homeschooling my kids.

I love flowers and plants,

bird watching,

and the color RED

since I also always wonder about 

how old some of the people are

I'm just going to say it outright.

I'm 57 years old.

I've been married to the same man for 39 years.

that makes me sound old.  

but inside I feel young.

I have four kids.

one grown and on her own for a while.

two boys in college.  

one lives on campus. 

one lives at home.

and one daughter still homeschooling

in her Sr. year.

I've loved homeschooling so much.

I'm going to miss it when she is finished.

I love books.

I read all the time.

I carry a book when I go out just in case.

I talk about the books I've read.

a lot.

I have kept long lists of books that I have

used for homeschooling.  

If someone asks me for ideas for homeschooling

I just look at my lists.

If someone wants a good fiction book, 

I look at my lists.

I know my librarian by first name.

One of my sons works part time

in a public library.

so, 

because he knows I love to read,

he brings me more books.

this makes me happy.

I read a large variety of books.  Some I can recommend,

some I can't. 

I like to know whats new, what the young people are reading.

what is new in Kids literature. 

I love to read books that have or will be made into movies.

then I watch the movie.

one of the things we have done in homeschooling is to read

a  book and then watch the movie.  then we talk and compare and

decide which was better.  and why

as I talk about these books,

I might include some spoilers.  

I'm letting you know ahead of time,

and now

one of my favorite photos.

from my library.
