Welcome to Litsy!

I would sell books and yarn, and maybe showcase local crafters/ artists. I would call it Knitting Prose. I think there should be coffee and homemade cookies and brownies, like grandma‘s recipes, to sell to donate to local causes. Maybe customers could submit their favorites ( selfishly I‘m getting recipes!). I‘d like to have a cat on the loose. Just writing this, I want it to be real❤️ #wondrouswednesday thank you for the tag @Kshakal @Eggs

If I owned a bookshop it would be open 24 hours a day, it was have a resident shop cat, be called books and bubble and serve delicious coffee and treats! I would not just books but all things bookish!

1. Ted Lasso on Apple TV, Survivor and Beef on Netflix…I also just started watching Tom Jones, I love Masterpiece Theater.
2. My own deck, which is so lucky as it is free lol! But also near water, any water anywhere.
3. I love Head‘s Up around the bonfire, my whole family does not so…I also enjoy Euchre.
#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. Beef (Netflix)
2. Michigan to visit my grandson
3. Rummikub

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. We‘re watching YellowJackets & Ted Lasso. We‘ve also been watching The Simpsons (my first time through!) & are on season 13.

2. Fogland Beach in Tiverton, RI. It‘s always quiet, has beautiful beach roses, and it‘s a drive through gorgeous rural farmland to get there - 30 minutes from my house with a homemade ice cream shop & a seafood shack on the way.

3. Scrabble, of course!

#WondrousWednesday

1. My favorite teacher in high school called me a “quiet leader.” My two favorite literature professors in college argued vehemently over who “discovered” me. My ex once told me that my eyes “look like Australia.” And early in our courtship, my husband said that getting an email from me was like “waking up on Christmas morning and finding a jet pack under the tree.”
2. I wish I could dance like @ thomastaps or @ pamelamelaela. Find them on Insta!

1. Quality not quantity, in relationships and things. And you will be ok and stronger than you think.
2. Plane, not the flight so much as the destinations are more endless.
3. My husband 💯
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs thank you!!

Hahaha always a bit late!
1- you find your love and your tribe- be patient.
2- car, far less anxiety.
3- that‘s a hard one, it probably depends on the decision.

1. Take care of your knees!
2. Train
3. Best friend
#wondrousnesday

1. A disc jockey at a radio station or veterinarian
2. Well, I work for the sex offender registry so…
3. Rock, and truly “yacht rock” lately - and everything else except country music. I truly love music.

2. 🤔 I have no idea…maybe a sound track? Lol
3. Quiet, laying in bed or on my deck in the sunshine.
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. Summer, none, aqua, tulips, anywhere there is a good story, Pepsi max, cards
2. The Comfort Book by Matthew Haig
#wondeouswednesday @Eggs

1. Continuing to learn and also enjoy vast travel in my imagination. It also is a key part of my evening routine, it helps me to relax and let the day go.
2. I have Maame waiting for me at the library. I also hope Big Swiss comes in, I saw it was an #aardvark offering but I abstained from buying it…so far
3. I like magical realism and I hope Emma Seckle is thinking up a new book right now 🤞🏼
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

📚 I read one book after another, so I guess I don't get book hangovers🤷

📚 How I feel about the book. Basically, Wow to why did I even read this crap.

📚I don't listen to music, I would start singing 🤣 During the day, when I am home alone, nothing is on. At night, when hubby is home, the TV is on, but I ignore it.

#WondorousWednesday
@Eggs

1. Recently none sadly, but in the past A Little Life and East of Eden, even Eat, Pray, Love.
2. It‘s all emotional, did I like it, was it a good story. If I hate the characters I can still be objective (wee…subjective I guess) to whether it was well told.
3. Nope, I love music so much it can carry me right off.
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. Stephen King, I‘ve been reading him since 1981, so I think it has to be him. Though I did read altogether too many Virgin River Robin Carr last year ☺️
2. In my bed every night, or on the deck in the summer with my feet up. (Anywhere no one is talking to me, pet peeve…”are you reading?”)
3. Not really, I mean to and then don‘t.

@TheSpineView Thank you for the tag! #wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. My husband would not agree but active listening and patience. Years as a probation agent has made this my super power. It doesn‘t always translate to my personal life as I‘m tired and out of empathy by 5pm.
2. Witnessing kindness, all kinds of memories and nostalgia, music, my girls and animals.
3. Doom scrolling 👎🏻 and knitting 🧶
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. Work...which I'm just wrapping up for the day! I read, meditate and do diamond painting! Walk when it's not stupid cold and snowy lol.
2. Travel - see the world and other cultures, the love of a pet and being comfortable in your own skin.
Thanks @peaknit @Eggs #wondrouswednesday

#wonderouswednesday @Eggs
1. It has always been work, I recently changed roles and I can‘t tell you how much I wish I had done this sooner. I walk/run, yoga, knit, meditate, gratitude journal. I have dipped a toe in all the stress relief ☺️
2. Having a dog sidekick, the perfect companion when you‘re stressed! And I‘ve seen unconditional love on others‘ posts and have to agree. You can‘t put a price on that.
@JenReadsAlot @Kshakal @BethM

❄️Work, conflict, etc!! Exercise and meditation.
❄️A beautiful sunrise or sunset.

