A Picture is Worth

This link will take you to a site that has a very unique way of illustrating just how much junk we throw away every day. It’s time we started looking for some alternatives to all that trash.

A Memoir

Zazzy has invited all who visit her blog to post a “six-word memoir.” I have been struggling to find the right six words. I have found 4 words and 8 words, even 5 words, but 6 words just seems to escape me. Perhaps these will do.

Daughter, mother, wife, lover, sister, friend

These six pretty well tell the story of my life – that’s what a memoir is supposed to do, is it not?

Like Zazzy, I invite all who would like to participate in the meme to do so. And leave me a note so my readers and I can come and visit you.

In the Pink

I received this request in an e-mail.  I thought it worth sharing.

A favor to ask, it only takes 30 seconds….

* ***
Please tell ten friends to tell ten today ! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on ‘donating a mammogram’ for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors /advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here’s the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Fahrenheit 451

I have posted a blog about this book at Reader’s Anonymous.  Please follow this link to that blog and then leave me some comments.  I’d really like some feedback about this.  Don’t be shy.

Starting April 1 RA is having a couple contests – one is for bringing in new members.  I’d love to win.  Take a look around the site.  If you like it, sign up (after the contest starts on the first) and then leave a note that I sent you.   We read one new book per month as a group.  This is chosen by group vote.  And then we discuss what we have read.  We’re really hoping for some new members to liven up the discussions.

Perrine Bridge

Wordless Wednesday #9

I frequently post pictures of the Snake River as it runs through Idaho Falls where I live. This picture is of the Snake River near Twin Falls where I grew up. The bridge is named for I.B. Perrine, an early settler in the area. This is where my heart truly resides.

Lurking – Lurking

I’ve been lurking a lot lately.  It seems just too much trouble to actually leave a reply.  My brain isn’t working well – can’t think of anything coherent to say.  Also, my fingers trip over the keyboard and make strange words.  However, I think there is sunshine on the horizon.  I felt better for an hour or so when I first got up this morning! ;D

I seem to recall reading a post last week where I was tagged for a meme.  I can’t remember who tagged me.  If it was you, please leave me a note telling me where to find the tag.  Thank you!

A Bunny Joke

A lady opened her refrigerator and saw a rabbit sitting on one of the shelves.

“What are you doing in there?” she asked.

The rabbit replied: “This is a Westinghouse, isn’t it?”

To which the lady answered, “Yes.”

“Well,” the rabbit said, “I’m westing.”

Sorry … I couldn’t help myself.

Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Today

“Christ, the Lord, is risen today, A-a-a-a-le-e-lu-u-jah!”

“…Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?…”

John 20:15
