Rambling thoughts . . .

A mish mosh of thoughts and comments . . . .

Several months ago my hubby decided to redo the wood floor in the bedroom which meant we had to empty the room. He decided to also do the closet and install new closet doors. Then his aneurysm needed taken care of so the work on the bedroom stopped. Of coursse then spring and summer came along and energies were directed to outside work. Inside, things have been in disarray for months. A week or so ago, he stripped, stained and sealed the wood floor, got the new closet doors fitted and now he's working on the trim. We are slowly putting things back together and I hope in another week or two and we should be done. Hooray!

I was reminded this week why Nora Roberts is one of my favorite authors. (She also writes the "In Death" series under the name J.D. Robb and every 3 or 4 years I go back and read the entire series from the beginning to the most current book.) This past week I reread her "Circle Trilogy" from 2006 and once again found myself enchanted. As I closed the final book in the trilogy, I thought to myself, damn! she is a mighty fine story teller!

From books to TV - The View is back live today (reruns have been running for a month or so) and I was sad to learn Whoopi Goldberg lost her Mother on 8/29. Whoopi's eloquent statement that "no one will ever love me like that again" was a beautiful and quiet tribute to her Mom. Even though I know she will never see this, I extend my condolences.

What? What's that? I hear a book, a dozen dogs, & the gazebo calling. . . . . . . . see ya later