@Eggs #wondrouswednesday

1. When people support one another, pay it forward, and are kind just because. I find inspiration in nature, the woods, the beach, my deck, please give me sun to recharge. Memory lane can also be beautiful with old friends and family. Remember when life was simpler.
2. My daughter and dad at her last Highschool Christmas concert.

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

1. Motley Crue and Duran Duran…I enjoyed a vast selection of music, still a rocker 🤘🏻
2. Tight roll jeans, shaker sweaters, BIG hair!
@Eggs #Wondrouswednesday Thank you for the tag @Kshakal - all come play!

#wondrouswednesday
The same as now 😁 Gary Numan! It will be 44 years in May this year.
Goth and New Romantics were the big thing. I loved it, different hair colours all the time, great make up.

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs Thanks for the tag @Kshakal
1. Practical, relatable, funny and poignant

#WondrousWednesday thanks for the tag @Eggs ☺️

1. Family photo taken at our Christmas celebration yesterday (hence the late Thursday post here)

2. No real plans, except my little sister is in town and wants to get together on Saturday. Otherwise I'll be reading into the new year 🎉

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
❤️ I do set a goal, it changes each year depending on how I did the previous year so it stays attainable
💜 I've already thoroughly surpassed my goal this year, which was 150 but I'm close to hitting 250 by year-end which is just crazy to me 😳
💙 Weekend plans are last minute Christmas preparations before my parents arrive on Sunday for their stay

Tagging @OriginalCyn620 @bthegood @AmandaBlaze if you haven't played yet

1. I celebrate Christmas Eve with my kids and husband. We often go to church, have a birthday cake for Jesus (because…cake) and open gifts from Santa and one another. Plus I force Jolabokaflod on them ☺️
2. We used to get fancy, or have snacks with the in-laws. We have gotten simpler, we see what we are feeling. We are leaning towards lasagna from a local restaurant his year and 🎂
@Eggs Thank you for the tag @Kshakal #wondrouswednesday

#WonderousWednesday @Eggs
1. I‘m not a fan of winter so this is a tough question, probably the “forced” relaxation due to early darkness, and the urge to cook comfort food and read or knit that comes with.
2. All I want for Christmas is to have my kids back and be happy. (First Xmas with one child moved out on her own 🤔 interesting)
3. The Foundling by Ann Leary from #auldlangspine📚 @JenReadsAlot @Kshakal Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView

Tagging @CBee @PageShifter @Nelnjali if you haven't played already ☺️

1. Signal Fires by Dani Shapiro
2. I received a gift subscription to PageOne, it felt like they were able to send me books that suited me that had not read.
3. The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen and Winter Solstice by Rosamund Pilcher.
#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

#WondrousWednesday @Eggs

1. With buddy reads, switching between print, kindle, and audio formats, and just being a moody mood reader, I'm usually reading at least 5 or 6 books at once 😅

2. Favorites have been The Charm Offensive and A Strange and Stubborn Endurance. A pan was The Marriage Game

Posting late in the day so tagging anyone who hasn't played yet and would like to ☺️

1. King Kong, I was way too little to watch it. Does anyone remember the original Escape from With Mountain with Tony and Tia? Not scary but a random childhood movie.
2. I enjoyed Discovery of Witches.
3. Black
@Eggs #wonderouswednesday Thsnk you for the tag @Kshakal

Thank you @Eggs for the tag.
Happy Wednesday everyone.

#wondrouswednesday @Eggs

🍁 Autumn is the end of summer which is a tough transition for me.

🎃 A family trip to Universal in two weeks, and my husband‘s birthday on Halloween is fun!

@ravenlee thanks for the tag!!! It‘s only a little behind schedule- the story of my life 🤣
1. I completely agree with @ravenlee - it‘s a cycle, no end no beginning. I love the concept of Wheel of The Year, just turning.
2. My October is looking different then I had planned- so other then Hallowed Homecoming camp weekend for Samhain, everything else is just one day at a time.

Autumn is the end of summer, but the beginning of the harvest season. The leaves turn, the trees prepare for their winter rest.

No definitive plans. Enjoying autumn as much as possible.
