A Bit of This and That

8 Comments/ 445/ 0

It’s been a great week here in rainy Transylvania County and I couldn’t be happier. One reason is pictured below.

I was so happy to get my first shot on Monday – got lucky getting an appointment and get the next one on April 19th. Working on getting Chris his now which I am confident will happen in the next couple of weeks. It is such a wonderful feeling to know we are on the road to being safer.

I am excited about finding some really great books to include in my Little Free Library and in the Connestee Library when it re-opens. The Dim Sum for Everyone one is for Theo’s Easter basket – it is the cutest little board book.

Maksim has been a naughty cat lately. I have some decorative carrots sprinkled on my dining room table as part of my Easter display. Apparently he loves it and every morning I have come out to various pieces and parts scattered around the house. I finally gave up and put them all away.

I joined the Ladies Luncheon Committee here at Connestee on Wednesday to do a hugely successful Easter Dinner Food Drive. It was a pretty miserable rainy day but we were able to collect over $2500 and 4 filled cars/vans of food for our local Bread of Life and Sharing House charities. That will go a very long way to help our neighbors with food insecurities. It was a really fun day and I was so happy to be able to be involved.

Our General Manager, Jim Whitmore, was a good sport and dressed up as the Easter Bunny during the morning to help us with our event.

As I am writing this on Thursday afternoon we have all kinds of bad weather coming our way. Tornado warnings (which are very rare for us) and lots of lightening and rain. My glass half full attitude is happy that they lake is now filled back up thanks to all of the rain.

What’s going on with you today? Fill me in and Comment for a Cause for Copeland Oaks Library.

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
