I took granddaughter Autumn with me to Barnes & Noble this afternoon to do a little Christmas shopping. We are both fanatic book lovers, and always trip out over a visit to B&N. She was an invaluable help to me in checking off my Christmas gifts, and I got a lot of my shopping done.
There were a couple of books that are on order and when I get the call that they are in the store, I will take Arianna with me to shop for Autumn's books. I don't know how I managed, but this trip was spent entirely in the kids' section. Some day I will go back and take at least a couple or more hours to properly browse for myself!
Barnes & Noble is such a wonderful store to browse (and buy), and it is so much more fun than ordering online. They have an incredible selection with very knowledgeable salespeople who are happy to offer suggestions, and I'm so pleased that I had a companion with me who appreciates the ambiance of a bookstore.
I just looked out at the most beautiful sunset yet. The sky is a brilliant red color like I've never seen before.
Jeannie & Donald gave me a bottle of red zinfandel for my birthday, and I'm enjoying a glass right now. It is called "Old Soul", which fits me to a "T"! Jeanne and I went to the gym last night and when she brought me home we broke open the bottle and enjoyed a small glass each. I'm getting to like red wine, and I drink it more slowly than the heavenly Gewurztraminer, a spicy German white wine. I always seem to go back for a 2nd glass of the Gewurtz!
A couple more sips of Old Soul and I will start fixing my dinner. I've had such a wonderful peaceful day beginning with my first cup of coffee to the glass of wine I'm enjoying right now. I couldn't ask for a better life!
- I Did It Again!
Last night I poured a glass of wine, using one of my better wine glasses, and damned if I didn't brush my arm against the glass sitting on the countertop and spilled the wine plus broke the glass! I don't know what it happening to me but I do...

Another Christmas has come and gone, and I'm still reeling! Our family had a wonderful gathering, with lots of love and laughs. I am drinking a super tasty cup of coffee this morning, made possible by my new Mr. Coffee. One of my...

I just realized it's shortly before 6 pm and I hadn't yet turned on my computer! I'm pretty worn out from a quick trip with Jeannie to my house. I dropped off a lot of things I won't need until I get back home, and picked up...

I actually enjoyed the party at the bounce house - the time went by pretty quickly and the kids all had fun. All of Autumn's kindergarten class had been invited, and I have never seen such a nice bunch of kids - no one was rowdy, pushed or shoved,...
